Hi, as you might all know, I do not post here often but have great interest in reading posts daily.
I feel compelled to write this as I am seriously disturbed by a certain member on this forum.
Why do we allow Turk to write these agressive posts? Trying to insite hatred between others and always looking for an arguement.
I have tried to challenge him and ask why he behaves this way but am greeted with rude and dissrespectful posts. It's almost like internet terrorisim, constantly trying to make bad points from every angle and wanting people to constantly join his hate campain. Also every comment is answered with an angry reply and everyone is made out to be inverior to his royalhighness, people being harrased and challenged when he chooses not to read other posts or answer any questions himself. I understand the freedom of speech but there has to be a line somewhere and I feel he has crossed it, but I feel that I will miss out on useful knowledge and information about the country i am linked to if i am forced to stop using this Bantaba, so why should we let him destroy that.
I would love if the moderator could let me know how he feels about this topic and if actions should be taken?

But she also post
quote: Boring boring boring..........So what is the deal Turk....?????? You live in Australia....and complain of people down on Islam bla bla bla but you live in a western country that is netoriusly racist and as bad as the USA, wheres the point in that, why are you not in Turkey or in the Gambia if you feel so strongly about it..... Is it me or are you constantly trying to insite hatred???? Always looking for an arguement...... You make all these statements, constantly referring to wkipedia but re-read you posts 90% of them dont make sense............Also why are you living in Australia? Answer us that... you use big words but have such a little brain. Its funny how you are not willing to read anyones posts but your own, you obviously love the sound of your own voice..............I feel sorry for your daughter, god help us, if she turns out as arrogant and selfrightess as your self, she will make a good gambian president! Yeah, and all I see when I see your name on a posting (no wait, even just seeing the title of a thread) is yet another attempt to instigate a wave of inflamitory postings and personal cyber attacks. Why not spend more time focusing on your daughter rather than trying to stir up hatred here on the Bantaba? Try being a good and responsible parent ....
instead of being on the web all the time, be a parent and teach your child about morals, respect, and how to treat others like you would want to be treated....so we can all live in hope that she wont turn out like her father................
Regardless of my style, I post my opinions here. For doing that, the creator of this topic has no right to get personal with me any my family.

Turk, I have agree with your stance on some issues and I support you in expressing your opinion, especially when you have researched a topic which actually gives positive value to others. Be aware though that you sometimes attack people over their views and label them as being "pro-America", "Stalinist", etc etc. That is unnecessary... If you want someone to learn from you then this approach will not work, in fact it will probably have the opposite effect. Also, calling on someone else as taking things to a personal level does not take away from your own act. Be aware too that a person might have a similar stance to you but got there from a different place, therefore their viewpoint sounds different but in actual fact it really is not. Sometimes you have shown a great sense of humour in your postings and personally I value this far more... Take this criticism like a man, brother. More than a few people have spoken so you should concede there be some truth to what is being said. |

Isn't it a pity..... All the time i'm thinking how Fatoumatou and Fee Sweetie's beautiful boy could have a lot of fun together, completely unaware of their respective parents' anger and frustration.
Come on Fee, don't let the Turk chase you from the Bantaba. Come on Turk, get off your hobby horse - we all know now how you hate the US, sorry i mean Yankeestan, and how you want to convince us of how totally corrupted and shallow the 'western' world is compared to the 'islamic' world. Can't you see how you talk in cliches all the time? You rush into debates and,as Sisay says, most of the times you hear the opposite of what you wanted to hear. You keep telling us how 'we keep missing the point', but you are missing one important point yourself: that it is inevitable that we all have different opinions because of the simple fact that we come from different places, have had different upbringing, are in different agegroups and have different experience in life. Isn't that exciting? |

Fee Sweetie,If you must leave bantaba please do so for another reason, but not for Turk. Just ignore him. Unfortunately, free speech requires that we have to put up with a lot of nonsense... And I have contributed my own share of nonsense i am sure. You know there is a new area of law being developed called cyber tort; but even if Turk's conduct is actionable, I am pretty sure he can easily walk away with an insanity defence... |
