Salaam Rifat, Well, I know that feeling of being shunned or hated even by your close friends and families. When they think you are "different" or "mad" ;D If you feel the forum's situation is as you said above -- a few of the members are more concerned with their ego rather than focus on quranic research -- then just ignore these few. It's sad, or maybe frustrating at first, but when you managed to ignore them (not clinging to the unhealthy situation), you'll feel better. That's what I do. but i didn't quit because there is still a lot of enlightened members who has sufficient knowledge of the scripture and knows how to properly keep this forum alive!! I agree. And that is why I like it here. There are a lot of useful stuffs here that can aid my personal studies of the quran. But I have to say this. You are awesome for a teenager. When I was at that age, I was to busy "playing around"... and The God is a very low priority. Keep up the good work Rifat. We need people like you, Waleed, or OpenMind. ;D =adley=
