My issue is not that he post pro-GC views. My problem is that he posts things he knows to not be true. One recent example being him posting 'the ECHR protects the rights of TRNC citizens in the TRNC but does not protect the rights of non citizens'. He KNOWS this is not true, yet he posted it anyway. If you read the thread where he does this you can see why he does so. he does so to support another claim about the TRNC that he makes that is not true. Namely that the TRNC constitution is racist. I believe that he posted that knowing that it is not true, but cant be as certain as the other example given. Anyway when challenged about it being racist, his first 'proof' is that it gives different rights to TRNC citizens than it gives to non citizens. A spurious proof in that every consitution in the world does that. So then he makes the claim that because non citizens in the TRNC are not allowed to protest and citizens are the consitution is racist. The problem is this restriction is not defined in the consitition but in TRNC laws. So then he claims 'ECHR protects citizens in TRNC but not none citizens'. When challenged about the truth of that he simply refuses to answer and starts on personal insinutations and accusations as a diversion. Now, if you dont know the link between the ID he posts there under currently and all the others he has and uses there in the past and other places today, you would think 'ok he is just mistaken'. However when you DO know the link between this alias and the others there can be no doubt tht he posted that KNOWING it was simply not true when he posted it. Let me just say if he had posted that laws within the TRNC are discriminatory against non citizens and not inline with EU morms in many areas, he would not have heard a peep out of me, because that is true.
And remeber I have watched 8 years of this kind of behaviour from him accross at least 5 different 'fora' of one form or another and many aliases.
What is more let me give you one more example of how he operates. Over the 8 years he has many times tried to label me as racist (amongst many other accusations that he neve offers evidence for) and makes a big deal of shooting others down for racist posts. However when one of the minority of other posters that generally 'supports' him , the kind that things its clever and funny to be as un PC as possible like a little school kid saying the word 'bum', posts one of the most racist anti Cypriot 'claims' I have ever seen, namely that in essence the reason why Cypriots have a higher incidence of thalissima than other comparable groups is because they have higher rates of child sexual abuse than other comparable groups. So how does 'zoots' respond to such a post. He says 'yeah I know what you mean'. When I subsequetly challeng the poster does he offer any opinion on the inherent racism in that (untrue) claim ? Does he fook. Dispicable behaviour imo but again one can only truely see how dispicable when one can connect his posts accross other aliases.
If you want the links to these threads so you check the truth of the claims I make here just ask.
Now it is true that he has been banned many times on cyprus44 under previous forum names and it is also true that he attracts post from alot of people who want him banned again. It is also true that by deciding to expose the connection between these links on cyprus44 he attracted a lot of posts from others and calls that he once more be banned there. However I stand by my claim that what I did was not about a desire to see him banned to silence valid critism of the TRNC of post GC viewpoints but a desire to expose and limit to a degree the full extent of his behaviour and validly so given that behaviour and how extensive it is in places, aliases use and over 8 years and how it can only be properly seen once you can make those conections.
I stand unashmed by my actions there and bringing it here, which I might add is a RESPONSE to him first bringing it here. I did not come here and propactive do here what I had done there. He folowed me here and tried to use what I had done to undermine my character in the eyse of others. All of this has been in response to that.
