What peace are you talking about? She will continue "criticizing Turkish people." and probably will not give up using sarcastic tone. What happened now is inevitable. And I told her so.

Now I have the right to put my thoughts about the issue.

Have it your way. But then I have a question: what is wrong with 'criticizing Turkish people'? As far as I know they are only human too, not saints.

Nothing wrong with criticizing Turkish people. Sarcasm is here the trouble. Catwoman uses sarcasm too much especially to upset Turkish people, which is called "Criticizing Turkish people" by Catwoman again. I used quotation mark here. It's so called "Criticizing Turkish people."

The other thing is why Turkish users leave? Don't they know Catwoman's behaviours. She could say anything to "Criticize Turkish people."

Gizli Yuz, you are right that I am sarcastic a lot, that's what I do in regards to everything
Anyways, before you continue bashing me, would you please read the explanation that I wrote? I actually didn't mean anything sarcastic about Turkey this time, you know?
You guys completely took it out of context. I see that it was easy to take it that way, therefore I apologized..

Not that I am "bashing" Catwoman because I have a very personal problem with Catwoman and now she's easy target. I am "bashing" Catwoman here because she was warned before.

Is this your explanation? :

"Hoping to correct the misunderstanding, I'd like to add that I did NOT mean that "Kemalism or Islamism are western evils", I was trying to be sarcastic and ask a question - "are they Western?" and "are they evil?" to challenge the fact that all "-isms" come from the West and that all "-isms" are bad. I actually used Kemalism as something good here."

I think you should try and see both sides here and just forget this.

Throughout this thread the UK and US have been insulted by the Turkish and a US member here has left the site because of it too!

I agree we should just calm down and put all this in context.

Throughout the thread(from the first page to the last)!, by the Turkish(all Turkish users participating in the argument)! The remarks of the Turkish about the UK and the USA, or any other country are regarded as INSULTS. However, your remarks about Turkey and the Turkish fall into the category of CRITICISM.

And also I really would like to know who that US member in question was.

I used the word INSULT because that is what you call criticism. If you cannot take it, don't give it.

And yes, actually I do find it insulting that somebody would ASSUME that I do not morn the dead in Iraq. I was very active in protesting about that "war" and strongly obeject to assumptions that state otherwise.
