Certain urgent preoccupations kept me from here last night. Nonetheless, having read everything that surpassed in my absence, a few things have come to light. But first, thank you Deepti, for taking the time out to reply to all my "Queries" (Read curt questions not accusations) and that too so comprehensively. Appreciated!

You cleared the fact that you didn't see what had been happening prior to your sign in, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt there anyway cause else the question would not have existed in the first place. So that's good to hear.

Amongst the many opinions that were exchanged yesterday, I found one too many questionable in the broader scheme of things. Looking at the larger picture, I will let those pass. But there was one such explanation that I strongly disagree with and this being a forum viz. place of discussion I would like to point that out. Statements pertaining to being civil, giving second chances, diplomacy and age, these concepts are really strong and have a number of ways of comprehension. For instance, maturity and the art of not getting influenced and holding fort have nothing to do with age, they are more so inclined towards strength of character. Diplomacy is good, at times. With certain events, diplomacy is contrary of being a strength.

I would like to in short tell you all why this was necessary yes. PMs are helpful and Deepti, you would have shot down the replies but the crux of the matter remains. It was not whether the reply existed or not, it was to do with the fact that the one person that should not have had the leverage, did have it. Its not about a simple hello, its about the fact that no matter the past, this person was well acknowledged. Now you say, she may have been lonely and so you being you thought it would be nice to help. The thing about bullies, is that they are insecure. They have issues and they need help. At times, the slightest bit of leverage, "Sheh" can swing them in the direction one may be trying to steer them away from. Many tried to give chances but the person was never worthy of any. Firm words at times and ignorance at others have been the play book. But if someone, stemming from their insecurities was say demeaning or verbally abusing another in plain sight would many still remain quite? Just because the platform is digital and one does not see the harm caused, does not mean the harm is any less detrimental. Trolls assume its all cool and this was more than established here.

I'm sure everyone here is aware of a certain challenge that was doing rounds not too long ago. I wouldn't want to name it but the last step of the challenge was death. A little about the curator of that challenge, a 22 year-old who thought he was cleansing the world of biological waste. He believed what he did was right, no matter how harsh the outcome, he deemed himself the judge, jury and judgement. That's how bullies are. He too was an insecure kid who started off with petty bulling in the cyber space. Had someone taken a stand to stop him then, a lot could be saved. None did, who knows maybe they thought he didn't deserve strong words, firm statements or any action to thwart his thoughts. There are innumerable such instances but I'll save us from it.

You'd say Kat didn't say anything so grave or won't do anything so strong. I agree. I hope she finds her peace and stops acting in such a terrible way. I wish her luck and calm. But this has to be curbed at augment. Age, loneliness or issues are not reason enough to pull people down. That behaviour is not acceptable. And minds that can be influenced come at all ages. Standing up against what I saw was wrong, was my way of protecting this forum and the members thereof. But now that I see, its not my burden to bear. This is a forum and people have different views, some polite some downright detrimental, but that's not my lookout anymore.

Having said that, I will still sound my opinion, to which I'm entitled, whenever the need arises for as long as I'm here. I would like to apologise however to those that were genuinely hurt by the exchange of words.

Those that assumed this was a fight, need to please understand what one looks like. This was a rather curt discussion.

Those that felt threatened that this would drive a wedge in the forum, if that managed to make its way to your minds then I'm sorry to say, you assume the foundations of this forum to be too weak.

Those that sent me their rather irate messages via other forms of communication, kindly talk to me here, in a public forum. I will not allow you the comfort that privacy brings. Do not expect a reply.

Those that were in a way understanding my perspective and listing what I did for this place. Thank you, I'm not sure how many appreciate that but you guys did. I did what I did for this place cause that's who I am. If something makes its place in my heart, I do everything in my power to protect it.

Those that know me in the slightest bit, know that someone's opinion about me makes no difference to me. If I have a cause I support, even if I'm alone, threatened, crucified I will stick with it. Changing my opinion with tide is absolutely not me.

I read fair requests to be magnanimous to let the issue be. I'm only human and so I let go of a lot but one premise needed to see the light of day, as seen above. I do not expect anyone to understand this, given that a lot of clarity is needed to get this. Prejudices need to be forgone. Not really something most get and not everyone needs to either. To each his own.

To end I'd like to highlight, this was not a fight. This was not done to malign anyone. This was very much necessary not that I expect anyone to agree. And before anyone jumps the gun and says why start this again when it was taken care of? It wasn't put to the dust until now, but now it is.

If anyone still harbours feelings of dislike against me, you're not the first and will definitely not be the last. I however don't hold grudges. So no matter what has been said, I have put it behind me. Any further discussion on this topic, will not be entertained by me. And someone mentioned about PMing, well I won't do that either for just this morning someone I very much respect here told me, people only see that which their perceptions allow, don't give explanations to anyone that is not willing to comprehend. This is me taking that advice.

This topic needed to be buried, consider this a burial. sic.

Oh and group hug Anu?

Sure! I'm game!

One person may be offended by this post

but that person should be

neither Zoya, nor Deepti.

There's one point to be noted from Deepti's answers,

that Kat is a kid.

Immature, yes, that also.

Lonely, perhaps.

Now, let me share with you two sad, true stories from my life.

One is recent.

A girl of twelve/thirteen committed suicide in my area approximately two weeks ago.

(Now, I won't disclose my location for anonymity's sake.)

The girl was the brightest student

but lacked an active social life,

lacked friends,

was lonely and depressed.

She had access to internet through her phone and computer without

any guidance. While the parents thought she'd been using the internet and her gadgets

for educational purposes and was rather happy that she was a quiete creature instead

of being outgoing and making troubles, she was here getting trapped inside

the GAME. The game Zoya was talking about.

It ultimately resulted her in hanging herself to the fan of her bedroom.

Now her gadgets are taken by the FBI.

Now, the second story. Which is about my cousin.

My uncle gave her phone while she was four years old.

She was a very... how can I say it... a very energetic kid. But after getting the phone,

that changed. Now she was seen sitting with her phone in the corners of home, playing games all time and doing God knows what.

Her parents were happy, that she was being calm now and they can finally have some peace.

I said against it and I was called irrational time and time again, until I stopped.

The next year, my cousin got her first eye glasses in the age of five.

Two years later my grandmother caught her watching po*n in her new tab.

Finally they understood.

So, my point is, if Kat is being a lonely kid.

But then I my prayer is for his parent to finally notice

what is happening to their kid.

For God's sake, remove that phone from his hand. Put childlock

in the computer. Make him go outside, teach him how to behave,

and I can give the guarantee that he would have at least one or two friends

to call his own. Play, not mobile or video games, but out at the field and in the dust.

Learn, learn good things, educate yourself.

Because his being like this is his not being well.

Just like millions of kids out there of this generation.

I wish you all get well, as soon as possible.
