for the decline of Somalinet Forum?
Lack of anything Intellectual?
This place was pulsating with vigor of intellectual energy and thought provoking discussions. A large variety of personal views on all subjects, where they were discussed with a level of understanding of an issue that sheds light on or perhaps help solve a problem. I recollect a time where forumers would put in immense deal of effort to present an argument that was masterfully written and presented. People used to take pride in what they post, how they check the other side or their antagonist through logic, truth or how well one arliculates his/her point of view. Yes there was passion, anger, insults even but all that came from the fears intellect and clash of ideas. I had an overwhelming admiration for some of the people that did post here for the reason that if you did not do a thorough preparotory study of a subject you wanted to debate about with another forumer, you were made to look dumb.
At the present day, it seems as though we have found solace in our dumbt down surroundings. Surely those who came before weren't more intelligent than the forumers of today, so where have things gone wrong? why instead of choosing substance in the place of popularity we shed more light on trifling issues rather discussing things of importance. Why is that silly topics get more hits than those of sensible message? I'm not sure what the problem is nor do I have a solution for it but I thought I would just put this out there and let people examine it for themselves.
Would like to see this forum back
