I insist on pointing out the inconsistency in the view that balme fairly accrues to communites equally - regardless of their size but that poltical power can not fairly do so.

There is a case for what you say but that does not mean for every action there was an equal reaction. Take the example of the two GC (G) killed entering TC enclave, aledgedly armed and alledgely trying to speed through the checkpoint. There was a reaction to this - 30plus inncocent TC unarmed and going about their normal business were murdered in response. So Yes there was action and reaction - but that does not mean they were equal.

I would point out once again that I do not start these discussion. I react to GC claims that I consider (with good reason imo) to be all about trying to absolve the GC of blame for things they were responsible for. I continue to react to the players of the blame (denial of blame) game.
It still feels like you only comment on TC like myself that you feel are playing the blame game and never GC. Do you not think the assertions that GC violence was not the main cause of TC fleeing their homes by GC posters here is playing theblame game? Why do you only appear to critise TC responses to this and not the GC origninators?

Yes, as a community we did treat the TC's as 2nd class citizens for much of the time, my self personally I never have and as far as I know my family has not either. In much talk and discussion with fellow GC's we do rue the mistakes of the past, we do accept blame and we want an end of this mess, but your attitude does not allow for any meanigful discussion.
It is just a shame then that what you discuss with fellow GC is not what comes accross to me as a TC as the beleief of many GC posters here. What comes accross as the view of some GC posters here is that what the TC suffered and experienced in the period 60-74 was principaly due to TC and Turkey actions and not GC. The view that we were only treated as 2nd class citizens because we made ourselves be treated as such. This is the impression I get form some GC posters and you will have to fogive me if I react to such posts that create such impressions and try and refute them.
