I think this thread is not good to read and there needs to be a period of refection about what the Forum is all about.
There are many testimonies on this forum which say how friendly it is and how helpful it has been. All sorts of people use it, whether just the curious, holiday planners or property owners. This includes Turkish people, other people from overseas and of course people in the UK.
While it is ok to disagree with a view expressed it is not, in my opinion, OK to character assassinate contributors or comment on their personalities in the way some people have on this thread and in some other recent ones.
It is better people simply say they disagree with a point put forward and then express there own view on the issue and not oln the person making it! I think moderators have a role to play in ensuring some of the worst character assination or persoanlity attacks don't get published. They also have a part to play by not making things worse by inflaming the situation. Sometimes I think it might be best if moderators kept more neutral and keep out of these spats. I just wonder if they are being goaded to fire other peoples bullets. If people stuck to the issues and not the personalities everyone can make a contribution and people like me can continue to use this Forum knowing it will continue to remain a friendly forum which can be relied upon. Now wouldn't that be nice!
