Forumhub is such an interesting place.I enjoy being here and has learnt a lot.

Though there are times of pain and pitfalls, it reminds me of the spirit of democracy and freedom.

The other name for FH is freedom.

There are so many interesting personalities around, each a legend.

Aruvaal(enna perunga ithu!)

fridge(cool,cool tamil girl who is Barathi kanda puthumai pen from across the six seas!!)

Karuvaayan(karu nakkunnu kelvi pattirukkiren..for the first time i am hearing black mouthed person).He seems to have a lot of info stored up in his sleeve which he 'eduthu uduing' at times when he gets irritated.

Shakti..the all wise female next to our Sugrutha(resident Indira Gandhi..hehe) and Fridge(wiser in maters relating to the heart;) ).

Skan - the mysterious sweet guy from canada (or from SL?) who brightens up the threads in which he participates, who speaks up a Tamil with lot of assistance(!) from persons known only to him.

Mr.M, the nice person who gets irritated everytime I post a post addressed to him or to others mentioning his name:-))

Santa claus - the all time cool guy who intervenes to tell the harsh truths in between.

P.N.Kumar - a person i used admire...who disappeared not wanting to participate in the fights here.

Rev.Immanuel - a spin philosopher who spins a new theory everytime he comes to the nadar thread. But a nice person who often is arsenic poisoned by close friends in the vicinity and yet lives ....

Nisala, the resident Teravadic advocate who jumps everytime SL or TERavadic Monks are mentioned here...

MV who is the best opponent of Nisala who uses the choicest of abuses and titles to persons:)

karthik, the disappered wiz-kid of FH...

Srini the saintly person who loves Siddarth(heehe) and siddarth is akin to a Vice chancellor (or REctor) who liberally awards Doctorates to persons who irritate him(i was awarded very late!!).

Saradha who came as thendral and used to make thendralish posts(sorry copyrights to resident smiley)....

The smiley who disappeared making the smiles disappear from our faces:(

Sekahar who matches the wit of fridge with equal ferocity..love master;)

many more......its surely an interesting place

  I have come across organisations for Skeptics,Secularists and other such free thinkers. My question is that if they're free thinkers then why should they be institutionalized. Free thinkers are nothing but basically free thinkers, they are not tied down to any doctrine and can inculcate dogmas from various religions, if they want to, this is what I think and I have this argument with most people because they say free thinking is a western concept.I disagree because pluralistic and secularistic beliefs exist eveywhere in Eastern religions, to literature , to philosophy, the west just does a better job when it comes to practising free thinking and adopting it. There have been Indian poets that have written poems in favour and praise of unconventional thinkers and free thinkers. Why do u think the south-asian coummunity as a whole is not open to the concept of free thinking? Does anyone care to provide insights into this. I am not Tamilian, but I am on this forum because I am looking for information from Intelligent people.

  Free thinking is the gateway to mental freedom ... with possibilities of limitless, unexplored frontiers.
  
  Free thinkers act as mutations, with immense possibilities of profound changes and progresses.
  
  A good foundation, wide knowledge, unprejudiced thinking, acceptance of new ideas, welcoming of opposing views,love towards all beings etc are useful requirements.
  
  Why need for some ... 'organisations' ... of freethinkers?
  Birds of the same feather flock together.
  Freedom inside a free society is really soul-fulfilling.
  Kindred feelings and souls enhance further evolution.
  
  Free thinking is not necessarily a western concept.
  IT IS UNIVERSAL.
  
  "South-asian coummunity as a whole is not open to the concept of free thinking?"
  I disagree.
  Every individual hindu is a free thinker, with independent beliefs.
  
  Every religious person in India wishes for progressive reforms in his religion, which is possible only when free thinking intellectuals are given proper encouragement and they are selected for positions of power.

  I have already added TN and akil to the list. I should add pavalamani prakasam also to this list.
  
  And....apart from the fight i have with roshan, she is one of the wonderful additions to this forum. I am getting regular feedback of her writings in ulagam enbathu ethanai peru thread .....show that she is a great person.
  
  Again, apart from the ugly fights we have with neo, his write ups on Tamil poetry is also very good.
