Ha ha, I think he really takes it seriously.. Very seriously!!

I agree with this proverb. H does provoke many, but its up to you. You dont ave to add more fruits onto his crops. E.g. learn from aksakal Alpha. He doesnt give a toss to what H writes. Or learn from me, I dont either.

The more you react to his provocations the more you lose.

" All people like us are we" Rudyard Kipling

We are writing to encourage thehandsom, head of a boil, for changing his destructive debate style into constructive sharing one to eradicate the conflicts and establish a participative sharing climate in that site.

And we are glad to see even if just a bit positive changes in his attitudes in the last few days.

Nevertheless, I guess we must write sth. for you and DD as well because, we usually understand a fury in your words, but not your words.

Writing sth. in latin is is in fashion nowadays. Then, one from me;

Vi veri veniversum vivus vici. ( by the power of truth, i, while living, have conquered the universe)

I´m sorry I didn´t get this one. Fury in whose words? Lemon´s or Handsom´s?

As for me, there´s no fury. I come here to have fun. I don´t get agitated easily and if this site was making me furious, I´d have quit a long time ago. I have a sarcastic way of speaking and I love dark humour with nothing sacred to spare. Also, I am not a great fan of political corectness. For now you seem the one who acts like an angry child taking things without a pinch of salt. Chill out, put your feet up and enjoy the ride with us

And, please, lose this weird plural WE. Unless you´ve got a split personality disorder, in which case, I take back my words

Plus, the fact that you think you´re right, doesn´t mean you are (it goes for all of us). So, unless you prove it - you´re not A person who is not able to admit they are wrong, is, most of the time not worth taking seriously

Judging by your last post to me, I endorse this statement entirely.  Like you, I am unable to understand irony or sarcasm

Well..Thanks for that..Obviously, my love to you was not reciprocated..

Anyway.. Coming to the subject:

When I try to open a subject to discuss with a post like ´what about our Kurdish problem; what about adding some letters to alphabet for our Kurds etc´ if people are coming back with ´you got to be Kurdish; traitor; we have terrorism and terrorist supporters like you´ etc, then, when you ask them ´why they are not talking about the topic but getting into personal attacks´ and if you get an answer like ´we are sensitive to some subjects´ etc, excuse me, but those people´s sensitiveness should be slapped twice a day, 7 days a week. In order to make sure that they understood it. 

It is not provocation. It was never provocation.

Some of these people never knew, what went on Diyarbakir prison; some did not know that how many people got parishes in 1915; some did not know that our Kurdish problem did not have anything to do with EU or USA; some still dont know what constitutes to racism, they still think it is being too patriotic..

I am not asking anybody to be provoked or seeking provocation here. It is perfectly fine if you dont give a toss about what I write..

To be honest.. Oeince, I am really sorry but, you are way way "clever" than I first guessed..

Now, I am thinking if I should keep having banters with you or not in the future.. I am serious!!

The beauty of this site is that everyone is allowed to express their opinion.  Even a certain amount of arguing is allowed.  Turkey, from an outsiders point of view, is a very conflicted country.  It is a living representation of the conflicts that are happening all over the world...Religious Governent V. Secular Government, East V. West, Tradition V. Modern.  While thehandsom is provocative to many people on this site, he is also a unique member in that he represents a very different mindset than more traditionally minded Turks. I don´t know if he is purposely trying to upset his Turkish countrymen, but to a Westerner, he sheds light on subjects that are somewhat taboo to speak about in polite Turkish society.  I have been living between American and Turkish culture now for quite a few years, so I know what it is like to have to walk on eggshells about certain subjects.  In any case, I don´t always agree with him...sometimes he makes me quite angry (he makes my job difficult)...but I do value him as a classmate.   

Dear Stumpy,

I apologise if I went too far.  You only had to say "ouh I didn´t realise you were being ironic/sarcastic) and that would have been that, but to continue to patronise me by stating the obvious was not good.  

I dont apologise for the PM as that is the place for personal disputes, not here.

I am a rottweiler and won´t let go of the point.  I do try to stay calmer these days though...

TheAenigma (please note spelling...whoops there I go again...)

OMG - someone stop me!  "step away from the thread...." 

(NB Just saw that they added a smiley for Alpha since I was here before... )
