| Re: Meet Our SPNer in Focus - Harbans Singh
Harbans Ji has made some excellent suggestions, which I hope and recommend the administrators look into and act upon. The following ones are particularly close to my heart. Point 1 “It could be clarified that the forum has an open mind on the issues. This will help in removing any misunderstandings on sensitive issues that might frighten away newcomers on the forum." An excellent point to assure newcomers, et al, that the SPN Forum does not necessarily concur with the views expressed by regular, sometimes respected/acknowledged contributors. Some may be hesitant to express their views in awe of in which some SPN’rs may be held. There is also an impression that some members have the support of the administrators and that SPN operates on the support of closely knit group of persons. This may deter others from expressing their views freely - I personally can vouch for having such reservations myself. Point 5. "These days the number of new threads or articles is substantial, with the result that if not much discussion has taken place it goes off screen, and if one has not contributed to the discussion, then it becomes difficult to locate the article after some time. Is it possible to archive all articles date-wise and subject-wise? " Again an excellent suggestion – quality articles, based on good research, quickly go off the screen whist some ‘cheap’ controversial – sometimes unnecessary – articles linger on. One liner contributions may receive more exposure than serious essays on spirituality – I am sorry if this sounds harsh but at least it comes from the heart. Articles based on good research ought to be given more focus and spotlight as opposed to articles which do not necessarily help our quest for spirituality – for example there has recently been so much focus on meat that one may be forgiven for assuming that SPN stands for the Society for the Promotion of Non-vegetarianism.Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/face-to-face/28346-spner-in-focus-harbans-singh.html HumblyReference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=28346 Rajinder Singh ‘Arshi’  |
