Based on the wrong perception of the online persona,many conflicts were created. Innocent newbies have been annihilated. Good newbies were culled by the more arrogant seniors. Forummers with good intentions were killed off because they disagreed with the seniors who often gathered in mob and initiated the lynching process.
But the latest ferocious exchanges were the worst I have seen between the best intellectuals here in this forum.It involved individuals and it also involved groups and gangs. The worst thing about the latest conflict was the blatant use of vulgarities, obscenities and profanities of the lowest kind.
These are supposed to be the elite in this forum. They are supposed to have the intellect to form an " alternative " voice in parliament. I am deeply disappointed. I cry for Singapore ....No wonder the need to import foreign talent is imperative. Our own brains are going down the drain. Sad...very very sad.
When smart ,intelligent and intellectual people are provoked, they cannot handle. They return to ground zero and behave like wild savaged animals. Singapore cannot afford to have such people to be their leaders. We need to cultivate new blood always.The need to import foreign talent is politically imperative, economically necessary and eugenically paramount for the good and the future of our society. Thank you.
