she �s our German Sherlock Holmes...she knows her stuff...

LOL...

I just read the latest chapter of this great saga.... Nice try Cenk Candarli�. �I also personally met some teachers and artists who develop the products." Did you meet Prof. Dr. P.W. Nelson too?  I work in a university part time which has a fairly detailed database of all international tenured Professors. So I thought I would enter his name under publications and tenurships�. Guess what? He doesn�t exist�.

IT IS� ANNOUNCED�

ON 2 GREAT ENGLISH-TURKISH FORUM !

First of all, thank you for helping me to reconsider the way I �m welcomed here. At first I was disappointed by the prejudice, but later on the scenary is gradually transformed to a  "cirque de ridicule".

I �d like to answer in two parts which will address two type of audience residing in here. The first part is for the members with a common sense who either replied kindly or didn �t reply at all.

For some time I was bothered by the fact that most of my students are growing a tendency of accepting internet as a single source of information. I was trying to teach them the value of other references, methods of double or triple checking for what they see/learn/hear. So for me it �s a natural thing to call afs after reading all this stuff.

Don �t blame me for not putting a worksheet to the esl site, I don �t need to. Regardless of being a teacher myself, I �m not interested in creating worksheets or using them as a teaching aid. I heard about the issue in a few teachers � community sites and I wanted to learn the truth from its sources. One was reading the posts in esl, the other was calling afs. So I don �t need to upload worksheets for expressing my thoughts unless you are a tribe of worksheet zealots ! Banishing the ones who don �t belong to the cult ! That �s what one of the members asked from the webmaster. "Ban his account !".

Anyway now I have the information from two sides and confidently decide for my direction. But can you ?

But I �m still waiting for the one who is going to set the pinnacle by proving with a kabbalah method that letters of cenk in fact equals to afs. I �m sure our weekend detectives don �t lack that flair.

Oh, and by the way, your ingenious deduction also led me to think that you are all the same person, because you all use the same font !!

I think I gave you enough material above to help you running your freak show. I �m curious to read the next gems.

Like always, again I �m writing my post in a word processor and then I �m going to copy this. I think that �s what someone respecting the readers should always do. Oh, again, don �t forget the Kabbalah, that �s the doorway to my secrets !

I had promised myself not to post any more comments in the forum about the AFS case. Some of you seem to be very worried about certain comments against this publishing house. It has never been my intention to insult, judge or condemn AFS. I�m a teacher, not a lawyer or a judge. I have the right to express my feelings and have tried to do it respectfully but I don�t think a thief deserves kind words.

After reading cenkcan�s posts, I cannot help writing here again what most of you must know by now, but a few, like cenkcan seem to be too blind to see.

The facts are these:

1�-AFS opened two accounts, which is against the rules of this site. Using one of these accounts, they wrote me two pms with lame excuses, claiming that their books were only trial ones.

2�- Apart from stealing worksheets and publishing them in at least five of their books, they also stole wss from other members and uploaded them on ESL Printables.

3�-They opened a third account and appeared in the forum threatening with sending us to court.

4�-They have never apologised and have excused themselves saying that there were not any rules in ESL printables that clearly stated they couldn�t take other people�s work and publish it as their own, which is absolutely false.

5�-Not only have they not apologised, but also have been so arrogant as to state they can produce even better materials than the ones they stole. ( why did they steal our work then?)

6�-They also claim they have uploaded unique materials in ESL printables and other sites. Where are they? They have never provided any information, where are the links to those materials? As far as I am concerned a publishing house sells material, they don�t share them for free as we do in ESL Printables.

7�-They also made up a story in which they told us an English teacher was the one who had sold them the worksheets

8�-I have two of the books and no credit has been given to any of the authors of the stolen worksheets. They are making money with something we shared so generously. What would you think of anybody who stole things from a charity organisation and then sold them to earn money?

9�-They say they have withdrawn the books and have made new ones. What proof do we have of this? I have just been informed by the person who bought the books for me in a bookshop that these books are still being sold.

10�A publishing house publishes books to make money. How stupid do you think we are when you want to make us believe that now you are giving those books for free? How comes that a thief suddenly turns into such a generous person?

I believe in facts, and the facts prove what AFS is. If I believed in fairy tales, then I could think Cenkcan�s story is true. I�m not a Sherlock Holmes and I don�t need to be him to know who is lying and who is telling the truth.

Once again I want to thank you for your support.

Have a good day/night. Hugs!
