Buddy,

I've read dozens of your posts and there is nothing wrong with your English. We all make spelling mistakes, get our grammar wrong, and occassionaly misunderstand expressions which we only ever hear rather than read.

I myself make such mistakes all the time, its perfectly normal. As you know its the Australian way to take the piss and make a joke about it. Having English as a second language isn't a handicap and assuming that your native language writing skills are as good as your English skills then I suggest you are probably more capable than most of us.

Little if anything here is personal. Its a bunch of people out to discuss and debate the facts, learn from what others have discovered and their analysis, etc. Sure there are some other other agendas but they are few in numbers.

Not everything you ever say is going to be welcomed with open arms by everybody in the HC community. The only people here who haven't been given a broadside for something that they have said at some point are those that simply don't post.

We all have the right to say what we think (within the guidelines) but everybody else has an equal right to reply beit positive or negative. That is the nature of forumns such as this and helps to ensure we get a decent balance. It would be pretty one sided if you or I could say something and nobody was allowed to critique it.

All I'm saying Buddy is keep posting but don't look at responses as a personal attack. If people respond it means they have actually read what you have written and been moved to write their own thoughts in response. The worst thing that can happen is that nobody reads your posts and they illicit no response whatsoever. This would make posting pointless wouldn't it.

One final point buddy. Your views may well be right. I know all of mine are lol. But not everybody is going to share them. The more controversial the comment the more reaction you should expect. We should all know this when we post.

Good luck with your posting. I really hope that we don't offend you further. I say with all honesty that is not the intent of the vast majority of posters but as an anomymous forumn it really isn't possible to consider everybodys background. Here we are all pretty much treated equally and thats the way it should be.
