What role does the forum play in your life?

I see it as a two / multi - way communication sanctuary for people that need to air their thoughts.

The main recreational alternative, television, is best suited to passive observers.

I don't use it in the same way. I use it as a light relief and chatting with other members. When VW posted he always made me laugh (where are you VW - you're missed!!). It was also useful for me before I moved to Cyprus for questions I had.

I personally prefer not to have heated discussions or be bothered with members that throw insults on a forum. I keep that to having discussions over dinner with friends after a few glasses of wine.

Another useful aspect was the fact that it removed any 'rose tinted spectacles' I may have had very effectively!

You get an idea of what the average people think about issues. I like to help people out if I can but I also like to argue when I don't agree with something I think it is better to say some things in the forum than in person because they stick and others can later find what you said by searching online.

I have viewed quite a few forums, but nothing like our own Cyprus Forum. I have met quite a few (virtual) forumers representing a very wide spectrum of ideas re: the Cypprob. I have read all ideas for a solution with interest. I have followed all insults with laughter/ humour. My conclusion of these writings are that we are passionate people who love our island, albeit a bit too selfishly. The underlying tone is that we have all suffered and our joint aim is to welcome an everlasting peace.

My favorite topics on the forum are 'Cultural' items where life in Cyprus is discussed, past and present. This eventually leads on to the Food section, which I 'HATE'. Especially when Kafenes and Halil begin posting. It is not easy living in Gurbet.

The repetitiveness of some arguments, although benefit new members nevertheless end up giving me a head ache. With my HPB I find it necessary to take a brake from all. It is only then that I realise how much I miss the forum and all contributers who I consider as friends.

Is there a term 'Forumolic' (is there another word?). Well something like that will be me.

Regards

Deniz

Well I wasn't suggesting that "heated" would be the only outcome of participation . . .

But on the other hand, peeling back the layers of thoughts, there are some deeply buried ones that are not for the dinner table, no matter the quantity of wine.

Deniz, as you have realised, it's been a while since I mentioned food on the forum. I have got the message. The last time I cooked was for Birs visit. We ate very well and drunk too much, red wine, ouzo and finished a bottle of zivania and at midnight Bir was playing the tambourlek and myself on the piano. Good thing Kifeas managed to persuaded us to stop to avoid a visit from the police. Needless to say I spent the whole of the next day in bed with a giant hangover.
I realised I enjoyed meeting forum members in the flesh as they seem to be completely different to what I think they are.

Sounds good! I can play the tambourlek too if only people would stick around long enough to listen...

Kafenes my friend, there you go again. I will notify the ECHR about your torturous posts. Ofcourse you are right about friends. We all have good in us.

Enjoy and Regards

Phoenix you appear to have more deep and complex issues that naturally mean a lot to you. I (fortunately for me) have been protected from such unhappy experiences that many members have had on this forum. I'm not saying I don't have problems, everyone does but they pale into insignificance.

The last 'heated' discussion I had was with you and you really p**d me off!

I'm getting out of here. I feel a tempest brewing. No scratching and pulling of hair girls.
