See, you have chosen to take offense, as though that is my fault. Remember, I cannot offend you, you must choose to take offense. And when you do so, you give me power over you.
Now it's becoming quite interesting, This little debate may even release you of your traumatised state of mind, "Thick Skinned" which you admit to, is quite prevalent. Your insensitivity to others, for no other reason than your own sense of humour is quite a disturbing trait.
Please enlighten us of the crap you suffered, to defend your beliefs? what crap? and what are your beliefs?
You certainly haven't offended me! But maybe the op of the thread could have been offended, was that your sarcastic intention? to seek power over English speaking people, that are not so well versed has yourself.
Tell me, in your school days, was you the bully or the bullied, it appears that you really do have a insensative streak within you.
From my posts, you should notice I am a defender of the weak, I do not agree bullies, biggots, aristocrats, or other humans, should take advantage of people that have a weakness to defend themselves.
My point is, you should be helping or advising people or simply monitoring the threads, rather than abusing your authority, of deleting a thread simply because you find the reply to your comments rubbish.
I am genuinely not offended by your remarks and sarcasm, and quite often i do enjoy your posts, I neither request any kind of apology.. You have your opinion and i have my opinion.
If you felt any guilt whatsover, you would have apologised to the original poster for your sarcastic remark, But there again, you have admitted to being thick skinned, which i assume is a insensitivity to others, for some reason only you know about.
And to be honest with you I have nothing against Americans, beeing ex military I have socialised, discussed, and defended myself against many over enthusiastic Americans, that believe they are invincable, A little like the aristocratic officers in the British Army, it's quite a sport when they bite, hook, line and sinker.
We are all human, and if humans are to keep the peace, then respect must be earned, and everyone should have their say. without being oppressed by illussions of grandeur,
