I have said all I have to say on this matter, and I will not participate in this thread any further. The reason is that I can already feel myself getting angry, just by the fact that we are discussing this as if there is something to discuss.
And this is what starts my internal alarm bells ringing. Anger scares me (in myself and in others) - even 'justifed anger'. You are such a beacon of light and reasonableness in these forums in general that your personal anger scares me even more. I am gonna get a bit flippant here but I hope it's is taken in the way intended (flippancy to make a point and not intended to 'belittle' your arguments). Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to the dark side. Feel the force luke. (sincere appoligies if that does sound offencsive of dismissive)

Those of you (TCs) who are often angry with threads that run along the lines of "simple majority rule for Cyprus?" will understand how I feel.
I do understand your feeling Alexandros and as far as I am concerned you have earned more than enough respect from me as an indivdual to withdraw from any such discussion without any critisim or qualification.
I still remain concerned at what problems we may be storing up for ourselves (and others) with such anger and feel we should try and explore and understand this anger so as best to avoid is worst consequence. However like I say if you chose to participate in this thread or not I will not think any less of you for doing so.
