Some people have poor grammer / spelling possibly because they didn't benefit from a 'good' education for whatever reason, their posts may be harder to read but it's not impossible and I don't find them offensive .  I do find that some posters on some forums can come over as a bit sharp (unless I am just too sensitive!) and I don't really see the need for that. IMO how a message is conveyed  is more important than the full stops.    Report

What is important is 'being there' for people who have questions, problems etc and to help them out to the best of ones ability and hope that others will do the same when you have a problem or whatever.

I will not apologise because I told the truth something at the time you failed to do although unlike you I see absolutely no reason to bring the whole subject up again. In fact I had forgotten all about it till you brought it up. I don't hide behind an exclusive forum that is not available to the general public and insult just about everyone in this forum and another French forum unlike yourself. It took you 12 minutes to make a post there called "Pass the sick bucket Alice" (whoever Alice is, I have no idea) with a direct link to my post and those after it (what on earth have Sweat 17 and Lorna ever done to you) and also gave a link in your post here to a website that explains how to use an apostrophe, childish or what? I shall leave our members to make their own mind up on that one. I also notice that you were quick (not) to jump on the person who made an extremely racist and rude comment about Belgians (that's a clue for you by the way) yet jumped up and down because somebody told an Irish joke here. Sadly I see some of your friends can't even spot a such a racist comment even when its in their face. Next I guess we will be told it was a joke. I think I will let others judge your motives for themselves. And yes I am a member there and yes I read the posts and yes I have copied them in case I need them in the future and yes I expect that when you find out who I am you will ban me even though I have never made a post there so can never have done anything wrong. If you want to ban me there just because you don't like me then it just adds to my argument that you support censorship and unfair moderation something of which you and your friends are so keen to whinge about here. I am afraid you can't have your cake and eat it. Personally I have no intention of answering your comments any further as to do so is a total waste of time and effort and is also disruptive to this forum. I do expect you however to post again as you always have a way of having the last word even though by your standards we are to intellectually challenged and won't understand what on earth you are going on about. Although directed at you I shall take one of your own forum members advice and 'give it a rest', I suggest you do the same before you dig a hole you can't get out of. http://www.chambresdhote.com    Report

I'm glad you've copied the posts - what are you planning to do with them? Regards Dick Smith Nowhere is there warmth to be found Among those afraid of losing their ground    Report
