if somebody is outside from the group to whom this word was used then he/she may feel bad.

Is it proper to call all members folks, is this an intelectual/educated behaviour of a moderator

Sir, meanings are ok but is it correct to addsd people like this, secondly every one does not know such english, so why cannot we use simple language

[RSKharb]

There is nothing wrong in it. We can call members as folks.

Thanks sir for clearing my doubt, I stand corrected

[DrRajpalSingh]

Friend,

Sir, meanings are ok but is it correct to addsd people like this, secondly every one does not know such english, so why cannot we use simple language

You are right to say that simple words of English may better be used in discussion. But without consulting some good dictionary first you indulged in challenging someone which did not taste good as you had retorted:

:

Is it proper to call all members folks, is this an intelectual/educated behaviour of a moderator

Since the use of word was completely genuine and normally accepted norms of grammar, you must also observe calmness and tolerance before opening an avoidable debate on such trivial issues.

But the matter closses at a happy note as you have admitted :

Thanks sir for clearing my doubt, I stand corrected

Thanks and regards,

[rekhasmriti]

[DrRajpalSingh]

Regarding Jat Land Com policy it has earlier been posted in some other context that :

"In any wise discussion on Jatland it is necessary that the participants should refrain from making personal attack. We should say in favor or against what has been written and not say things about the person. We should refrain from making Personal Attacks, how ever provocative the statement might be.
We should avoid on Jatland the personal abuse or personal attacks which usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to attack his claim or invalidate his argument, but can also involve pointing out factual but apparent character flaws or actions that are irrelevant to the opponent's argument.""

Members are requested to read and act accordingly please so that meaningful and healthy discussions could follow unhindered..

Thanks

[DrRajpalSingh]

Members are requested to post their views on different issues as per para meters set by the administrators of the site in various forums and sub forums and extend help in smooth flow of information/discussion.

[DrRajpalSingh]

It has been observed that some members have, perhaps, inadvertently posted their views on various issues which are not covered under the thread/forum/subforum headings/titles and thus caused avoidable discomfort to smooth flow of discussion.

It is felt that they, before posting their views on the site forums, go through the given link so that this type of hiccups could be avoided.

Hope all would enjoy good discussion now onwards with willing cooperation of the participants.
