I have a new found respect for this guy... As much as I wanted to beat his ass to a pulp a couple of weeks ago, I think I've finally realized that his knowledge is not from websites like wikipedia and google, but from his own research and hard work. It seems like he's educated on just about everything. To show respect for his knowledge, I will cease fire and try to learn from him instead... But Toronto still sucks in every sport, I don't care how he twists it... In the last couple of weeks you've gone from being a hater to actually blending in with the crowd while still holding on to your views, much respect to you brother...

i cant agree with ya more bro ... if anyone has a had a senseless grudge with summy its me ... from my disrespectful summy di boli to recent events, i too have to say ive gained a new found respect for him .. i hope to put everything in the past and continue to dwell upon his new insight ... good and necessary post bud 
Dude your boli was still the funniest thread ever created on a bhangra forum... I havent seen anything that could match it... Looking back on it, I think Summy should just blow it off and laugh along with everyone else... I bet Summy thinks it's funny, but he wont admit it...

i disagree. although summy has made some very valid points, i still think he suffers from psychologically abnormal egotism which tends to blind him during the course of a debate.
in some of his pseudo-intellectual posts, it is clear that he is not above spewing half-truths and patronizing those with whom he disagrees with in an attempt to strengthen his argument.
he kind of reminds me of bill o'reilly.

respect to you Vick for posting this, it takes guts for someone to admit they were wrong. Ya I really wanted Summy to leave at first too, but I take that back now. Instead of watching news nowadays I just come on here and reads his posts lol. Summy, the only one thing I think you need to work on is what ranjit mentioned....not to patronize those who disagree with you. Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree. But I do think you have improved on this compared to your days on POL.

Vick brother, I truly appreciate what you wrote. It takes a big man to say what you said, especially after we have gone at it before, so I respect that greatly. There is no hard feelings with me and you. Hey man, I always like talking sports and other topics with someone like knows what they are talking about, and there is nothing wrong with getting riled up once and a while... I appreciate your post brother. Except for the Toronto sports thing haha, but im sure we will have much more discussions about that. BUt once again thanks alot, and i am sure one day we will have a good laugh over the way we beat each other up.
Navkarn, you too man. I sent you a pm saying that I hope there are no hard feelings and I mean it. I said the second I heard summy di boli, that it was funny. After talking to you, I saw it less as an attack and more as something playful. So we are all good.
Jaidep, I appreciate everyone's comments. I think that I never thought that I was better than anyone, just that I wanted people to gain an opinion and defend their own views. If that came at a personal expense, I was willing to take that.
Ranjit and Ashveer, you are two people that I am sure will come around. But Ranjit from the second we started posting, you have insulted me, time and time again. Claiming I am this and that, and at posts not even directed at you, you would choose to insult me for no good reason. That is why I dont value your feelings, because you have shown that you dont value mine. So, as long as you choose to be sarcastic and demeaning towards me, you'll get the same treatment towards you.
I have gotten along with a long of people on the site, once we initate mutal respect, but people like to judge me before they actually engage in a conversation with me, which doesnt rub me the right way.
I have changed my approach because I have in part changed my attitude towards you guys. I have gone from LET ME CHANGE THE WORLD, to uhh, let's see what happens. I think the latter is better for my sanity and everyone else's as well.
I appreciate having a forum where we can discuss issues and share knowledge. Growing up in India, I had a life set out for me. I was told no matter how educated I got, I had to take care of the family buisness. With a lot of fighting, I left my country to stay with a family I never met and evetually got to the point to appreciate education and its power. Now that I am able to discuss things with you guys with moderators ensuring respect, I feel honoured that people actually listen to what I have to say. I have come a far way, and sometimes discussing issues with you guys make me realize how lucky I am to have this operrtunity to express my opinions.
Cheers guys.

I think this site has changed the way we all speak towards and respect each other.
But I will say, Summy has a lot of knowledge. Sometimes I read what he rights and I'm like damn he knows a lot. If BTF was academic source I would quote him.. too bad it isnt lol. We've had our share of arguements aswell on POL, but that site is just a brawl waiting to happen. I've grown to respect his knowledge as well.
I have one request, shorter posts please lol. Thanks
Also, When will we get to put a face with the name?

Agreeed.
For those that do tend to feel offended by some of his posts, namely because they tend to directly call you out...hang tough, don't just sit there and fume about how he has some sort of an ego...in order to be respected, and really win a debate or a discussion, most are a bit authoritative.....There have been tons of occasions where Summy's sources have been questioned and he has gone even further so as to cite them, so don't call them pseudo truths unless you can cite more credible sources that directly contradict what he writes. I have a feeling a couple arguments from now those that don't like him, will begin to change...

taiymur jaan, I was supposed to but conflicts came up, maybe sometime soon brother.
As far as my identity, like batman once said, when my job here is done, I will reveal myself to the world. Everyone wants to know who batman, spiderman and those other guys are, and one day you guys will come to know.
Or you could just come up to toronto and email and we could hang out. Just flash the summy signal, its just a picture of punjab.

India Punjab- I dont adhere to semantical meanings of what it means to be punjabi.
There are a lot of people in pakistan that practice punjabi culture, but not nearly the amount of indians, and the only designation they have for being punjabi is that they live in a place that jinnah said should be called punjab. They dont actually speak punjabi or adhere to punjabi culture in a lot of punjab pakistan
But there are parts that do.

haha Ruby tired to meet me? I wasnt even in Toronto smart guy when he said he wanted to meet me through POL, I said I would meet him in the summer and even though I emailed him probably about 10 times, asking if he wanted to come to dixie gurdwara he sent me an email probably two months later on POL saying apologizing not for getting in contact with me. So dont speak if you dont even know whats going on.
I am going to modify this message for one main reason. If somebody who is intelligent and doesnt evoke anger from me wants to meet, we will do it someday. But Ranjit, I have a feeling I would throw you around like a rag doll if I ever met you. Therefore, Im pretty much done with you as a person. If this was POL I would go back and forth with you, but since a couple of people said to me they have learned a lot more since I have changed my style, I am NOT to compromise that added level of respect, so I wont go back and forth with you until you learn how to talk Ranjit.
