Did he really? Says who? Why should wanting to "make Cyprus his home" ingratiate him to us? We don't need anymore nitwits like you ruining our home!

[Paphitis]

I don't suppose anyone has considered the idea that the parties, in different ways, ARE BOTH TO BLAME for this event. A bit like Hitler and Stalin perhaps, both bad blokes but mainly good in the eyes of their own people. (I hate using the Americanised term - "guys")

Fair comment Jerry, for as much as it was wrong for the physical attacks on Conor (in the eyes of the law) it was equally wrong of Conor to offer abuse to those who attacked him (also in the eyes of the law).

The behaviour of BOTH parties may be questionable BUT, when the matter of 'Provocation' is considered, I would suggest that Conor's actions both prior and subsequent to his 'Drubbing', were far more provocative than those of the businesspeople he was both dealing with and NOT.

As to his subsequent 'Campaign' he has merely proven himself to be as poor a property negotiator as he is a property speculator. (IMHO).

You and Karyannis are no doubt good bed fellows, bum-chums even? Both supporters of violence? you tell me you utterly deplore the attack on him. I am not aware he was a speculator - what he wanted was a place to live, and the whole dispute arose because they wanted to rip-off Conor - well they got more than they bargained for, a prudent man who realised the only way he was going to get results was to make sure he documented everything.

So he was rude to karyannis - wouldn't you be to someone who was ripping you off, or would you prefer he used the language of that great English humanist and scholar, Sir Thomas Moore in his religious debates with the protestant reformer Martin Luther? The Karyannis crims probably deserved the abuse just as much as the sh1t some of you heap on Conor, indeed you are almost certainly no better than you try to make him out to be!

What has still not been explained is why certain state officials began to manipulate court dates: if that had not happened Conor could have had no complaint against the Cyprus Government, but again the F*ckwits in the court service who first politicised the matter by moving dates did not realise they were dealing with a brave man, and the cour case they have brought may will provide him with forum to bring .this out!

Good for you Conor, keep it up. You have lot of friend elsewhere, Ignore the sh1ts on this forum.

I speak as an Australian now, and as an Australian I can see that Conor has disgraced himself and his family. He turned a personal civil case between himself and a property developer and turned it into a campaign against Cyprus and the Cypriot people. You see, Cyprus is not just ANY country. It isn't Australia. If Conor or anyone conducted a campaign against Australia, then we Australians just won't give 2 hoots about it and just merely think he is a total wanker. But Australia isn't a country with a population of a mere 800,000 and its very existence is not under threat and neither is 37% of its territory under occupation by a far larger nation of some 1.8 Billion people.

You see, we Australians are true supporters of the underdog, and to us it is the RoC that is the real underdog as it is under an illegal foreign occupation, where 200,000 of its citizens were ethnically cleansed by force and lost ALL their property and worldly possessions. Conor, quite frankly should be ashamed of himself, because he did not behave professionally, provoked and antagonized even after being offered an out of court settlement which would have reimbursed all his losses and more.

Thankfully, the Cypriot Justice System delivered its verdict, now under review, and quite frankly, there is nothing I can say that is unfair about this verdict in my view.

So "supporttheunderdog"! Do you recognise that Cyprus and Cypriots are a long suffering people, on the brink of destruction by a far larger occupation nation, and do you support the unconditional withdrawal of ALL Turkish occupation forces and the right of ownership for property lost by All Cypriot refugees in a free and united Cypriot Republic and member of the EU?

Your answer here is critical in determining whether you do in fact support the underdog or whether you are a mere stupid hypocrite!

When you speak of being an Australian Paphitis do you mean you are one of the 2% of true Australians ie Aboriginal?

Makes Cyprus look positively over-populated with indigenous peoples doesn't it.

Yes, I am an Aboriginal and I can even play the digeridoo!

I am an Australian Native!

Supporttheunderdog, the manner in which you responded to my comments to "Jerry" is indicative of your base ignorance since you chose to offer insult both in the opening and closure of your response. (you have my sympathy for your lack of acceptable discourse).

I do not recall having indicated to you that I 'Totally Deplore' violence ( I would hardly have done so since I am of the opinion that Conor deserved a good thumping in this particular case) although I can fully understand (due to your ignorance) that you are unable to determine the difference between one's acceptance of the fact that it is contrary to the 'Law' to resort to violence, and situations (such as were apparent THIS case) where knowledge of the law would take second place.

My comments to "Jerry" indicated clearly that I was addressing the actions which led to the violence, from a 'Lawful' perspective, I suggested that whereas BOTH parties were at fault, Conor's were provocative, therefore, without the provocation there would have been no such violence.

As to the subject of 'Property Speculation' on Conor's part, I would imagine that even THE most naive among us recognize the justice in assuming that THAT was the primary consideration in every action he took.

Conor had every opportunity to recover his losses initially, I think he was very foolish to refuse the offer made to him.

Or was it just another of your wet dreams to put down GCs??

Tell us again why you are on a Cyprus forum?? You have nothing but hatred for us, why are you here unless to spread the conor gospel???

Paphitis, "Good on ya Cobber !" a well presented and perfectly fair assessment of Conor's self inflicted (IMHO) difficulties.
