Bananiot for me is just a preacher. He usually throws some monologues in the forum and if you try to get into a point by point discussion with him he will divert to other preachings, to vague statements, irrelevant answers, paradoxes etc. Just look at his post Tue Aug 02, 2005 6: 39 pm and tell me what’s the relevance of what he said with the part he is presumably answering. Zip, just another preaching.
This is what I wrote on this infamous day of August 2 2005, at 6:39 pm, if you please
I said enough is enough but it seems I need to step in again. Piratis said:

The accusations against Papadopoulos have nothing to do with reality. Do you think that if Papadopoulos was collaborating with DISI to elect Cleredes that Bananiot etc would take the job of throwing mud at him every day?
Because some people decided to put mud on our president does this means he is guilty? If they have evidence that he made crimes then why they didn't take him to the court all this time?
Papadopoulos has been accused of being "Defkalion" ie the person who gave the green light for the execution of AKEL members and sympathisers during the EOKA period in Mesaoria and Karpas area. Eleven people fell to the bullets of EOKA from January to August in 1958. Defkalion, writing in "Egertirion Salpisma" said that the "executed got what was coming to them for the silver they collected for their treachery". He also wrote many things which if you read them will make your stomach turn inside out. Copies of the magazine "Egertrion Salpisma" can be found at the PIO and also at the offices of the "Association of EOKA Fighters".
AKEL has been calling for decades for light to be shed on the circumstances under which the crimes were committed. Recently, the issue was again on the agenda. Papadopoulos, initially seemed to be susceptive to the new call. Then he came up with this gem:
"I call upon the individual conscience of each EOKA area leader or executioner to restore the memory of any person that was wrongly accused and executed for treason. The people that know the facts have a duty to restore reality so that those which are wrongly accused will no longer live with the stigma of the traitor".
The area leaders of EOKA have on many occasions refused to do what Papadopoulos asked them to do. Papadopoulos knows this. He also knows that they refused to badge an inch even when their own are concerned, like Stephanides, the son of a priest and an EOKA fighter, who was also executed by EOKA for alleged treason. Yet, he makes a proposition that he knows that it has zero chance of being accepted. In this way he washes he hands and says to the unsuspecting ordinary AKEL members that, look, I want but they do not want. What else can I do?
That was a response on MicAtCyp's argument that if Papadopoulos was collaborating with DISI to elect Clerides I would not take the job of throwing mud at him every day.
So, first he makes a ruling that my job is to throw mud at Papadopoulos everyday and then he declares that if Papadopoulos had helped to elect Klerides I would cherish him for the rest of my life. He then expects everyone to sing to his tune. He can take this attitude and do whatever he likes with it but selling it here he will find very few willing customers.
To believe that every single person shapes his ideas according to how best his interests are fulfilled is pathetic and inhuman, it simply takes the fun out of living, it's like adhering permanently to the "selfish gene" theory. It makes a person dull and miserable. Anorgasmic and pathetic.
