		<description>OMFG! I feel so guilty, DD! I haven't stopped by a few days and all this shit's been going down?

DD, you KNOW you have my support and solidarity! It is so encouraging that many decent people left words of encouragement.

I am proud to call you friend
and read your blog because
you are making a difference NOW,
in a shitty world and in MY country,
you are doing something to help people living in MY country,
which is THEIR country,
which may not be YOUR country...
but in the end is
OUR country. 

As a Greek but moreover, as a citizen of the world, I thank you for making a difference, I am humbled and inspired by your writings.

Peace and good vibes your way.</description>

		<description>dear diva , 
its wonderful to see the net stand together against this kinda of abuse ,, and many friends,, HACKER FRIENDS 
can take care of the problematic behavior
of those who cant play by the rules,
of course nonviolently .


BUT if you permit me i pondered upon 
HERAS  subtle message of supporting the return of the cypriot city of 
varosha or famagusta or ammoxostos

all of a sudden they remembered 
trying to attract attention on other subjects,
on a humane basis, 
WHEN THEY KNOW THEY SCREWED UP.....BIG TIME


dear hera

in a fact finding mission in 1986 in the city of LARNACA CYPRUS  i have met refugees from the 
turkish invasion of 1974,,
 most were very poor farmers or workers 
in ammoxostos ,, the cypriot goverment 
built for all refugees one story houses 
in great suburban fashion 
outside the city of larnaca
, with all the 
comforts of water , electricity , roads ,
hospitilazation if needed .
ALL CYPRIOTS REFUGEES ARE MUCH BETTER OFF THAN BEFORE
AND SOME EVEN STATED TO ME PERSONALLY 
THAT , WHY SHOYLD THEY RETURN TO POVERTY 
WHEN THEY ARE MUCH BETTER OFF
 WERE THEY ARE NOW.


Of course those wishing to return 
are those with large pieces of lands 
were poorer northern cypriots cultivated
the land for meager salaries .

this is my personal opinion

you and me bitchin
about ancient history,,,

were greeks mostly officials of the military junta of 1974 and C.I.A, agents  
betrayed our greek and turkish cypriot brothers
and the invasion ensued  

Divas process to report the poorliving 
conditions of the ROM  in VOTANIKOS 
for instance is not on the same level 
with the political problem 
of  turkish occupation of northern cyprus
or even english occupation in the military bases next to ammoxostos .

SO DONT TRY TO TURN THE TABLES

it has nothin to do with divas ROM  series 
concerning hundreds of people of rom
descent living in garbage , having no water
not having an education AND NO GREEK GOVERMENT 
OFFICIAL DOING ANYTHING ABOYT IT , 

And the worse of it is ,, everybody 
(whos a greek citizen cant see this . ) im greek i see this and i applaud the diva for taking a stand 

i pity you and your friends  for your stand .

it was pathetic.</description>

		<description>Hey DD,
Looks like I have missed quite a storm!! This is really bad what's happened, and proves the childish reaction of those who can't handle the truth. Good on you for facing it so well, wishing you strength and safety. As I have told you I am a journalist by training so let me know if I can help you in any way.</description>

		<description>I'm glad you are not letting the darker side of humanity keep you from spreading important truths.  Please keep it up.  Like many, I had no idea that these communities exsisted!  As they say, sunlight IS the best disinfectant, so please continue to shed the light on these issues.

As for removing the violent, racist, and offensive comments.  Might it not be more effective to post the comments on your main page with links to the individuals who left them?  Again, sunlight...</description>

		<description>If this was already posted in the last comments thread, I'm sorry to be redundant, but this page (http://www.crablaw.com/2007/04/take-back-blog-host-page.html) is hosting a “Take Back the Blog” blogswarm next Saturday the 28th for bloggers to come together to speak out against online stalking, slander, harassment, and intimidation. All you have to do is post about this issue on that day, and submit a link to your post to this site.  Maybe showing how many of us are willing to stand up against this kind of behavior will make a difference.</description>
