Jens of the desert Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I believe I also owe you an apology then too, Moo. Whilst I don't know what HoT said (and people are making it out to be pretty terrible) I now look back at what I myself said and am very sorry if it genuinely hurt your feelings.

Captain Enema Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I wasn't even aware anything had happened to Moo. Get well soon man and good on you HoT for stepping up to the plate to give a public mea culpa. Won't say much as as others before me have hit on all the proper points. As an ESL teacher, currently squatting in Coastal China and hoping to heck that the Japanese reactor doesn't explode and spew radiation all over me, I'm quite enthused by the non-Engirshee speaking portion of our community. I've watched Fok with amusement for quite sometime. I find NEW interesting as well. No real sense is making fun of someone's written English unless you can demonstrate native proficiency in a second language yourself. Even then it is a bit tasteless to heckle a non-native speaker. Heckle the contents of the message and not the way the message is written. Anyhow, off point ramble over. Get well soon Moo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karolina Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 The CN community isn't very forgiving towards non-English speakers as a rule, so this doesn't surprise me. Still, apologies are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite a simple thing to avoid doing. You can express your opinions without taking shots at people. [/quote] You will be wandering the wastes and perhaps pass on to the great beyond thirsty.

Hiro Nakara Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 [quote name='AAAAAAAAAAGGGG' timestamp='1300345669' post='2667422'] Alls well that ends well. As a sidenote, MVP and d34th, I wouldnt have known English was your 2nd language if you hadn't announced it in threads before. You guys are very good at English and I think it's time you dropped blaming it as being a 2nd language as an excuse because most native speakers still can't use it all that well. [/quote] Surely you would have noticed English is not my first language either? If not then I must try harder Also it takes a better man to apologise for being a total !@#$% bag, well done HoT.

Sartorius Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I agree with most of the said. English native speakers often don't understand how difficult it is to learn and speak a foreign language because English is spoken everywhere. Discussing and with that presenting arguments in a foreign language is even more difficult. I hope that in the future people refrain from mocking others because of their errors. Rather mock them because of the content Good luck Moo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Brendan Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm somewhat skeptical of all the people saying they didn't realize D34th wasn't a native English speaker, he does make a very good effort but sometimes his syntax is really hilarious. [size="1"](don't hurt me D34th I love you![/size]) Definitely better than my Portuguese though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ilyani Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I suppose I don't count since I moved to an English speaking country at a pretty young age, but English isn't my first language either.

HeroofTime55 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 [quote name='Chickenzilla' timestamp='1300412658' post='2668579'] HoT. That was !@#$@#$ low of you. [/quote]It was ignorant, but no harm was intended. Hence my quick apology when I realized what happened, one which Moo has been so gracious to accept. This is a matter between me and Moo, a man who I consider a good friend. But real classy of you (And a small handful of others in this thread, you know who you are) to take your pot-shots over this incident.
