Flattery & Compliments
Our favorite. Sadly, there isn't much of this.
Criticism
Everybody's a critic. But don't stop. We have been known to incorporate your constructive ideas. For
example we are making a serious effort to have just one or two topics per page, although, as you can
see from the volume of concepts, that's kind of difficult.
Death Threats
We didn't even have anything too controversial up and we started getting death
threats.
We take these threats metaphorically. Here's one I from
some guy named "Chris" (short for somebody we know?) that involves an elaborate drawing
in which some sort of ajabuddha gets decapitated.
Warning, this picture is offensive, especially if you're from Alabama. Anyway, once you get past the
death threat part, consider the metaphor - it is a strong endorsement of iconoclasm and idol-breaking,
very important Muslim traditions. A great reminder to not pass Ajaban off as an idol (But it's a word.
How can a word be an idol?). Or this is what
you beloved users will do to it. Timeless sentiment, really.
Offers to Help
A user named Mehran offers to write "Ajaban for dummies" and then rescinds his offer.
"Thanks for your website address. I checked it
out. I have an offer. If you
want to make your ideas more
marketable, I can help you by writing a
book in a simpler language that every body
understands it. I would suggest we call
it "Ajaban for Dummies!" I am sure you know too that you can't find lots
of smart people among wealthies...
So, if you agree, let me know, so, I start putting
the pieces of these puzzle together and write
the first chapter.
Don't forget this book can bring lots of customers
(rich kind) to your website. Anyhow, good luck with your smart ideas.
Note: I tried to follow up on this email and commission him to write the guide
book to the website, but he says:
Salaam: Khobi?
Valla, I have been busy kind of...working for "chender ghaz" and taking care of bills! And secondly, I was joking about the idea of
writing a book as "Ajaban for Dummies"! I hope you didn't take me seriously on that and I hope you didn't think that
I have even a clue.. about your "Ajaban" philosophies? Hell no! I have no idea what are you talking about in your website!
(Althought, I reviewed it few times! It is nice
though)
Alas.
