That would be up to the Forum administrators and the moderators to try and find a way. Probably set up a flag activating upon the use of vulgarities, or in response to direct complaints.

Even if the opinion is not one you share? Remember that I have gotten a lot of grief on this forum for expressing my opinion on the issue.


You are a foreigner with no connection to Cyprus. So it is really none of your business. You can say your opinion but why should anybody care to convince you or understand you?


Good question. Perhaps you should ask that question to either B25 or Boomerang who seem to take my presence here too seriously. But as the function of a forum is to debate, it is logical that if my view is contrary to yours, you would seek to try and convince me that my view is wrong by providing arguments and rebuttals to any points that I may raise.

anyone should be allowed to participate on this part of the forum, but anyone talking sh*t deserves a verbal battering.... and usually gets it.

if so, how?

if not, ur wasting ur time... and so would we be giving u any attention.

Well, my attitudes toward Turkey itself has hardened. Turkey's interests and not the Turkish Cypriots' interests are their priority. As for the south, I'm still not getting answered the one question that I've been asking since 2005: What will it take to convince the Turkish Cypriot people (and their supporters like myself) that life in a reunified Cyrpus would be any real improvement compared with life in the TRNC? I'm talking about economically, culturally, and politically.

You are neither a GC a TC nor live in Cyprus. YOu have no connebtion to Cyprus, your opinion is quite probably a paid for one. You cannot expect us to believe you woke up one morning and decided that, oh, dear the TCs have had it hard, I must support them. Come on Dean we were not born yesterday.

You actively set up and write w iki page on the pseudo state singing it's praises and you do this for the love of TCs for which you have no possible connection???

No, it can only be financial, thats why you get the shite that you do, because you deliberately spread lies and propoganda for the occupation regime.

Just stick to cartoons and the 12 year olds that you can entertain, leave Cyprus to us to worry about. Arkansas, ain't even F close to Cyprus. what a plonker!

I have several friends in TRNC, B25. And judging from your posts, the last person I would like to have my TC friends be left under the "care of" is you. Honestly, I don't think you are capable of giving any Turkish Cypriot a fair shake. Is that not a fair assesment?
