A thread That was recently started by me has been shutdown, and the truth is I understand from the mod's point of view why. I should have included in my opening statement the purpose of the thread. I start this thread in hopes to continue, and also to explain why I started in the first place.
A short time ago myself and another member became suspicious that Rou was also known as Darktide. Now, this for the most part is no big deal, if he wants to log on under a different name at times it means nothing to me.
The problem is when the other member mentioned it Rou denied being Darktide. Now, Rou is, let us say, one of the more vocal members of the forum. He usually will have an opinion about most any topic, which is again, ok (of course).
Many of Rou's opinions are very forceful, and often conflict other members opinions. There are times his opinion has conflicted with what another muslim member has said in another thread, etc. The purpose of my trying to confirm my suspicion is to establish credibility for Rou's opinions in my thought, or dismiss his opinions.
When I am interested in muslim thought on a issue and encounter conflicting opinions from two muslims, I must decide for myself who is right and who is wrong. To do this I have to decide who is credible and who is not. If I find that he has been misleading us when he says he is not Darktide, then it is decided. If I decided based on a persons demeanor, and manners, I would have decided by now. But I recognize that it is possible for someone to be extremly rude and confrontational, and still be right on a issue.
If I am wrong in my suspicion, then I will have no problem with starting a thread offering a public apology to Rou/Darktide, he...ahem... I mean 'they'
will deserve the apology.
