The Best Cyprus Community

Debating the issue, or goading the opponents?

How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

Debating the issue, or goading the opponents?

Postby utu » Wed Oct 17, 2007 12:12 am

I've just had a look at the latest forum entries on the ATCA forum, and I see that Get Real is making another splash. However, it seems less about debating the issue and more about trying to get a rise out of the other members of that forum.

Get Real - like others there and here - is entitled to air his opinions, but when it comes to the Cyprus issue, it isn't so much what one says as how it is said that defines what is colloquially called 'the moral high ground'. Get Real - and others on both sides on this argument - may need to be aware of this. It might gain better dividends.

The ATCA admin literally PRAYS to all the Gods at night in hope that I’ll return with another article to keep his members preoccupied otherwise he faces total collapse. Why do you think they never ban me? Because I’m the only bloody interesting thing they’ve got! Have a look at the popularity of my articles there and compare with others…

I’m doing the TC community a BIG service so a “thank you” would be nice!

I think that they are more interested in you reinforcing their views on how the GCs think, so the service you are providing is probably detrimental to your own.......errrr! Thank you :?

I think Get Real! should be cloned so that when he is on that other forum, there is still a copy of GR! to post in the cyprus-forum. :D

You're welcome!

Btw, for your info my influence there has started to show as I saw two TCs arguing the other day about their Turkishness and one of them quoting the Treaty of Lausanne to prove that they officially signed their Turkishness away.... guess who opened their eyes to that? :lol:

Get Real, it just seems like you relish a direct, devil-may-care, head-on attack with your ATCA posts. That approach may be the most straightforward, but is it the best? There is an addage I read once: "If you go out looking for enemies, you will find only enemies".
