I do value SMS's experience and many of his useful postings. I really appreciate his time to help fellow humans.
However, since I joined this forum I wanted to drive this one particular message to him. Hope he got it.
Lets treasure our limited time in this world by not engaging hatred feelings towards people just because they are from 3rd world or they don't write good English.[/quote]

Hey look, I've raised the nitpicking issue with him and he's taken it in his stride. Plus no ones perfect right!
As for your point about "engaging hatred" I don't get it at all. When I read statements like these its just indicative of persecution mania of some kind! Nobody hates you cause you don't speak good English. People might just find it difficult to have a conversation with you and may limit conversation at worst but hatred is a pretty strong word dude.
The problem is when you take criticism too personally. if someone criticises your language skills, please recognise and appreciate that they are uncomfortable with just "that part". It doesn't translate into anything more...weird how you should imagine it means they hate you/dislike you/want to avoid you.
Like they say in Hindi "Dil pe mat le yaar!"

My postings are based on my observation of his reply to other's postings. So there is no such thing as taking it to personal....Read this thread from the beginning or search this forum.
