To be honest I did follow the link Paphitis gave me that presumably included the reason why Tim left .
The fact is I have followed that discussion in the past.
There's nothing in there other than agreement that each one of you guys voted pro or against Brexit based on your own view on the matter.
I don't think Tim left the forum in protest. He just stopped posting as many others already have.
He is a professional translator from English to Turkish and vice versa, and he often presented the forum interesting articles from Turkish papers. He really beleived and hoped Cyprus would get re-united. He was a pro-solution guy.
I think the reasons he stopped posting in the forum are because
a)GC/TC discussions on the CY problem are now totally dead-nobody cares anymore.
b)After Brexit there's nothing interesting in this forum for a British guy who now lives and works in Cyprus to talk about.
Tim Drayton had told me that he was going to cease contributing and he stated quite clearly to me that the reason for this is that the forum has descended to a new low of being pro Assad and Pootin.
Tim was never a supporter of the West like I am, but held both sides in low regard and at the very least both sides as equally culpable and irresponsible. With that in mind, he was no fan of Pootin or Assad, was a supporter of the Arab Spring but was no apologist for the West Either.
He told me in no uncertain terms that he had enough of hoodwinked in particular because of the nature of his posts being an apologist for Pootin which he deplores as much as Trump, if not more, and he didn't appreciate the excessive propaganda.
I can reveal the PM, but I don't think that is appropriate. You can probably PM him yourself and ask him directly. He may choose to respond to you.
