--In this open and very active forum of this magnitude and diversity where the participants are located worldwide including the USA, Bangladesh, Canada, Australia, Asia, Europe etc, with many very thoughtful and talented people in this PFC-Friends Forum, it is easier if we focus on the messages rather than the messangers. There have been requests not to make any personal attacks or to use any vulger words or phrases in this discussion forum. There have also been requests not to attack the religion of Islam in particular and other religions in general, and that is because it appears to be a cheap way to try to win an argument or to show the wisdom. There are many other good topics that can be discussed by thoughtful and talented people with sound logic but without vulgarity. It is highly expected that the respected membership of this very active global forum will maintain mutual respect and civility while discussion continues through sound logic on many good topics. With best regards.

Subject: Re: {PFC-Friends} the value of discourseMuch as I enjoy some of the postings and feel provoked by others, I cannot continue to belong to it as long as one of the most prolific contributors is pseudonymous.
My request to the moderator: either assure me that you know the identity of all contributors and that some individuals have good reason to be 'unknown', or please remove me from this list.
Thanks and Khuda hafiz

Subject: {PFC-Friends} the value of discourse
--The recent, specific, claims that someone or some people are sending messages under pseudonyms is disturbing. The language has sometimes become insulting and vulgar, despite several requests to the contrary. This prevents discourse, which is the main value of such a forum. I wish I knew how to stop the exchange at sarcasm and the occasional barb.
However, if someone really fears retaliation for participating in this forum, perhaps they should leave? and if they stay, why use a false name? anyone who posts has to provide the moderator with a definite identity.Can the moderator please take a stand, one way or another?
