Assalamu alaikum all!

Please welcome your new mod Spock!

He doesn't really need "introduction" every body knows him well, but a formal introduction will be great ;-)

WELCOMEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Thank you Captain1 and the admins/directors for this opportunity. Most of you already know me here, Ive been a regular on PA for a long time now, started in my teens.

I am already good friends and acquainted with many of you, so it will be really enjoyable doing this. Those that have had a conflict of thought with me in the past can be assured that it was nothing but a healthy debate. I respect the difference of thought and self-expression.

I will try to focus more on covering more thought provoking political topics here and bringing more people to this forum. Despite the fact that our demographics here are pretty lop sided, we still have a good amount of activity going on in here, and it would be nice to see more and more posters, especially female members and members belonging to other countries, etc. This new responsibility gives me a chance to interact with the board management/directorship with more ease and flexibility. In order to focus on this, we would need all your help and please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything at all that I can do to help you or address your concern.

I thought you were still in your teens...j/k. In any case, congrats. You're buying us all dinner (like Cap did).

Well said Spock...always remember the following saying...

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

(Though these words are regularly attributed to Voltaire, they were first used by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, writing under the pseudonym of Stephen G Tallentyre in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), as a summation of Voltaire's beliefs on freedom of thought and expression.
Another possible source for the quote was proposed by Norbert Guterman, editor of "A Book of French Quotations," who noted a letter to M. le Riche (February 6, 1770) in which Voltaire is quoted as saying: "Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write" ("Monsieur l'abbé, je déteste ce que vous écrivez, mais je donnerai ma vie pour que vous puissiez continuer à écrire"). This remark, however, does not appear in the letter.)

Thank you my friends! Dinner is on me. Murgh Choley and Halwa for dessert sounds more like Pakistan Affairs

I feel at home with you guys here, and really enjoy discussing things with you all. If there is anything I can do for you please do not hesitate to contact me. I am your friend and will do things the way you want them to be done, in accordance to how the rules set.

Remember, if there are things you guys disagree with on PA, as to the way things are done here, I can help you get your point across and I assure you those responsible for the rules committee are fair people you would listen to you, and I will assist you in that.

Congrats Spock...

Spock bhaijan,

Congrats on becoming a mod. As you can see from my posts that I am not an active posters but I love reading and enjoy most of the aruguments/ discussions. Though I disagree with you on few issues like I still think President Musharraf is one of the greatest President of Pakistan. It is sad that our people never honors true heroes but hopefully one day they will realize it and change their acts.

Anyway, Spock bhaijan all the very best.

Adios!

Spock · Nov 25th, 2008, 02:52 PM

Thank you asif, zak, and iReport.

iReport, many thanks for your kind wishes. Secondly, I just wanted to extend an invitation to you to come and start posting here actively with no apprehensions whatsoever, and believe me, I personally guarantee you total freedom of thought and expression here on Pak Affairs. Thanks again

Congratulation Spock.
We spend most of the time on the opposite of arguments but still I think its a pleasure to have you as a fellow member.
I may see a nicer side of you now, just kidding.
