I don't have anything further to say about this matter!

[Paphitis]

I am fine mate thanks... how is the family?

Very well thanks mate!

[cyprusgrump]

I don't have anything further to say about this matter!

That was a fairly pointless post then!

[denizaksulu]

Another one bites the dust.

Indeed... all a bit unnecessary really...

Both of you should hang your heads in shame.

Everyone is entitled to some privacy and a little respect and both of you committed a cardinal sin in my book!

Because of your appalling behaviors, we have now lost an excellent CF forumer, full of substance and character, and now we have to endure countless pointless and inane posts from both of you!

Well done!

I bear no malice whatsoever towards Oracle. I hope she knows this. But I hate receiving unsolicited PMs from some foreigner. Who the hell does he think he is? If Oracles needs defending she is well capable of doing it herself. I have nothing to be ashamed of - considering all the attacks TCs have come accross on cf - this pales into insignificance.

Alleged friends showing their true colours.

This was not insignificant and you know it and it had stuff all to do with Oracle. I don't defend her because she is far capable of doing that herself!

Look, have it your way Deniz, because you have gone down in my estimations severely.

You are a shit stirrer, and a gossip!

This matter has been blown out of all perspective; sooner this thread is locked the better.

[Get Real!]

I'm off, asked Admin to deactivate Talisker's account.

Another of my favorite posters gone!

Time to take some action to avoid any further losses methinks...

Deniz and Dogface, you do realize of course that this is going to cost you...

Unkie GR hereby declares Destroy the trolls season officially OPEN!

@ Boomers (how are you mate?)...

Oracle was trolled off the forum by Gasman.

Gasman's entire existence on this forum was to harass and annoy Oracle who did make a conscious effort to avoid and ignore, but the personal attacks against Oracle persisted until she asked to have her account deactivated! Gasman was banned for persistently trolling Oracle.

@ Cyprusgrump

You shouldn't have said anything! It was pointless and wrong!

Paphitis, do you honestly believe that Oracle was "trolled off" by Gasman. She was more than capable of sticking up with herself, as she demonstrated on numerous occasions.

I think you will find that her departure (temporary ?) has more to do with using more than one identity and her persitant racism. Her behaviour, and that of other racists, would not be tolerated were the forum based in, say, the UK. I wonder if the regulatory authority in Cyprus eventually woke up to the harm that such posts did/do to the image of Cyprus.

C'mon Jerry!

Gasman really did spout a lot of nonsense and her posts personally victimised Oracle over a prolonged period. Oracle did try to ignore her, but the personal attacks and slurs were relentless! If Admin did the right thing and cautioned her, then perhaps Oracle will still be here, and we will all be richer for it! Oracle gave the forum colour, humour, and intelligence, and she is no racist! Also, Oracle only utilised 1 ID, but had a couple beforehand and she was more than honest with her forum conduct.

Sorry Jerry, Oracle did no harm to Cyprus whatsoever. Being angry with Turkey for what any reasonable person will deem as very valid cause, is by no means racism!

Now Jerry, CF has lost 2 really great contributors and we will be all the poorer for it.

Yes, Gasman was a big troublemaker here, posted much nonsense and she did relentlessly troll Oracle. She was totally fixated with Oracle as if her only purpose was to get rid of her.

But please, I do not wish to discuss this any further! Just give all concerned some space and a bit of respect, and hopefully in time they will return!

I'm off, asked Admin to deactivate Talisker's account. No point in posting if the trolls always link me to someone else - I am entitled to my own independent views. Oracle also had her account deactivated a few weeks ago, so we are both out of here.
Denizaksulu - your tagline is 'How proud I am that I am a Cypriot'. Perhaps you need to think about how proud Cyprus is of you? You try be all things to all people, but your true self is splattered all over this forum - a nasty, little shit stirrer hiding behind the veneer of sincere and friendly 'victim' of Cyprus' problems.
Cyprusgossip - you are the type of self-satisfied, Daily Mail-reading, expat Englishman I would run a mile to avoid in Cyprus.
My independence on this forum was also threatened by the dreadful troll, Gasman, who thankfully was ultimately banned.
I enjoyed banter, finding out about many aspects of Cyprus, and discussing international events with a few decent forumers - Paphitis, GR!, Nikitas and several others over the last few years - but time now to move on. I even received the accolade of 'plonker' from Miltiades, so I must have done something right!Cheers.T.

A Man's A Man For A' That

1795
Type: Song
Tune: For a' that.

Is there for honest Poverty
That hings his head, an' a' that;
The coward slave-we pass him by,
We dare be poor for a' that!
For a' that, an' a' that.
Our toils obscure an' a' that,
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The Man's the gowd for a' that.

What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an' a that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
A Man's a Man for a' that:
For a' that, and a' that,
Their tinsel show, an' a' that;
The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,
Is king o' men for a' that.

Ye see yon birkie, ca'd a lord,
Wha struts, an' stares, an' a' that;
Tho' hundreds worship at his word,
He's but a coof for a' that:
For a' that, an' a' that,
His ribband, star, an' a' that:
The man o' independent mind
He looks an' laughs at a' that.

A prince can mak a belted knight,
A marquis, duke, an' a' that;
But an honest man's abon his might,
Gude faith, he maunna fa' that!
For a' that, an' a' that,
Their dignities an' a' that;
The pith o' sense, an' pride o' worth,
Are higher rank than a' that.

Then let us pray that come it may,
(As come it will for a' that,)
That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth,
Shall bear the gree, an' a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that,
It's coming yet for a' that,
That Man to Man, the world o'er,
Shall brothers be for a' that.

Got a flyer the other day about battlefield Cyprus. Looks immpresive, sounds impressive, but is it impressive?Has anyone done this before? If so, any good?http://www.battlefieldlivecyprus.com/

Hazza, have you tried it out yet? Awaiting the reviews!

You are so wrong Paphitis. Both Oracle and Liberty (aka Oracle) posted on the same thread last month.

As to the harm she may/may not have done my perception of her was one of a blatant racist. On several occasions she said “Turks out of Cyprus” and never bothered to qualify that broad statement as to whether it meant TCs, mainlanders or the TA. Indeed her racism led to the disappearance of at least three valuable and articulate contributors to CF.

I’m angry at Turkey but like it or not we will have to come to terms with the TCs, telling them how much we loathe them is not conducive to solving our differences.

I feel uncomfortable discussing someone who is denied a response (no doubt her groupies will have something to say) however had you seen her last posts (since deleted) you would realise she went way over the top in her final assault on Gasman and in that respect she brought about her own demise.

In spite of her undoubted intelligence, articulacy and quick wit on balance I feel the forum is better off without her, newcomers may, in the long run, feel less intimidated and more inclined to join in.
