Freedom of Speech?



Izzet runs this site as a commercial enterprise.Advertising revenue pays the bills and if a post slags off one of those advertisers then the thread gets removed.

Is this what you call freedom of speech?

Hans,you have spent most of your life in journalism,how may of the publications you worked for pulled a story because of pressure from advertisers?

Tony,you know you have got to him when he ignores you.Baffle him with logic and common sense and straight away he goes on to personal attacks.

Gentlemen, discuss your issues with board manager Izzet or one of the moderators. The graphic in message 1 speaks for itself and it's all I have to say. Bye.

What a sad bunch. Hans is one of the only people that puts things on here that are actually to do with TRNC and he posts something in support of the board and it turns into a have a go session. Are we going to have another year of pointless threads about the weather and the cost of Efes or are we finally going to get some real discussions of interest???

Camli - I fear your former statement may, sadly, be correct



Happy New Year.

DC read your article and don't know enough, but if the Forum was intentionally brought down I think it is totally infantile behaviour. I could not believe the vitriolic posts. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but some of the posts brought things down to a very personal level. It is very sad, but the Cyprus situation will not be easily solved.

I look forward to reading your threads in 2010 and thank you for helping Liz, Christina, SOS, and all the other members you have posted photos etc for in 2009.

Thank you for caring DC and I wish you and yours a very happy New Year.

I used to regularly have a go at Hans, then one day over a hand shake every thing became clear.



Unfortunatley it is the sad people who get involved are the ones that are suffering

msg 12: camli, the weather and cost of efes aren't pointless threads to many members.

Are the "real discussions of interest" you mention restricted to threads that interest you?

Mr DC



I cannot quite unravel your cryptic clue in message 1 refered to in your messge 9.



According to heraldic sources that I have, a gold shield depicts generosity and the elevation of the mind, and a red spier depicts someone who is an honourable warrior or valient knight.



How do these symbols strengthen any arguament you may have with modorators?

RE msg 22, Mr Vince: (...) any arguament you may have with modorators? (...)

=> Arguament? Modorators? As far as I know I have no argument with moderators. So what is your point? And the Cyprus44 supportive graphic in msg 1 doesn't necessarily reflects any heraldic fact or truth.

P.S. Did you also notice that I painted the horse grey - which is very rare and another cryptic clue, don't you think?
