We have argued back and forth but your scarcastic verging on venomous attacks have no value in my book so I took the decision not to respond to your posts as their contents are still worthless drivel and a total waste of time as it always produces no result. There is a big difference we live the TRNC everyday, you dont and never will.
So whats the point of discussing anything with you better to agree to differ and leave it at that.
And I respect your decision for not wanting to respond to my posts.
But on the subject of what I write that is a total wasted on you and all the other PARTITIONIST, is because it does not support your aims. This is totally different than me NOT supporting my TC community. For you it is "
either you are with us, or you are against us". Sorry, but I'm for a Cyprus and for all Cypriots and if that does not sit well with you, then you are the one with the issue and not me.
I criticize issues TC's posts that are designed to be inflammatory. Posts that contain half truths to extreme exaggerations do not sit well with me no matter who says it. These careless acts makes all TC's look bad. If I pick on the TC's, is because I want to keep us honest in what we say and not allow others to prove us wrong, which then they can say, "you see, all Turks are liars". We have enough negatives as it is and the fact the "TRNC" does not have a recognition, should speak volumes to you, as to why not. Well, I resent that, as many TC's do as well. When the Partitionist use every method to score political points with the GC's, I too get offended, as a Cypriot. Whether you like it or not, we are all Cypriots from the island, and by having drawn a line of division, does not take away us all being Cypriots. I know you will argue against this, but this is were we get into a lot of trouble and do not see each others points. When Piratis talks about "Pillars of Democracy" and I support that for all Cypriots, then I get accused of taking the side of the GC's. Shouldn't we all be supporting what Piratis is offering.??
Yes I can be very sarcastic which is mostly mixed in with humour at the expense of the other person. When it's done to me mostly by Zan, I just laugh it off. I know others can't deal with such sarcasm. It adds "colour" to the posts without harm done. I guess it is all a matter of each persons tolerance level.
Since I have been on the forum, I have never criticize Bananiot in what he says about his own community. Many times I have supported him, when he was attacked by his people. I accept what he writes as being accurate to the best of his knowledge. If I was so anti TC and pro GC, don't you think I would also attack him in what he writes, which some see it as anti GC. The answer is NO, because I appreciate the fact, that he knows his own people better than me. Bananiot has never criticized me either for my comments, regarding picking on some TC's posts. Perhaps he also shows respect to me, that I know my own people better than he, and allows me that courtesy. So at the end, I do what Bananiot does, but you love him and dislike me for doing the same thing. Can you figure out what is wrong with this picture by any chance.
By the way, I do not see very much communication between the TC's on this forum, when it comes to the Cyprus issue. All I see is a lot of "high fives" and a "pat on the butt" congratulations when a TC scores a political point against the GC's, with some jumping "up and down with their pom - poms" as cheer leaders. Most of the time, you all argue with the GC's and that's it. No wonder Zan responds to my posts, or else he would become "brain dead" from boredom. At least I challenge you guys in what you write. If it's a lot of BS, I'll let you know, and if it's not, I usually do not say anything, since there are plenty "Pom- Pom cheer leaders" already doing the "splits" in the air.
I do not need reassurances from the TC's in what I say by responding to my posts. Let them respond to yours and others. I don't take it personally. Perhaps at times they can't respond, to defend their position in what I criticize them on. Point is, nothing said is meant to be personal. The fact that those who live in the "TRNC" who does not agree with my posts, may well be, is because they do live in the "TRNC". I'm sure I do not need to explain what that means..
