so you are implying that the Admin should be treated as GOD ?

and old members should be treated as "superiors"

hmm... strange. I had a good impression on you on the other thread... :(

of course not!

My bad, should not have assumed that we were on the same page.

Sir, you are very much mistaken to feel that I was saying they were Gods or Superiors.
I apologize if you felt that there was a subliminal message.

I am by no means trying to manipulate or psycho you into anything, and I do acknowledge that none of us in this forum has that ability nor the patience to do so but yourself.

However, I would like to clarify that when I said that it would be appreciated if you Sir would chose not to slander other members on the forums, the main reason was because it creates unwanted tension and bad feelings between members.

I refer to your previous thread; which many ElaKiri(EK) members bombarded you with posts asking you to exit EK. I consider that a waste of energy and time.

Riddle me this, did you feel that after that thread, any purpose was achieved? I think not. All it served to do, correct me if I error, was to create a whole ‘anti-Wizkido’ club.

Which was the reason I asked you not to do so in future; it was meant to answer your “not the best helpful crowed eh?” question. Well, I wasn’t clear and that backfired.
I am sorry.

You are obviously free to say or do as you please, just please do not expect everyone to just forget what you said about their friends and rush over to assist you when you need it.

I mean, the whole merit of an online community is that it is possible to not even acknowledge the ‘existence’ of someone that you have issues with.

As the Chinese often say; “No one will think you are mute, just because you do not speak”

Ok juz to add to what Elakiri really means and how it really rooted in our vocabulary.... ever wonder why they say it???

Well... in Sinhalese culture people have believed from ancient times that milk is a sign of prosperity.. And our fore fathers, fathers and even current generations still do have that belief..

If you look at Sinhalese way of living you can see many examples.. During Sinhalese New Year we boil a pot of milk, and January 1st we eat Rice cooked in Milk and Not only that whenever we do some good thing for the first time our families still cook milk rice (Kiri bath), whether we just do it for the sake of it or intentionally i dunno...but this is the history and its just there until now..

So when we say "Elakiri" which implies that everything is going fine... And oh!! there's a saying as well "Kiri gahata anna wage" which means it really went well without any troubles!!!
