its unfortunate to see such threads on forum regarding such painful events.
though i like to invite attention of members towards some issues.
1) forum is made out with excellent efforts and performing better than expected by anything. BUT sometimes we see few members attack the members for no issue as "authority of rules" without contributing a single useful reply to the query. in the middle of convo mudswapping appears which is not at all welcome.
2) if one or more person try to resolve the issue with their experience / practical knowlege, he is challanged by a fortnight member without any logic,
3) rules and acts are made by some person(s), and handled / executed by diff persons ( machinery) where interpretations change at certain time, by executor, and lots of appeals / supreme court cases get added to the relevent rules / acts, however at end the correct interpretation appears and things go on. but it does not mean that rules are made wrong or interpretation is made wrong, for these things we have superior authorities to appeal and get relief with their genuine grounds, and get relief.
4) a common concept has been seen that some tax payers ( either direct taxes or indirect taxes) have mindset for evesion, and they search forum for leak / loopholes to stand their "mistakes" ( i have not mentioning that they are evaders in real, untill they are proved by departmental proceedings), by forum members with illogical grounds, by posting the data incomplete and twising the facts. on a first view when somebody replies as per the interpretations found in the query, he gets attacked by some to proove the things as per rule, at the end when the query poster appears- the query get changed itself.
Ex- can anybody set off input credit of service tax ( posted as ST) towards vat liability..........dozens of such posts are there in forum, which are baseless.
5) I have seen and studied the replies of "featured members" who neither try to reply direct, nor they argue on the replies, but they put the reply in gross format,
We can realize that every member has spent his valuable time in forum to help each other, and keep the forum useful, meantime it happens everywhere that when any person get popularity for his concepts, hundreds of enemies he makes on way.
However here we belive that most of members are mature, educated, and have understanding, and they dont have to bother for such critic people, who know only to point their fingers on others, without knowing the self.
Request all to keep the pace intact, help the needy, and ignore the critics, without getting hurt,
Get united, you are future of india, dont show your back to anybody,
