Jonathan is a public office holder and once you bring yourself to run for a Public office you are open to all sorts of attack like it happens in every country in the world. Even Obama is called the Antichrist by some Americans

You cant force your own limited knowledge of politics on people here.

Politics is much more complicated than organizing Mr and Miss Nairaland you are well versed in

If Jonathan behaves like a Retardd then he deserves to be called a Retardeen just like Yar Adua was called Yar Adull and Baba go slow and no one came up in arms and Tinubu till today is called Tinubu

sexkillz: So because I'm against insulting public office holders on Nairaland, my knowledge of politics is limited? I can see how great your knowledge is, since all you do is insult a sitting president from the comfort of your home. There is something called constructive criticism, but I doubt that with all the knowledge in politics you have, you still do not have the knowledge of criticising constructively, so all you do is insult.

Before you insult someone in a position you are not, for taking an action you do not like, you suggest a better way it would have been done. But I guess it's easier to be insulting and uncouth, than to reason and be civil.

You call him a retardeen, but you report anyone who quotes your retardeen comments and calls you a mumu. How nice.

If I was to follow your analogy, oh great and knowledgeable one, shouldn't you as well be ready to endure insults from others since you have publicly made yourself the chief whip of public office holders on Nairaland? Why are you so quick to report them? How long do you really think this back and forth nonsense would go on?

Ngwakwe: Wonders shall never end, someone just wrote: "Obama is better than uncle Joe "

sexkillz: A public figure whose action and reactions affects everyone should be criticized constructively. Say what he did wrong, suggest a better way to do it and do not insult him. You claim it's a public forum, because it's on the internet and you are anonymous, right?

Can you go to the public right now, and call the president a retardeen?

Afam4eva: ^^ DONE!

Demdem:

Stick to enforcing the rules as stated by ur boss and don't let ur emotions get an hold of u.
Nothing is wrong if I call a retardeen by his name and its ur duty as a mod to protect me from vampires and e-cockroaches who will like to attack me becos of this. If this is too dificult for u to do, kindly resign.

dare2think:

What may be 'constructive criticism' to some is insult to others. Which yardstick do we use in deciding what is constructive or not?

Yours?

sexkillz: Pray tell, how constructive is calling him a retardeen?

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm neutral to politics, and I've never voted anyone in my life so this isn't out of misplaced emotions but out of what is right. You call him a retardeen, someone quotes you and calls you dumb. Why on earth should you pick offence? They were both insults!

dayokanu:

You are employed to enforce Nairaland rules and not to make yours.

Nairaland rules says you can not insult a member(Rule 2) but does not say you can insult a public office holder.

Its clear English I am sure any Nursery pupil can understand.

if you have a problem with the forum rules discuss it with your bosses and seek clarification.

Calling Jonathan a retardeen doesnt flout forum rules.

A Poster insulting me flouts forum rules

Its as simple as A B C

Is retardeen a NLer?
What does the rule says? Stick to the rules young man.

sexkillz: Would someone insult you if you do not insult the president?

slimghost:

I think people should be banned for using that word "retardeen" to address the president. IMO

Katsumoto:

Its not your role to use your office to decide what is uncouth and what isn't. As long as rules are not broken, then you shouldn't make it an issue. Besides, not every stakeholder is able to articulate his grievances in a manner that you wouldn't find uncouth. Should that stop them from airing their grievances? In any case, you can't argue that GEJ or his supporters are capable of understanding and receiving constructive criticisms. Nothing in his or their actions so far demonstrates this ability. Have you tried giving constructive criticism to an area boy? How receptive do you think he would be?

Obama faces far more insults despite the fact that he is a more competent administrator than GEJ. He is wise enough to know that he can't be liked by everyone and the US civil service isn't responding to every insult on the Internet except those that are considered threatening.

Let this issue rest - stakeholders have the right to insult anyone who puts himself/herself forward for leadership. That is the rule. If GEJ is not ready for insults, then he should resign. If he wants lesser insults, as there will always be insults, then he should start performing. Resistance to his leadership will reduce with better administration on his part. Would it matter if 100 people out of 160 million were insulting GEJ? NO

sexkillz: The rules say "do not deliberately provoke". Did you miss that?

sexkillz: The rules also say do not provoke a Nairaland member(rule 2), so what gives? The president is not a member of Nairaland but insulting him provokes the moral senses of others. Does it not?

Is it lack of what to say that makes you resort to calling him names on Nairaland because this is the only place you can insult a sitting president and walk away?

sexkillz: Would someone insult you if you do not insult the president?
