I agree with deleting them, then they would learn not use personal abuse or sexual perverted posts.

Boomerang and B25, please take note: TRNC supporters are NOT all ethnic cleansers, and New Zealanders are NOT "dumbfucks" either. If you have a problem with what I have to post on this forum, all you have to do is one of two things: ignore it, or debate it in what is quaintly called "a dispassionate manner". Resorting to accusatory and abusive rhetoric shows me that you are low-educated, narrow-minded, and incapable of debate. I have much more respect for Oracle's and GR's postings than yours and that's saying something! When you can find the time to read properly what I'm trying to say, then debating it soberly, then perhaps I'll start taking you seriously, like Kikapu and Malapapa. Until then, kindly keep your filthy obscenities to yourselves.


comical expat how about answering posts rather than running away when the going gets tough huh?...

you wanna see examples of your bitch like runway mentality?...let me know coz the forum is littered with your bitch like runaway mentality supporting etbnic cleansing at the expense of 170,000 odd people...

till such time yes you are a dumbfuck...brought upon yourself with your limited one track mind...enough said...

Kikapu wrote:Expat, you are once again asking infantile questions that reflects your inferior knowledge of the Cyprus problems. Stop looking at things in a one dimensional way to try and find the reasons as to what happened in Cyprus so that you can make justifications to satisfy your own prejudice for wanting Cyprus permanently partitioned. If one partner in a marriage wants out of being married, one can use million ways to get out of that marriage, so please, don't say things like "Also, what did the TC's have to gain by leaving the government? ", specially when we have a partition today.? Can you not connect the dots.?? Please use some thinking before you write, because everything is not Black and White or what you may have been told by Denktash. It makes you look rather very silly and no doubt you invite a lot of abuse towards yourself from others.


R. Denktas had told me that "to see Cyprus in a black and white situation is really the only way to see it clearly. Shades of Grey convolute the real issue" - he continued to say - "which is that Turkish Cypriots were not welcome in Cyprus by Greek Cypriots and we deserve no less to live here. Anything else is immaterial". How can I argue with that, Kikapu?
