But, you mustn't get lost in the process. Sometimes, you should go back a bit to avoid any one-way streets to find the right way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, because your recent posts were considered shouting to me (in my opinion), since they contained the words of "Do not disappoint me!" "You're completely on the wrong track!" etc., unless you were advising me or something like that. Edited September 1, 2022 by mina7601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroSkipper Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 @mina7601! Being honest, having a real opinion and standing by it are the things that matter. Everyone has to find their own way and not constantly follow others. And that sounds easier than it really is. To be more clear, the way is the goal and not necessarily the goal itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, it is a long and hard way I can promise you. I am more than three times your age and believe me I know what I am talking about. 1 hour ago, mina7601 said: Well, because your recent posts were considered shouting to me (in my opinion), since they contained the words of "Do not disappoint me!" "You're completely on the wrong track!" etc. Ok! I will try to speak as clearly as necessary! I am a Frisian and a man of strong character in his prime. I am more than three times your age. My profession is based on a large field of teaching. My subjects are maths, biology, chemistry, Latin, and marginally, physics and informatics. So, what do you want to teach such an experienced person in your age of 16 years? Your answer about my English language skills was far from polite. And, you have taken the wrong tone towards someone much older and more experienced than you. BTW, there was no shouting in my post! This is complete nonsense. Shouting means capitalization, and there was none. You are talking to considerably older men here in this forum, among others, and it's not about sensitivities. Logically, plain language is spoken here, in a polite way, of course!. You can't be much squeamish about it. And, the imperative mood used was more a request. Anyway, I thought you'd be a good guy. Should I have been mistaken about you? Be honest and say what you are thinking now!

Honestly , I think you're just waisting your precious time talking to someoene from another planet . See , there are European values ... and the rest. Just a friendly reminder to everyone : there's always "ignore user" button available. Well , unfortunately it's not a complete "block" , like in the good ol' days.

And my post was talking about forum moderation with all moderators generally, not just Dave-H only moderating the forum BTW. I see. I see . Unfortunately, I still don't understand . Could this be due to the way you write in English ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminded me when in 2008 I refused to pay a huge fee for a British "university" , where they had a (Portugeese or smth like that) teachers . Yes, I'm not paying to someone who is a-non native British speaker. My money , my choice. Just like quasi sensor , lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Well Portuguese literature (among many actual masterpieces) originated the immortal "English as she is spoke": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_as_She_Is_Spoke and - though not proved - we might have been deprived of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_Hungarian_Phrasebook particularly, the very common and useful sentence "My hovercraft is full of eels." would probably have never been coined, and "Please fondle my buttocks" would have been far less used. jaclaz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouting is not one of their traits. And, you have to do very bad things to upset a Frisian and make him angry. But, woe betide if you do!

AstroSkipper Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 And very important for a Frisian is to enjoy a cup or can of strong black tea called East Frisian Tea. And, exactly that I am going to do now. To all, have a nice day! Read you later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
