@Smoulder, perhaps I owe you an apology. I've stood up for people who were attacked on the basis of national stereotypes in the past, and I've found that with Indians, they've often been content to let someone else fight their battles. That's why I said what I did to you, and I acknowledge I was guilty of stereotyping too.
Singapore Flyer, I read your post. Noted. It made sense, and I do acknowledge those two mods seem to have made many useful posts.
Lisafuller, you haven't followed my posts. I called those two mods out because I thought they deserved it. If you're referring to Smoulder and Juggernaut by "them", Smoulder has already acknowledged he's indeed Indian.
As I've said before, I posted after reading multiple posts by those two mods where they seem to have assumed that every Indian is out to game the system. They've said as much on other threads.
And yes, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but you don't answer a specific question from a specific person by generalising on the basis of his origin. That's racism.
Face it, if the OP had said he was from Croatia or Colombia, PNGMK wouldn't have called him a tosser.
MOCHS, PMing those two wouldn't have helped. You want to dish it out in public, you have to be prepared to take it too.
@Jayman,
I can vouch for the immense contribution of the 2 moderators whom you are complaining about. On the surface they look rough, but if you dig through what they have done to educate people here and help them, you will surely understand their good work.
Secondly, they say things straight and without any sugar coating. This hurt me initially too. But with time,maturity and real life findings, we will value it. I am 100% sure that if you calm down, follow this forum for a year+, you will say the same too.
I came to this forum in 2008/2009 similar to many in this forum asking for very basic questions about PR. Got harsher replies too. But with time, I understood what is really needed via this forum.
I have been literally whacked by SMS initially many times

. But everytime he whacks me, he will give 2-3 big paragraphs of the reality that is of great value. This information you will not get it from any documentation anywhere.
