| Internet in Saudi is pitiful at best regardless with who you go with. But I'm sure nomad_soul and scot47 will be glad to criticise this comment with their almighty experience. |

So what you're saying is, because I only had a short (and highly negative) experience of KSA, my opinions are completely invalid because other people have more experience than I do?

Nope, I think anyone's experience, short or long, negative or positive - in Saudi can be of value to those who've never experienced it.
but I think your comment about " . . . their almighty experience." shows a certain defensiveness, and, in addition, would appear to devalue experience.
Regards,
John |

And I guess having my opinions criticised isn't devaluing in any way then? |

Dear Gamajorba,
I would say that it's a rare forum or even thread where someone's opinions aren't criticized.
Are they being criticized for being untruthful - I doubt that. Is it OK to criticize others but consider oneself inviolate?
Do you regard disagreement as being "criticism?"
If you do, I guess you're criticizing my posts - but I don't mind. We're talking mainly about personal experiences and opinions here. Naturally, there's going to be disagreement and/or criticism - unless someone believes that her/his experience and opinions are the only valid ones.
Regards,
John |

I'm talking about complete and utter devaluation of one's input. Disagreeing with something is one thing, but to basically say 'you're completely wrong and I am right' is a totally different kettle of fish. A quote from Matilda springs to mind right about now.

This - perfect sum up of what I'm getting at. And also let's not forget baiting responses as well that certain members on here have done... |
