Your (subjective) opinions about Turks

[The Wizard]

I'm really getting tired of your "hollier then thou" attitude. I was only one post from the hellenes, to which Mete Han respond quite normally, but than you had to post twice, I guess to make sure no one missed, about Balkan "ethnodrama" and to explain everyone your opinion (which is wrong, btw). Actually the entire thread was going quite well, before you started explaining Balkan "ethnodrama", from which point it went in totaly another direction and involved 4-5 new people who weren't involved in the original discussion and who continued going off topic after your "ethnodrama" comments...

So, don't judge people and nations - judge persons, and when you do that, start from yourself.

Ah, so you believe Mete Han's comments involving such fine übergeneralizations such as "all Greeks hating Turks," vice versa, subjective opinions going both ways, neither of which leaves any room for logically constructed, to be reasonable ones? More generally, you support them, apparently, because you seem to take offense at my characterization of this type of (verbal or not) conflict in this region of the world?

In fact, reading your post, you come off as considering such comments normal. No matter what Mete Han's intentions were typing them up, that's pretty disgusting, when such things become a part of everyday life and you no longer stop and think about the absurdity of it all.

Despite that, apparently you haven't read this whole thread. Rather, you seem to only have read my post containing this term of mine (Balkan ethnodrama). You see, what did you expect of this thread despite this? You think these kinds of opinions, ill-constructed and laden with ignorance, which prolong and deepen the age-old and useless conflicts of the Balkans, serve any purpose but to be shot to pieces by people who are actually using their grey matter?

If this is the purpose of Mete Han's project, then all praise and support belongs to him; if not, then I need to go disconnect the palm of my hand from the front of my face. There is no place in this modern world for the type of thinking that led us into the meatgrinders of the Somme.
