You could try answering the main point, for a start...

The main point and reason I posted is:

Hayward's posts tend be nasty, especially towards non-native English language speakers. Others are also very nasty, and a lot of this goes unchecked.

Interesting....yet when Philiped criticised Chivas for his spelling you made no such attempt to nobly defend him.....I don't know Chivas but there is a chance English is not his first language, but I guess you nobly decided to keep quiet about that because Philiped is 'on your side'.......sniff....sniff....you smell that?.......smells like hypocricy.

Taildragger...you are grasping at straws. Like most I edit when I want to change or add something, as now. That's what the Edit function is for, believe it or not.

And you have still not answered the main point. This might be because you are not able to. Or it might be because you do not wish to. And would prefer a slanging match.

BTW, I think Chivas is Canadian and his grasp of English is very good. In fact, as good as yours.

Trying to take pot-shots at me or my use of English (which is at least on a par with yours) is a sort of admission that the nastiness charge stands. You haven't seemed able to answer it. Nor has Hayward. And as before, nastiness masks the true state of play, from which we all suffer (that is the real justification, if there should be one).

And as elsewhere, the patronising tone wont wash. Sunbeam. And after having tried the fancy-pants tack, you're trying the 'sniff...sniff' schoolyard variety.

I dont know why you got involved in the first place, other than to try and score some irrelevent points (which you have not).

I've made my point and de-railed this thread enough. Now you have some time to think up a suitably withering put-down (God please make it wittier than the last)

Falstaff... chill out!

It's only a game and, when all is said and done, it's only a matter of not getting along with some people on a forum of all things.

It's not the end of the world.

Use your passion... take up politics or something! Change the world and try and make it a better place.

Whatevva!!.....now put the skull down and take of those ridiculous tights, Sunbeam? aww how sweet...I'm your little ray of sunshine, I will restate that any authority I had to post was the same as yours, there is an imbalance happening here, first whiners, followed by the anti-whiners, subsequently the anti-whiner whiners, meanwhile genuine forum users have to sift through pages of this crap.

Falstaff....I 'DID' answer your main point, it was about the unfair methods of some to pull no english speakers up on spelling, I gave you an answer, Chivas may or may not be canadian, he may or may not be a 'French speaking' canadian, I have no idea.
