How can we solve it? (keep it civilized)

All must be free to get across their view in any way they see fit. Sometimes that means a sensible debate but sometimes it means a sinple trashy thread which let's people get things off their chest simply.

There's no right or wrong in free expression.

(er... all the above within the rules of the forum)



I agree with my learned friend from Kyrenia. However its when there is no choice given to the rest of the debaters that I mind.

A thread is started with a proper argument and facts to back it up...give it 3 secs and its gone back to trashtalk. I'm all for getting things off our chest (which is why I have an APOEL season ticket) but I also believe that some threads should be respected in order for a proper debate to take place.


We use to have detailed technical discussions about the Cyprus Problem. This has all gone down by the wayside. Respectable TC contributors have now disappeared out of embarrassment for the sudden influx of TC lunatics on CF such as Y-Jocks and Insane. :(

Fun threads still have their place though. We all need to chill sometimes with a bit of fun within the General section.

Oracle and Rafaella had to endure heaps of these posts...just ask them...dirty little pigs...


Too many seem unable to deliver jokes, just insults and profanities, and it stifles productive interaction. I can give as good as I get, and so too can Rafaella ( :lol: ), but it's not about exchanging crude blows to equalise the playing field. So best avoid sexist remarks and then more women would join in.


gender should not be an issue...these chauvanists like to lean on women...frightening to think what they do in real life...or maybe acting tough on the internet making up from what they get at home...in anycase sexual harassment should not be allowed...

Actually I have a gripe about CopperLine.

Too often he just comes in after a couple of debaters get stuck into covering the nitty gritty, and he offers nothing by way of debate, just a posting of "Bigot" and nit-picking about the title or use of a word.

He has aborted a number of lines between debaters just through sheer frustration of arguing over nothing.

You are having a laugh aren't you. The female posters on this site are more than capable of standing up for themselves, some of us are too scared to take them on, they have seen off more "enemy" posters than I care to mention. The Cyprus National Guard would have kicked Turkey off the island years ago if its ranks comprised these Amazons.

Some threads like the those you mention are indeed trash threads in my opinion, but other members may disagree with this. Each to their own I guess..

Some General topics are also quite interesting and others are just good fun.
