TLC = Turkish Learners Class, so this to me indicates somewhere for non-Turkish to learn Turkish. But the addictiveness of the forum and the soap opera like threads leave you unable to focus your attention on the real reason you joined TLC - unless of course you joined to find yourself a girl friend!

Quoting Daydreamer: KarpusQ, this declaration was made quite a long time ago. |
If you read my post, I acknowledged this and suggested the page I quoted may need updating.
Quoting Daydreamer: It is still a great resource of learning materials. |
I didn't say it wasn't and I use those resources 
Quoting Daydreamer: What you are confusing is the website as it is and its forum. People looking for materials to study have a big choice of lessons at all levels to choose from the menu on the left side. Forum is just a tiny part of this site. |
I'm not confusing anything. I am a romantic and that page I pasted here persuaded me to join the site. I simply wanted to remind people of the original intention/tone. Sometimes it's a good exercise to step back. As I said before, perhaps that page needs updating . . .to incorporate the Admins's vision of what he intended the purpose of the Forums (atmosphere etc.)
Quoting Daydreamer: If you compare it to the other forum you've joined recently, you'll see that there forum is everything. Here we have essays and galleries next to language resources. |
The other site is not an "instead of" but an extra. I take what I need from these sites and a couple of others.
Quoting Daydreamer: I can't understand why you keep posting here, not there if you find this site so unfriendly. Throughout years here a lot of good things were posted about Turks and Turkey. And majority of people here do like this country. You will see conflicts every time somebody's post is misunderstood. It's normal in every single forum I have seen. |
Please don't waste your time trying to understand  As I have said, I don't confine myself to the forums, I use the language lessons. I've made quite a few friends on this site, friends with different backgrounds. I have this site to be thankful to for that, so why should I not feel some loyalty towards it? In the past I have contributed to the photographs and I have enjoyed reading the essays and the poetry too. I have also learned quite a lot about Turkey by reading the forum threads. The forums are visited by many people and I am a tiny part of it. My posts aren't so significant. If I wish to post a comment, for whatever reason, I do - in much the same way as other members do. It's that simple.
Of course conflict MAY result from misunderstanding and they may also arise because of difference of opinion. Debate is about airing differences isn't it? Difference makes life so much more interesting, even if it rankles at times.
