So many lies Catwoman, I have to say. You constantly bully Roswitha. You should be ashamed of yourself.
And your biggest lie was posting to all that you were no longer admin because of your numerous violations of the websites rules as an admin.
Open discussion and debate is fine. Censorship is not.

i like the cartoons of Roswitha cuz they are helpful for showing the ridiculous secrets of the court jesters in this site, but they don't suit the jesters.
i would like to thank to Roswitha for using those cartoons as a litmus paper...

Roswitha, I hope you tell everybody who made you delete your cartoons. I believe it was some members' PMs that made her delete them, not the admin's.
For those advocates of freedom - may I draw your attention to the fact, that the cartoons making fun of politics or west do not insult anybody. It is only the ones about Islam that get negative responses and only from Muslims.

You are a bully yourself Keith, with your seemingly pro-freedom and pro-justice agenda. I have done nothing wrong neither now nor when I was an admin. You should be very careful before you make such sweeping accusations.
I haven't asked Roswitha to delete her cartoons, per complaints from some people, I only asked her to post less pictures and of smaller size. I even specifically told her not to delete what she already posted, for some reason she did it though!
"open discussion is fine" - wow, what a hypocricy on your part. Put it in your "anti-turkey, anti-islam" thread!

There are double standards at TC. I don't say this with any malice. Its a simple truth.
I'm not going to be bothered by in it anymore.
I love Turkey
its language
its people
my best friends in the world are muslim even though I am a Christian.
I respect their religion and practices, they respect mine.
I am done seeing the anti-islam club, anti-turk club have their fun everyday. Its just not right or healthy.
If you want to make members respect the rules of this site, than please. Enforce them. All of them. For everybody. Not just the ones you disagree with. Or from the people you don't like.
Otherwise, revise you rules of the site and then your admin enforcement can at least be seen as honest and open.

It is also a bit of a double standard that people can only say nice things about Turkey and/or Islam and not critisize it in any way. I don't want to argue with anyone, but I think we should all feel free to express how we feel as long as it doesn't get nasty ie....name calling and cursing.

I don't understand this double standard thing at all. Because there are discussions that questions Turkey or Islam doesn't make us anti anything. You certainly don't hold back when criticizing your own country Keith. Should I assume your anti-american? As one American to another you could have fooled me. I'm not aware of anyone here saying they dislike the country Turkey, it's language or people. I would like to believe that the majority of people to contrary beliefs are here because they ARE interested in Turkey. Raising questions regarding culture, beliefs doesn't make a person anti anything. I hope you can see this.

well dear KeithL, it is very normal to see the double standarts in here. as i said before that those cartoons never suits to some people in this site.
it's very enjoyable for being a puppy of mature ladiez in this site, cuz that person has lost ID.
I am very experienced young man about women.
If a woman has no success or hasn't gained a rank in her real life, she becomes a black widow spider to use men in order to success for her life. if we look through the history windows, we can see many many women who had acted just like this. Puduhepa (Hittite), Theodora (Byzantine Queen), Kösem Sultan (mother of Sultan Murad IV), Hürrem Sultan (wife of Süleyman the Magnificent) etc...
we can increase these examples of course. Consequently, we can see a woman in this site who acts in this way and uses her admin power (cuz of relationship with the admin), if we look at this site carefully.
this site becomes the playground of that woman, and governs this site with her jesters. cuz she needs shoulders to decrease her inferiority complex. owing to the high inferiority complex and not being successful in the life, she becomes a queen of a very very simple website.
"Being Something of Nothing" is the occupation of these kinda women. It's very apparent as u see dear KeithL.
Now, the original vision for the site is being overshadowed. Most of people don't know how far they can go and write everything about slippery and sensitive topics (religion, Turkey, Atatürk, terorism etc..).
this site can't go on this way... I'm hopeful... So KeithL, keep the faith in your heart, it won't let you down..

This site is about Turkey and thus includes slippery and sensitive topics. It is the ones who cant handle this sensitivity who think they are TOO sensitive to discuss at all. And who think that anyone who is not afraid of talking about them, is consequently against them.

I totally disagree with you here.
However if we receive multiple complaints, not just from you and KeithL (Keith, please tell me that you didnt agree with the sexist post above either?) , we will reconsider to lock all threads about politics and religion for a while till feelings have cooled down. However, I think the only way to make a sensitive topic discussable, is by discussing it.
Thank you.

Keith, you asked me what was wrong with your thread about Israel and I told you that this topic is completely out of place on this web site. One thread where you've been discussing this topic has been locked, yet you started another one. I know there were threads about Israel before, but we are going to try to limit discussions about politics, especially when they are completely unrelated to Turkey.
I accused you of inciting anti-semitism only to show the irony of your behavior. You are criticizing what you don't like, but when other people criticize what they don't like, you are accusing them of being anti-islam or anti-turkey! Only by your own logic one could say that you're being anti-semitic.
Then of course the great thing is that you resort to calling me a bully and a lier... quite a personal attack and a nasty one.

Keith, Please note, this comment This has nothing to do with the content of Roswitha's posts, but rather the ethics of posting other people's works, and the technical mechanics of running a website.
Roswitha has contributed a great deal to information on the forum, and I appreciate that, but I find Roswitha's large graphics take a very long time to load and reformat the page making it hard to read other posts. They also take bandwidth, which costs money. The owners of this forum pay for bandwidth.If something takes a lot of bandwidth, besides costing more $$$, the site can crash....which we have seen here a number of times.
I don't think there is anyone else here who consistantly posts as manylong articles, and since she learned how to post graphics, as many detailed graphics as Roswitha.
As for the long articles, or any items she copies and pastes with no link or credit, most forums have rules regarding this matter. You are allowed a couple of paragraphs, then you are required to post a link to the rest of the article and most definitly credit the author/artist.
Now I am expecting to be flammed for this post.

A few points for alemada's post:
Adding external images, technically, will NOT cause any badwith issue, because those images are not served by turkishclass.com.
So, images added will NOT cost any extra bandwith to tc financially.
If the image width is greater than xxx pixels it will break the html design of the page a bit -so as very long unspaced links/or texts-
Loading a big image into your browsers can be a problem depending on the server's ability and your bandwith (and there might be some more reasons as well)
I would recommend, technically, find your image you want to add and right click on that image then properties and then see what you are adding -check the width dims and the size of image..if an image's width is more than 600 pixels and bigger than 200kb/300kb, i would recommend do not add it.

So, being a queen or a Sultan's wife or mother is not a very prestigious rank? You know what happens to men who are unsuccessful in life? They become narrow-minded, homophobic, misogynists, rude and tactless. Why do you always say the word 'unsuccessful'? Doing senior year in high school over and over again? A female teacher flunked you? There must be a reason for your hatred towards women. Perhaps you are dominated by a woman in your life and thus have to resort to the Internet to bark your issues with them loud? Well, I am really sorry for you this way or another. A pitiful man is such a sad view...

Yes, she abuses her power, that's why she deletes all your posts and poor you have no chance to speak out the depth of your mind. And DK is also in a relationship with admin, and all the 'mature black widows' too. This site is created in order to make Adonis's blood boil. Oh, Admin is a woman too. A bitter unsuccessful one.

Yes it is a playground but you're the jester honey. Can't you see? All the unsuccessful women here who spend their lousy pensions on paying Internet bills come here to tease young successful Turkish men. Over all the years since this site was created no man had been foolish enough to be caught into our web. That is BEFORE you. But we knew sooner or later somebody would fall for the trap.
Quote: Now, the original vision for the site is being overshadowed. Most of people don't know how far they can go and write everything about slippery and sensitive topics (religion, Turkey, Atatürk, terorism etc..). |
No topic is sensitive if you feel strongly about it. If you're brainwashed and taught not to see bad things then it's your problem. See, few years ago we had a very strict censorship here. Almost every thread was locked if only the word 'religion' appeared. The effect was that nobody would write anything for a few days. people were afraid to talk about anything because they might be censored. There were numerous complaints about The Police of Thought and policy changed. Do realise that not everyone loves being told what to say, do or think.

We are a multinational community, Serbian members got offended by pro-Kosovar posts where they were called murderers. Jewish members got offended by being called "a disgusting nation" women who are non-Muslim experience verbal aggression being called stupid, unsuccessful in life, unjust, biased etc. Some of these members quit TC as well because they were fed up with arguing over the same issues over and over again. Some of them were really aggressive and they were often told that. It seems the only members not really called names are Muslims. You can't compare discussing certain topics to calling names. If you follow the forum, you may see that most members try to be as polite as possible. Unfortunately, there are some "trolls" who cut in and break peace with vulgar language and personal remarks.

People make their own choices azade. If they let themselves be “pushed†because they take things personally then that is their issue, not the sites.
Don’t you think if someone REALLY felt so strongly that they were being pushed out……… if they were REALLY so offended by something or someone …..that they post a “goodbye†thread…..that they wouldn’t keep coming back?
No one is forced to log on this site, we all do it of our own free will. And those that are really "pushed out" are on the deleted users list, with a comment other than "user's request"!

Thats the only point I'm trying to point out. Since Catwoman was the one to listen to all the other members complain about Roswitha all day, she made the decision to notify Roswitha to limit her daily osts, limit her length of posts, limit her cartoons.
The pressure must have been overwhelming for her to come to the conclusion that Roswitha must be stopped, otherwise, she could have just ignored the few messages she got...

It's quite lovely when the sexism surfaces among our male members. There could be hundred better reasons then being a bored housewoman who wants to "push her political agenda". You could have done better Keith without getting primitively sexist here. Also, your guesses... are coming from completely wrong directions. What's YOUR point, I wonder? Is it to incite more intercultural hatred or to promote the thing you keep complaining we don't have enough - some mutual understanding. It's the people on the web site that make this web site. You're one of them and you're not a good example of what you're trying to promote.

Now, its just a playtoy for a bored housewoman who enjoys using the site to further her political agenda while she ridicules those she disagrees with.
Enjoy all!!! |
Oh Keith that is such an "adonis" comment! |
Lets not pretend....This is Catwoman's site. No one else. She is free to uses it and abuse it any way she likes. If the site were ran by a man, my decription would be that of a man...
My only adjective was bored. Hardly sexist.

Should I send my pm's to Roswitha through you from now on? Are you her knight? I believe Roswitha can make her own decisions and speak up for herself when she has a problem. We don't need some overzealous old men to speak for her.

That and if I had the same opportunity to share my points of view without immediate censorship. It appears my causes are against TC sacred cows. The gay Attaturk, evil islam threads go on for pages and pages. I provide an accurate link on the killings in Palestine to force out British rule and I get warned after 1 posting. So as much as you complain about free press in Turkey, there appears little on American made TC website too.

KeithL, I'm sure you can imagine how hard it is to be an admin. Are you implying Roswitha was bullied by admin although she didn't break any rules?
In any normal forum users' suggestions must result in an action taken by an admin/moderator. If there were complaints about her posts, what do you think an admin should do? I can imagine it is hard for some members to wait till all the cartoons download although, personally, I prefer posted cartoons to links.
You mustn't blame the admin for Roswitha's decision. Do you know how many users get PMs from the admin? You don't as it is not made public. Roswitha was not the only one. Besides, Catwoman explained it so many times, it is about time you let it go.
I don't think the fact that some users felt uncomfortable with her posts should make her go away. Some of her posts started great discussions and some cartoons were absolutely brilliant.
And that sexist comment was really low...

What is it that I'm abusing? Please, enlighten me, I'll be glad to change my horrible ways. I'm not deleting people, I'm not locking threads, I'm only expressing my opinions when there's a discussion. What's so unacceptable and abusive (bullying or lier) by asking Roswitha to post less pictures of smaller size (which has been people's frustration for a long time)?

Yeah right. Why are you saying things that are false and just looking for ways to insult me? Yes, very sexist. Your "guess" that I'm a bored housewoman is a typical sick, sexist offense line. And the primary reason why it's sexist is that you're using this to insult me and not because there's any truth in this. I'm neither bored nor a housewoman. Exactly the opposite.

Ok, so I see that your real frustration is that I called you anti-semitic and I told you that you shouldn't start that new thread about Palestine. I already explained this to you. Here it is again:
Quoting catwoman: Keith, you asked me what was wrong with your thread about Israel and I told you that this topic is completely out of place on this web site. One thread where you've been discussing this topic has been locked, yet you started another one. I know there were threads about Israel before, but we are going to try to limit discussions about politics, especially when they are completely unrelated to Turkey.
I accused you of inciting anti-semitism only to show the irony of your behavior. You are criticizing what you don't like, but when other people criticize what they don't like, you are accusing them of being anti-islam or anti-turkey! Only by your own logic one could say that you're being anti-semitic.
Then of course the great thing is that you resort to calling me a bully and a lier... quite a personal attack and a nasty one. |
By the way, previous/other moderators/admins were locking threads and deleting people without any explanation. Whenever I have a problem with a thread I explain that first. Yet, you are calling me a lier and a bully.

It's not the words, it's how you use them. Don't pretend not to mean what you meant.
Quote: Equal treatment and equal enforcemnet of site rules. That is my only point... |
In what way are the rules unequal? Your post on Israeli was closed because it had nothing to do with Turkey, besides, the other thread about the same subject is still open. Post whatever you want there if you want.
Post whatever opinion you like about Turkey, praise it or criticise it, do you think your thread will be locked? Sure, you may find opinions different to yours but it has nothing to do with equality, it's the freedom of speech.

The mystery is that you said she was asked to delete her posts. And clearly, from your comment, you were told that by Ros herself.
Quoting KeithL:
ask roswitha, I don't think Roswitha would lie to me..... |
Isn't that why you started this thread? Because you were told by Ros that she was told to delete her posts?
And didn't cat clearly state what her comments to Ros were?
You are taking one side here and completely dismissing any evidence to the contrary.
