Could we therefore drop it.

Or should we...?

I have a feeling that the attitude-forming part of this forum is much more important than the actual discussions taking place in it.
As far as I am concerned, this forum is a source of invaluable information, both about the problem and, perhaps more importantly, people's attitudes concerning it - and its parameters...
Incidents such as the one recorded in Viewpoint's and Erolz's last few posts are to be expected, in the event of a solution. And, if people can't refrain from making inflammatory remarks when posting messages (keeping in mind the process of posting, which gives people a little more time to think about what they are writing, and possible implications thereof), then we can expect with some degree of certainty that this problem will be amplified in reality.

And, of course, seeing as how any ideas coming out of this forum, such as Alex's, cannedmoose's, and others' suggestions on tackling particular problems, have no formal channels (or any guarantee that they will be considered, for that matter) so as to reach the right eyes or ears, they could prove not but exercises in vanity. That would leave us with what we've gained from interacting with the 'other side' - the other community and our own.

Jimmy, we'll just have to wait for Alex to stand for President... I hereby volunteer as a special advisor!

I would have to agree with the arguments of erol. Viewpoints arguments are more out of ignorance and narrow-mindeness than anything else. The murders that were committed are a criminal act and I'm certainly not gleeful that this has happened and I'm sure the vast majority of GC's aren't either.

My comments are related very closely to GCs remarks about us being theives, living in stolen property and the high degree of venomous insults GCs hurl at the english community in the north, if you cant make the connection then that shows your lack of intelligence and understanding of such a sensative issue as being called a thief in every other thread.
Plus the clear fact that GCs are very materialist, and make excuses for this by saying they have deep rooted feelings for their properties but conveniently forget that being alive and living in peace is more important than any property however deep rooted your feelings maybe.

If you throw a rock into the water expect to get wet.

lack of intelligence

That just about sums you up in my opinion.

These comments are distastefull to me in the same ways viewpoints were. This tradgic event has no political aspect. To use it as an excuse or means of making 'political points' about the Cyprus problem is an insult to the memory of these people and I wish people here would stop doing it. That the person charged with the murder is a Turkish mainland settler is no more an indication that Turkish mainland settlers are 'evil' than a murder comitted by a GC would mean that GC are evil. Can we please just let this discussion (which is totaly off topic in this thread anyway) drop ?

these comments were exactly intended to shut viewpoint up.

I agree with Erol. You often make arrogant and distasteful comments.
