The Cypriot, just the thought of that qualifies you as a Turk.


What are you talking about?

That you sound too serious when you use a scenario that the Turks rely on.

You know, for a "liberal" you use a lot of threats aimed at silencing people ... are you sure you are 'comfortable' in a free-speaking forum?

And yes, I am a Cypriot peasant, born and bred, but time will tell if I am "ignorant" ... not you!

All I'm trying to state Oracle is that if Cyprus ever re-unifies with the north, my gut tells me English will be spoken more fluently up there.

Thanks for that.

Sorry. Is this a new Forum rule I wasn't aware of?

Oracle wrote:It's my Cypriot brothers you jeopardize, and I won't have it!


You honestly believe anything I've said on this Forum "jeopardises your Cypriot brothers"?

You're unbelievable.

Some of the things you say are unacceptable, Oracle. Accusing me (and Bill) of being "Turks" of "Turkifying the island" over and over again, because we take a different view to you... I'm sorry. It's unacceptable. Stop it, please.

No, it's the election rights of citizens over other EU members.

No, you are too forum-centred. We were discussing future language scenarios.
