Earlier this evening I came across three posts from Bayrak that H had c&p'd in their entirety. My thoughts were that the Bayrak propaganda machine had gone in to overdrive to get across the Illegal Regime's message that the RoC was to blame for the delays in the talks following the Morphou incident and for the lack of progress in the talks before that. My thoughts were to post that we should label our Halil as a modern day Herr Goebels.
Ok, I found the subject matter offensive, but hey this is CyProb, it comes with the territory, but what I found particularly offensive was that a fellow mwmber could post these tracts of propaganda without adding any further material or words of his own invention.
On this important matter of free expression my view is that it should also be to an extent, Free Self-Expression. So do we express freely when we are expressing not our views but reprinting in full and without further comment the views of others?
We all c&p, some more than others, but my view must be that Halil not only takes it too far by doing so consistently and at practically at every opportunity which I can forgive but I'll say again what I find unforgivable is that there are none of Halil's own views added to these posts.
I think we owe it to one another that when we do c&p we add a few sentences saying in our own words, and I say for instance, why we're posting c&p, whether we agree or disagree with what we've c&pd and why, so that fellow forumers can engage in debate with our own views. (the point of this forum surely?)
Very good post Bill! The point of a forum is for people to post their our views. Not for illegal organization to use it as another propaganda medium. At times the forum looks like it is a Bayrak website!!
What must be said must be said file.
(and as it's Friday night.....what needn't be said but I can't help myself sometimes....
Psst Halil....psst Halil! ....
