THE UAE COMMUNITY BLOG: Better Example of the UAE Public than the Real Thing! Move Over Ruling Family, SD’s Coming!

This post has been reposted in UAE Community blog after Woke, seemingly took into consideration disapproving comments made by myself & Ahmed. Woke’s now added a nice little notice explaining his case:

I had removed this post earlier as per negative feedbacks from a few people (If 2 can be classied as few) whom I thought were active members and contributors of UAE Community. Good to know that atleast some people do have a sense of humour and awareness of issues in the UAE.

In which, there is a link with a wonderful word of approval from UAE’s Self-Appointed-Blogging-Queen:

Woke: I found the image very funny, and entirely appropriate for UAE community blog. It was a satirical take on a very real issue: the lack of proper accommodation for bachelors here.

(I managed to see it on Bloglines, which archives some stuff that's been deleted).

It greatly disturbs me that people (who may not even be members) are frightening UAE Community members into self-censoring funny and relevant material.

Should anyone ever post anything really inappropriate (eg sexual content, or "royal gossip") we would either fully delete it. For something borderline (eg an entry where a few words were a bit risky/obscene) we would unpublish it and ask them to amend it a bit. But none of this applies to your post.

I would be very happy if you could repost it there.

I’m going to have to tackle this issue in two parts. The first issue concerning the original post, which pretty much equates the UAE’s high-scale marketing campaigns for luxury residences & highly publicized accommodation problems for the common man (two completely separate issues), to the false advertisement of the trash bin that the UAE realtors really have to offer in general. And there’s a pretty picture of a trash bin, incase you want an actual visual of what the UAE realtors really have hidden behind the complete trickery, deceitful, immoral, should-probably-be-illegal, marketing veils they produce.

Not only did I miss any intended humor in this post (I’m assuming it’s that famous British comedy that only they seem to laugh at; like some sort of adolescent inside joke), but I also found the post disrespectful, insulting, misleading, and pretty-much pointless in nature.

Upon opening the comments, I found that Ahmed has similar sentiments to this. Now, let me inform you all that despite implications made by SD, Ahmed is not only a member of the UAE Community, he’s a UAE National. If you fail to see how a post of this nature can be insulting to a UAE National, there is surely something wrong with you; perhaps, it’s your moralistic western upbringing?

I myself am not a member of the UAE Community, but that’s only due to me requesting that I be removed for reasons pretty-much made clear in this incident as well as a few others I’ve seen in the past. I'm also not a national citizen, though I'll bet your ass I've been here longer than most of these bitching expatriates and I will be here long after they all pack up their shit and go back to the hole of a country they abandoned, in order to take advantage of at least ONE of the many things the UAE offers them that they can't get back home, because I happen to have a national son.

The administration of the UAE Community Blog is an anti-UAE, trash promoting, insult to the real UAE Community and society as a whole. And only those of like-mindedness and in absolute agreement to these trash opinions shall have any relevance or respect in the great world of UAE blogging.

I commented on Woke’s post, something along the lines that I agree with Ahmed; this type of post is better left in his personal blog and not the community one, based on the opinionated, insulting nature of it. I’m assuming, after which he deleted the same. I find it amusing that SD should consider sharing my opinion (and even Ahmed's combined with it) an attempt to scare other people from voicing there’s.

BOO! Woke, if I somehow managed to scare you, I apologize, but at the same time I feel obliged to inform you that you my friend are a pussy; in less vulgar words; a wimp, a sissy, a cry-baby.

Now, I would like to believe that the purpose of the UAE community blog is more than just trash talking the UAE, while pointing out how horrible this place is and promoting one hate blog after another and I’d like see it as a place for general information as given by real people, with real stories; say a mini reflection of all that the UAE has to offer, I really would. But that’s getting harder and harder to do.

You see, between my personal experience as linked above, the promotion of hate blogs and complete disregard for the opinions of UAE Nationals as shown here, the shameless biases regarding who should be allowed to cross-post their personal blogs with jokes or humor(?) & how often, in light of Woke’s latest post (one of many he’s posted that link back to his blog for no obvious purpose other than self-promotion) and the approval by SD in contradiction to this policy(?) she made just a short while back concerning frequency of such posts and the recent revamp of posting and commenting regulations as shown here, I’m beginning to think the UAE Community Queen should have in fact created her court of humble worshipers & followers someplace in China, sometime prior to the fall of the Great Wall, where she’d really get the fame and reputation she deserves.

But then, that’s just me. What do my opinions matter? I’m not an active member of the UAE Community, nor can I comment on any of the posts now, (if you're not a blog member neither can you; so all you interested tourists or just geographically curious from abroad, needn't attempt asking questions there). I should just shut the fuck* up, shouldn’t I?

*You all didn’t actually think I’d get through this complete rant, without using my favorite word at least once, did you?

HAIL SD & THE UAE COMMUNITY! A perfect reflection of the only REAL problem the UAE society faces that isn't in the process of rectification by government officials.
