I thank the residents of bay area for providing this email access to
people who can not post to SCI directly. I used to post to SCI when I worked for
BNR in ottawa. However, in my new company rn has not been setup yet and I was
using the account of one of my friends at the University of Montreal to read
the news. Since what I post is sometimes considered controversial, I was
afraid that somebody might send an insulting flame to my friend instead of me
by just replying to the sender. Therefore, I did not post any articles from his
account.

Both Anoosh Hosseini and Noushin Bashir had also started a similar facility.
Unfortunately, I had lost their address and forgot to mention Siamak mention
it in the SCI's FAQ. In fact, had totally forgotten about it. I hope these two
email addresses and the idea will be mentioned in the next faq.

I guess my fear that my friend might receive an offensive email shows how
dangerous SCI is and how much the fundamentalists are trying to intimidate
whoever they disagree with using insults. Almost anybody that disagreed with
hezbolla and dared to discuss about the so called issues called sensitive
issues like Javad, Mahin, Naghmeh and Shahrokh were insulted. Of course,
hezbollahi's score double brownie points when they insult women. Then, other
fundamentalists that were more polite and less aggressive gave their support.
For example Farzin Mokhtarian, praised and complemented Ali Baba for his
contributions even if I never saw himself insulting anybody or engaging in
personal attack. Well, the terms fundamentalism and dogmatic say it all.

I personally beleive this is not all that bad and just reminds us of the
reality that Iranian people face everyday of their lives. Which is a bunch
of braindead incompetents ruling over intelligent people. As it is said in
persian Hokoomateh arAzel va obAsh. It is also a good opportunity for us to
face these people and learn how to deal with them. IRI is enjoying a known
weakness of intelligent people which is their ability to deal with irrational,
violent fundamentalists. Because reason is not a good weapon to confront them.
his tactic was used by Mongols after the invasion of Iran. To destroy the
intelligent people that were starting to penetrate the government and had
caused an attraction to the Iranian culture among the Mongol rulers, they
assigned uneducated and unqualified people to supervise/boss the intelligent,
educated and qualified people and most of them would give up and quit the
government.

At least here, although they threaten people otherwise, they can not resort
to violence like they do in Iran. Hezbollahists remind me of the description
of terminator cyborgs in the movie terminator. You can not reason with them,
they don't feel pity and they don't feel pain. Again, in case of hezbollahis
they can not feel the pain because it belongs to others. I guess thanks to
creatures like the two Satans and Ali Baba and Seyyed. SCI is a better
representation of what is happening in Iran. Of course, they will be thanked
and rewarded with what they deserve which is a Pasgardanie [(C) ?].

Two close this argument, lets see what two of the Khomeini appologist say
about Satans, Ali Baba and Seyyed. Unfortunately, I did not save Farzin's
article.
