<b>Either Mouthshut gives up this dictator-like attitude soon enough, and treat all members equally, or well, simply do without decent members. For fear of suffocation from hypocrisy and double-standards, I am calling it all quits until the authorities give the respect and dignity back to where its due. Faisal and Aarti, I feel thoroughly disappointed and disgusted by the attitude you and your team has taken. Was this the endeavour with which MS was created? Looks like its time we members start devoting ourselves to sites, that besides being better designed, have a keener, more respectful attitude towards their members. Gosh! Is this the same site in praise of which I wasted one whole review of mine?</b> . <b>Politics and Mouthshut go hand in hand. And there's no better way to put this in the way the so-called ''authorities'' here have disabled the account of a prolific writer like Suyog [without a professional warning], on an argument so trivial, it might give you people some laughs if I pasted it here. But of course, the second party involved in the squibble (Ms. Amrita--the ''esteemed'' Star Writer) has come out absolutely unblemished. So for all those who think they can actually argue with some of the ''senior'' members here [who are, as proven, much involved with the MS authorities], kindly be prepared to be slapped with a ''Member Flagged'' stamp. So much so for freedom of expression. For a site that thrives on its community, such open show of disrespect for its members who have written and interacted solely to help others for years, there's little reason why someone like me should start writing here again.

It only took some catching up with your reviews for me to realise why I am still on MS LOL Nice review, though I never thought SRK's role in HTHS was meant to be clownish.
