    I sort of expect people to see things my way, and get frustrated when they don't, especially when its something that seems obvious to me. Everyone has their own ideals and experiences that shape those ideals.

    I haven't been posting much lately (bacause my dad is very sick and I've been helping care for him) but I do get impatient with certain posters and can be snarky and sarcastic. I miss you guys and hope to have more time for posting very soon.

    Well, I dunno, apart from being perfect - I have problems with understanding a lot of American things, and I guess I judge them by general Australian/British values. And I do sometimes nit-pick a lot of the language used here - but only cos when I use it, I get told off at home and at school for using 'Americanisms'. I also sometimes react too strongly to things which I think are unfair.

    I guess there's loads more but I can't think of it at the moment.

    I can be a dick too. I enjoy tipping sacred cows and offending contemporary sensibilities. In my defense I do it well. There is an art to it after all.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I was viciously atacked by a group of conservative posters and one prominent liberal in hour one of day one of my membership in this forum. The attack stance of most of them continues to this day. So, I apologize for nothing.

    You get the Bethere you deserve.

    Am I perfect? No. Is my behavior understandable and maybe even justifiable? I believe it is.

    Please don't summon me with @ to threads such as this in the future.

    Thanks, Jim.

    Lol, I was wondering who would come up with that first. This, like every other internet forum, exists in international cyber-space - so it is not a US forum, no matter where the server is located. That the majority of members are American does not make it so either. Only if membership is limited to those with US citizenship, could it become a US forum. I am a member of a couple of games forums - one in the UK, and the other in Russia, and neither claim to be British or Russian.

    But anyhow - forget your nationalism - I was explaining why I sometimes question US words. At no time did I tell Americans to use the Queen's English. If you just want to pick a fight - go find someone else and/or another topic. I was apologising for my faults - if you did Latin, you would know that is what 'Mea Culpa' means.
