On that note, thank you for all your contributions thus far, albeit under different aliases and with different email addresses:)

What lies in libraries but lies, anyone ever tell you that bookworm. You’re pick-apart-able, not just to the bone or marrow, but anatomically at cellumolecular detail. I was being rude, as I am now, because it warrants it, perhaps when your words elevate to a point that is sufficient suitable enough for me to engage in, I will be civil, as I am usually, for now though, you can take your high-brow attitude and consider why some of the world’s most evil tyrannical dictators got pissed-off with the middle class business men, doctors, teachers, and politicians and decided to kill them off first. I’ll tell you why, the rich from Africa and Asia went to England, got educated at oxbridge and then returned to their nations and began abusing what they were taught and corrupting their country further, Aang sung being an exception. I feel it is important you ‘middle class and I’m proud of it’ folk take heed, for it was precisely your kind of people, who rejected Hitler at Vienna art school which may have lead to his unforivable. Adjust your writing tone to quality, Alfred else working class writers will cut you to pieces just as am doing write here!!!

middle classes; the greatest set of foolish people who seem to believe they are cutting edge and inspirational to others; when you are clearly nothing of the sort.

Rarely do i have to lower my reasoning to the middle classes level, nobody lies sinking beyond the depths of hell itself.. But it looks like I am having to on this board, how else can you defeat fools except by arguing as one. Fools – the lot of you!

Alfred has summed it up quite well. You have a very different take on this matter and people respect that. You certainly cannot make your position any clearer. It is causing you to be upset and the time may have come for you to unsubscribe from comments to save you any further distress.

It is quite clear both NRIs like myself and others, and non-NRIs like Kerri, who have posted comments don’t view terms like “coconut”, “oreo” etc in quite the same way you do. It is perfectly okay for something to be blindingly obvious and self evident to one person but not to another isn’t it? That’s part of the deal in any conversation between online participants no?

So, while you do feel very strongly about this, and we respect that, I think I speak for the rest of us when I say there is no way you’re going to prove your point or change our minds – especially with the tone and language you’ve picked for your recent postings on this topic. “M[***]ER F[****]ER!!” Really, was that necessary? (Unless your goal was not to persuade but to vent your outrage and anger at our attitudes toward this subject. In which case, yes, you’re mad, we get it.)

Similarly, I don’t think any of us has any hope of changing your mind either.

One of the reasons I enjoy http://www.the-nri.com is because the people that pariticipate are unfailingly civil in their dealings with each other. How about we stick to that tradition and end this discussion at this time? Please.

“I doubt who spells kerri, you don’t have to be an FBI writing analyst to figure out the sentence structures, use of conjunctions, use of participles, commas, bracket usage, etc.”

This is the second time you’ve said something like that but I don’t get what it means. Please explain. Thank you.
