Ideally a mod's responsibility is to avoid such things over a forum and not supporting them
There is no such thing as a universal right to never be offended by anything someone else says.evishalarora wrote:yes, I don't know much about SMS, but still wants to be respected and give respect regardless of the point that I have 1 post or 10000(For that instance, regardless of my race too).
As some said, that my case is weak because I have one post and SE and SMS has more that 5000 posts, then I want to make clear that I have this post (only one post) to let SMS know that may be even in a joke, he might hurt someone, who has come for help to this wonderful forum. We might take things lightly, but others might not. Thats the only thing I want to raise here.
Rest I have seen SMS's post in other topics of the forum and can surely say he is a helpful gem, but sometimes we need to be watchful along with being helpful.
Sorry, but as I said, I am and have been a member of an extended Indian family for over 27 years now (and unfortunately, am now the patriarch of said family). The Indian system of cooking is no different than any other style of cooking in Asia other that the penchant for using ghee in some types of dishes. Which, if not cleaned up properly, turn rancid and permeates anything wooden in the house leaving an aroma that is difficult if not impossible to remove, short of a total renovation of the house. As far as using large pots, you obviously haven't been to many hawker centres here have you. If you aren't here yet, have you ever been outside of India into the rest of SE Asia? Malays also use large pots, as do Indonesians. They also have their own versions of curries as well. The only real difference in the Indian system of cooking is the serving on banana leaves. Or as in modern Indian restaurants, polished aluminum or stainless steel dishes. Therefore, unless you plan or reusing banana leaves, everything in my initial post stands and you are current the one who look like this:evishalarora wrote:
Dear SMS, BTW I was not talking about your suggestion over Sri lankan maid, but was referring to your joke over Indian style of cooking.
because you did this:

evishalarora wrote:nobody wants to dictate here. It was my concern which I raised. As I don't know much about you, SMS, you also don't know me much and I know how much respect I hold in my circle.
I don't need to know too much about you. Your first post already told me a great deal.
My aim was to have a decent forum which intends to help and If I got soimething wrong I am sorry for that.
Then I would suggest you start your own forum. This one works fine. In fact, we have been the no. 1 expat forum in Singapore for a couple of years now.
I am not the one, who can't accept his mistakes, but I still believe if your comment about bananna leaves could hurt me, it could hurt the author of the topic as well and might also your MiL or your wife for that reason.
My wife has been laughing her arse off over your silliness. Her take? If you don't wash your banana leaves properly, you could very well get food poisoning. Had it "hurt" the OP I'm sure the OP would have said something. Guess the OP, like my wife, has got something you don't have, hasn't she. Surely, you know. Don't you? It's called a sense of humour. I suggest, that for you to survive very long on this board, you find one. I think Mustapha's might have 'em in the basement. Give 'em a try.
You will go far, but probably not far enough.
Oh, most of the posters here know that if I'm wrong, I always apologize. This time isn't one of them.
