I had thought many years ago that online fora could be a means for ordinary GC and TC to reconcile their differences directly as indivduals. I tried here and then thought that the lack moderation and the way that every discussion descended into childish personal abuse was the limiting factor, and thus helped with others in the creation of an alternative site that sought discussion without personal attack. Having tried that experiment I have now come to the conclusion that little constructive is actually gained from fora like this, in terms of reconciling GC and TC and their perspectives. Not totaly useless, I meet some interesting and nice people, and you as well GR
but ultimately I have concluded that online fora such as these can only have a very limited sucsess if the objective is reconciling differences rather than hardening and reinforcing them.
I do have some vague plans for new websites. I am thinking maybe
www.cyprus-abuse-forum.com
specificaly designed for cypriots and others to hurl insults and absue at each other. Posts containg reason, logic well made argument or heaven foprbid concilliation in any form will of course be instantly deleted and the poster unfairly abused by the mods / admins of the forum who will also incite others to jump in too. I think it may have a great future. I will keep you informed GR if I ever get it going as I think you could become a even bigger star there than you think you are here.
My other websites I am thinking of setting up are the social networking site for heavy drinkers and drug users
www.offyourfacebook.com
And the social networking site for convicted criminals
www.convictsreunited.com
Planning a bank job, but have lost touch with that getway driver you met during a 6 stretch in broadmore back in 78 ? Just log onto convictsreunited and track em down.
