I can appreciate the physics of what you are describing, i.e. the cycle of hostility and bigotry, but what I am concerned with is the normative question as to the standards that we should uphold as posters here. Content that is encountered elsewhere on the internet should not influence one's conduct on SDF. I have no doubt that there is a lot of bigotry toward Chinese persons, culture, etc. on various Indian discussion forums. That is unfortunate. But being on the receiving end of bigotry in one forum does not justify posting bigotry in another forum. There is no amorphous mass of "Chinese posters" or "Indian posters" (or "Australian posters" for that matter), there is only each of us responsible for our own conduct. If posters wish to carry on feuds they have observed or been involved in elsewhere, they should do so in those other places.
On SDF I believe we should try to be respectful of one another, and that our criticisms should be narrowly addressed to particular persons, parties, institutions, governments, or ideologies. To descend into mindless hatred, dislike, contempt of the "other" is the ever-present danger of nationalist/military forums and I believe that SDF is better than most forums in this respect, which is one of the reasons I post here and not elsewhere. It is also why I am disappointed when discussions fall short of that general standard. And unfortunately, discussions involving India are the most consistent culprits. I raise these concerns not because I think SDF and its posters are terrible, but because I am grateful for this place and its community and wish it to remain of a high standard, rather than be dragged down by ongoing cycles of hatred, contempt, and bigotry.
I agree and so I have largely refrained from treading that far which other members here have.
You will notice that while my posts are intended to humble the Indians a bit, they are still based on reason, fact, and in response to posts which I think require some correcting.
It's kind of like providing flat earthers with a tiny spout of educating and informing within let's say an hours worth of relatively fun typing, reading, and posting on my part. Am I to be denied an outlet as well for the troubles? Why not call a spade a spade, and a degenerate a degenerate? The others can go at it as they please... it's a rules based forum but they can speak their minds as Haribharati has felt comfortable doing after being rejected by Chinese members in denying him the sought after applause and pat on the proverbial Indian back... Well done boys Jai Hind.
I don't think my respectfulness has ventured any further than the respectfulness received from Indian posters can't speak for other Chinese posters here. A de-escalation of hostile remarks and posts result in the same from me, after correcting the nonsense of course.
If one doesn't want someone to correct your nonsense and humble you in a relatively polite fashion (look at how literally anyone else behaves in similar situations and forums) then don't spout nonsense, proclaim as truth, and look for approval of one's BS.
As for the community standards, well be glad then that it's impressively higher than Indian ones at least? And in doing so, accept that, like you admitted, the physics of these dynamics simply mean there will be increasing Chinese hostility and dislike, even hatred for Indians and the Indians deserve every last atom and every last scoff and thought they have coming. Trust me... you probably know well enough if you can admit their forums and their attitudes are repugnant to the extreme. I don't need to use the language they commonly employ and I won't recount what they want to do to you, your nation, your sons and daughters and so on.
PS although the post chain above this one does illustrate your point very well lol. On that I do agree and Chinese members should scale it back because it's pointless and worthless to engage in shit slinging with the expert shit slingers. When they deviate and use those typical tactics in their "debate" just refrain from that last ledge of insult dishing and carry on with a bit more class and intelligence. No need to be directly calling other retarded, you can show and prove to all the readers that they indeed are
