Quoting libralady: Quoting girleegirl: Quoting karpusqueen:
"classless" ? Go and look in the language forums, members are often giving out links for similar sites to this. Being a member of another site doesn't preclude someone from continuing to use this one. However, if Vineyards chooses to transfer his attention from one site to another, that's his right.
Notwithstanding Admin's original inspiration for creating this site, it is not some kind of nicey nicey Sunday afternoon project for the owners GG, it is a business enterprise and exists to provide a service to the public and thus make money.
If a person decides to venture into the business world, then they must expect competition not a monopoly. Moreover, they must keep their eyes firmly on the competition to ensure their own service keeps ahead of the game.
When Admins asked for suggestions recently I suggested that they themselves join similar sites so that they could evaluate and learn good practice and avoid less successful practice. Of course, they may already do this, I don't know. It's sensible business practice and any well run, creative business will not be scared of competition, but motivated by it. As an example, all the major supermarkets here in the UK keep their eyes firmly on each other. It keeps them on their toes, it makes them more creative, more innovative and ultimately the customer benefits too.
Maybe you went to the George Bush School of Economics, I don't know, but if you did I'd ask for my cash back as he thinks the French don't have a word for entrepreneur 
|
Well it certainly doesn't surprise me that YOU wouldn't get it!  |
I don't find it suprising, those that have moved to the other site, did not generally get involved in the "debates". If Vinyard is classless, then so was Trudy as she also mentioned it and if I remember rightly they are not alone in mentioning other sites on here! |
I simply find "classless" to be an odd choice of word.

Quoting teaschip1: Quoting KeithL: Why is this classless? There is an entire thread on this site dedicated to other links for learning Turkish. So if Vineyards is classless for this, so are the dozens of other people that posted other links. (This included admin by the way).
What is the point of hating for the sole purpose of hate??? |
Don't make excuses for your friend, Keith. |
Here we go again . . . grouping people, drawing lines of division.

Quoting vineyards: I can't compete with you with PM's where I use one adjective you come up with 5-6. Are you sick? |
Now I'm really cross . . . I never get PMs from GG. Well she won't be able to now of course because she used up all her adjectives

Quoting karpusqueen: Quoting teaschip1: Quoting karpusqueen: Quoting teaschip1: Quoting girleegirl: Quoting vineyards: Thank you. I will not contribute to this site anymore. I am thinking of contributing to another Turkish language forum at http://29984.rapidforum.com/ from now on...

I just went there and guess who are new members? PeaceTrain and Alamada... This site was originated from Kadir, a wonderful person who use to post here but decided to leave. Aenigma and myself were one of the first members at that site.
Now I'm afraid that site will never be the same. |
Oh no Teas, it's ok, I only save my worst behaviour for this site. . . it just sort of crept up on me over the few months I've been here.
btw the dementia thing and all the self deprecating remarks I made . . . all sarcasm Don't worry, I heard some Americans don't understand superior UK humour, it's too subtle
btw I'm saying all of the above knowing full well it will anger some . . . just thought I would clarify. |
Like I have always said you are an instigater..But I hold nothing you say to be bothersome, I just consider the source. The harder you try to anger people, the more laughs I get. So your sick sense of humor is really just quite embarrasing for you. Part of me actually feels a bit sorry that you humiliate yourself. Underneath all of your condescending posts, you could be quite an interesting person. But you have allowed yourself to be clouded and misguided into a person who feels compelled to get attention by acting out. |
No I'm not embarrassed or sick 
I could be an interesting person? I don't quite understand how that fits in with everything else you say. Don't worry teas, it's ok to dislike me completely. If I'm attention seeking the easiest thing to do is ignore me . . . simple. However, if you like the laughs I provide . . . welcome .
btw I'm sure trying to pass off an internet essay as your own work, and being found out, is infinitely more embarrassing
|
You really do have no clue..if it was my essay you would know it. I would have been much more critical..

You really DO have a clue . . . you are conveniently ignoring the fact that you passed off someone else's work as your own. The content is not relevant to the point I am making . . . and you know it.
btw couldn't you find an essay that matched your views more accurately, or was that too taxing for you?

Just because I didn't give a link doesn't mean I was passing it off as mine, you fool. If this way the case the majority of members here would be fraudulent as well. So why don't you scrutinize the majority here. 
Go take some more of your medication and rest, you need it.

Some people don't really want to get in mud slinging matches with other people. They look instead for meaningful conversations and information exchange. That is the reason so many have left this site.
I really wondered why this has happened here. It appears one of the greatest contributors to conflict is, in fact, one of the most powerful members here. One who actually controls what is going on. Members are cultivated like flowers in a garden. Some are cultivated, some are pulled out. Posts are deleted at that members pleasure. If a member becomes too troublesome, they are deleted. I've seen it happen many times. Embarrassing posts by that member are deleted as well. Then there is the famous locked thread tactic. Then there is the tactic of making it so uncomfortable that the member will leave.
Now why could that be? In analyzing the possible reasons, I've concluded some interested parties may actually want it that way. Why could that be? It gets traffic, and ups traffic statistics, which in turn gets more adds, which generate income.
I deplore what this site has become. It was once wonderful productive contribution to world society. Now it's become a bed of obstinate quarrelsome vindictive none productive bickering and useless debate. It's devolving into something that reminds me of a Jerry Springer type show.
