This is very sad. It seems that there are sentiments being shared here against Oc.net that peobably are left out of the forum for the simple reason that if you randomly look through interesting threads at this site, as I do, irt seems that the ammount ogf space used for rants and off-topic posting that end up being petty areguments is slowly becoming larger and larger. It's funny to me how we all seek a unity of faith but then there are the little things like this where someone makes a comment and someone gets offended and then we have a whole mess on our hands and for a second we loose our civility... :ohvey:
Sad? Yes, but true. I apologize, of course, and did check earlier with our esteemed administration before engaging in this now unseemly banter.
Point made.

Come to think of it, weren't Blues and Greens the names of teams that raced chariots in the big Hippodrome in Constantinople?
You know, I'll have to check...but those "teams", fans I guess is an almost better term, certainly changed into something else.
Sort of like cross-forum wars mentioned above - got out of hand.
If you are going to cast an insult, do so for real....say what you mean about whom, rather than just implying in such a manner that it is painfully obvious. Maybe you can enlist McCarthy to help you on your anti-greek hunt.
I am precluded by the refined sense of propriety on this forum from directly responding.

Well what do you expect when you let the World Orthodox from the GOA join this forum!

I must be thick as a brick, but I have missed the supposed insults and the "anti-Greek hunt" going on in this thread.
I haven't engaged in any such things and haven't really seen anything too awfully bad in anyone else's posts either.
But, then again, like I said, I must be thick as a brick.
I started this thread not to talk about "other forums," but rather to say that too much red and yellow hurts my aging eyes and makes me feel a trifle warm.

I was wondering the same thing. I saw Νεκτάριος post and was trying to figure out what he was referring to.
