Quoting catwoman

 

 

Right of the columnist. You are free to write your own columns as well and then disable comments if you wish.

 

And it appears that it was done after spritzer returned as Paramedic and began to attack and swear again at everyone who disagrees with her.

 

 

Same thing with disabling comments; when comments disagree with you!

I am not defending that decision, I have explained to you what I thought seemed to be the reason (you said that that´s what you asked for!).

 

However, again... it appears that the comments were not disabled because they disagreed with the columnist, but because they were nasty personal attacks!

The address of my reprimand were actually NOT you, catwoman. Anyway...

 

What I don´t understand is; if this is a Turkish Learning website, why do administrators allow such column about that kind of sensitive issues?

 

Can´t these people see how serious these issues are? In my opinion, nearby deleting the accounts of users, admins MUST ban such discussions!

 

Sorry; as a teenager who has been living in Türkiye for long-life, I don´t want to see such issues to be told and commented by people who actually don´t have any idea!

 

thx

turkishcobra,

 

and what would that be?

 

Being forbidden to learn your native tongue in school?

Having to hide the fact that your native tongue is diffrent from the others?

Being beaten up because you do not speak the same language as the others,

and then when you learn the language and no one can tell what your native tongue is,

you get beaten up and looked down apon by your native people.

so you end up being treated like a trator by your people because you learned the ways of the others.

 

I have an idea of what both sides are going through.

Mind you I have not lived the conflicts from your country but I do know what the barrel of a riffle feels like against my head.

I also know the feeling of a fist hitting my face and the taste of blood.

All because of my origins.

 

And yes you are right, I do not know what is going on in your country but I can empathise.

 

I usually do not comment on such matters because my knowledge of what is going on is not that well versed and it is only what I see in the news, which is not much.

I just read and try to understand both sides.

But when I see people, who live in my country and they think they know exactly what is going and insult people who are actually living it, that I have difficulty with.

 

Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut and let the discution go on as it was.

But that would have also meant that others should have kept their mouths shut also.

 

Like I said, I do not know what is truelly going on in your country but I can empathise.

Stumpy; are you sure that you have read my last text carefully?

 

I just said that I didn´t want to see discussions about sensitive issues of Turkish public in this website, isn´t it too natural?

 

You expect people to show you respect, yes, it is your natural right. But what about showing respect to sensibilities of other people?

 

I´m not defending anyone. I´m defendin my own sensibilities, okay?

 

Can someone please tell me what did thehandsom´s column do but creating problem and provocating people?

 

This what I´m trying to tell; do not let unsolvable discussions to break out in this room! This is Turkish Language Class; not Turkish History Class or Turkish Public/International Relations Class or Politics Class!

 

thx
