As a reader mainly rather than a contributor, I would love to know why mainly Uzumlu threads get very heated, personal and off the original topic. I like a lot of others imo, ask is it worth posting a thread on here for all this bickering, when the point is to get advice/information for people who live, holiday or want to move to this country. The negative posts give a very different picture to an area (and I don't just mean Uzumlu to this end)that is in fact a lovely country with very friendly people and a welcoming attitude whether you are a tourist or ex pat. I am not 100% sure who are moderators and who are not, but I can guess by comments made and to that end some moderators on here seem to enjoy nothing more than extending the negative issues rather than moderating topics back to their original posts and enforcing what this board is primarily about. Don't get me wrong I am all for freedom of speech but if someone has posted a specific topic why respond off line!Please Scunner correct me if I am wrong on this point.
