Indeed,a thread CAN be created out of courtesy to other individuals that cannot speak English that well, but it would be wise to at least give a heads up that this person can't speak English. Tell me though, if their English isn't too great, how do they understand the thread?
| quote: | I don't doubt the fact that many people can speak more than one language but it is YOU who misses the point  These people are speaking in a different language BECAUSE they can't speak ENGLISH VERY WELL |
Once again, but they can somehow understand an entire thread, but cannot respond a sentence in English?
| quote: | | (See Bronze for instance)...they neither want to show off their skills nor care whether you think they're badasses or hot shit...they simply express their views in the language they best communicate in because their english is not that good and then hope that someone will understand them and answer them... |
Third time, but somehow even though their English is a failure, but they can understand the complexity of each thread in this forum?
| quote: | | THUS, I hardly think that's something to berrate them about...granted, I have used French in two or three posts to respond to Bronze's post in one thread, but believe me, that neither interrupted the flow of the debate nor took away from anyone's enjoyment from the discussion since we weren't discussing anything of any depth! |
Interesting, because I wasn't the only one to complain. Perhaps you should go back and read other posts.
| quote: | Furthermore, I only used french as opposed to english for the sake of COURTESY (i.e. returning the favour), not to show off my language skills as you claim (completely erroneously may I add). But I promise you, if indeed the urge to show off my language skills does come, I will make sure to warn you before with CAPITAL LETTERS since you are obviously incapable of telling  |
Actually no. Perhaps you cannot read a single word of what I said, or perhaps you are simply ignoring it. I was discussing the problem at hand having been that this general discussion is given in English, and if someone responds in another language, and no one is willing to translate, then all purposes of this debate have ultimately failed, because then it becomes a simple conversation between two people.
I'm not hounding on an individual for speaking in another language if they cannot speak in English, but like I said (this will be the fourth time now) I find it quite difficult to believe that someone can read the entirety of a thread and not be able to respond. I think you're underestimating his ability.
| quote: | | I am neither trying to look like a badass nor anything else for that matter. If that's your perception of me, I really don't give a rat's ass, as your opinion is completety inconsequential to me |
I love how you repeatedly respond to one sentence that I stated. Find something else to repeat.
| quote: | | I only responded to your thread initially because this is the second time (the Nellie thing was the first) |
Actually, I don't think I ever told Nellie how to act or what to do. And if I did, Excuse me for my forgetfulness. Actually, take a look, I think many more people than just me disagreed with Nellie's statements. And in fact, I do believe I was debating with her on an actual subject, not telling her what to do. I think my extent may have been to not use the bible as a source. Once again, why don't you take a look at how many people debated against Nellie before you accuse me of trying to tell someone what to do.
| quote: | | you feel the need/urge to tell people how to act, what to do and what no to do, on grounds that, objectively, are simply not there. |
Actually, it is your fault you mistook my post. I merely said that it was unfair to people who did not understand the language for someone to be posting in a different language to a primarily English based debate. And if you think that's telling someone what to do, what are you doing in this forum? Are you going to tell me that telling someone to use legitimate sources is also a method of telling people how to act/what to do? This is how the forum works, get used to it.
| quote: | | Finally, I assure you that there are enough posters here that feel my comments and contribution in general to this forum are anything BUT ignorant, |
I pointed out a specific post. Not your entire history of posting. Please read correctly next time.
| quote: | | so again, you can keep those specific opinions to yourself, or stuff them where the sun don't shine |
Read above comment.
| quote: | | If that makes me 12 in your mind, then imagine how old that makes you in my mind. |
Once agian, you mistook my post, and I comment on your post which was commenting on mine. Perhaps you should realize, that not everyone is going to agree in a debate.
| quote: | | And if that makes me arrogant, then so be it. I wouldn't talk if I were you |
Oh wait, you're telling me what to do!!!! Hypocrite!!!!
See how easy it is to misuse that word? Perhaps you should check the context of the statement you are commenting on before using words such as "hypocrite", because your usage of it was ridiculous and pointless.
