Oh, and to the original poster: You are now tangling horns with some of the people most likely to decry real statements of racial intolerance when they are posted here. You can do what you like, but it looks like a waste of energy and a means of alienating potential allies you might want on your side in the future.

On the other hand, this IS only an internet forum (and one dedicated to a rather narrowly defined subculture at that) where anonymous people portray caricatures of themselves. So statements made here don't quite carry the same weight as in real life ... or even on forums where people stand behind their real names.

Alan rightly has Vin's statements highlighted in his signature because she is a racist, has made blatantly racist statements (like the ones in his signature, which you agree are racist) and she denies that anything she's said is racist. I believe her defense is that since she is just expressing her opinion, it can't be racist.

That kind of thinking MUST be called out in any venue it appears in. I have Alan's signature copied and saved to my computer. If Alan ever has cause to remove it from his signature, and Vin has not acknowledged her statements were racist, I may add her remarks to my sig.

And you should stop asking Alan to remove the sig. It makes it look like you support racists.
Then start a proper capitalization, punctuation and sentence structure 101 thread pretty lady! If that's what you really want.

Is it really that hard to understand that there are even people here in our country who can't understand English? I've had enough of this you guys. I'm just giving my own opinions here, and you keep on posting how bad my English is.

It isn't my fault I wasn't born in your beautiful country.

You obviously only read the first two sentences; otherwise how could you fucking misunderstand this part:
"More importantly, they frequently don't make sense. Or they sometimes seem to indicate that you lack an understanding of what others are saying."

Fuck off.

Am I really the only one who doesn't make sense in here?

If yes, then I apologize. Seriously.

I know I'm not that smart but I'm just trying my best to share my opinions; which was I thought to be the real purpose of this site.

If you hate me for being dumb, that's cool.

But for being illiterate in your language? That ain't right

The purpose of this site is not to share your opinions, the purpose is to share Alan's.

Molly, that's pretty funny.

Jethro, I'm not supporting criticism of people who are conversing in English as a second language. Many people here do so. Sometimes we have to work a little to overcome misunderstandings that arise due to cultural differences.

But you have to know if you're a strong enough swimmer before you jump into the deep end of the swimming pool. Having an opinion isn't the problem. Wanting to express it is not the problem. Wanting to express it in an English speaking forum with broken English that is so bad it makes you hard to understand - that is the problem.

I speak conversational Spanish fairly well. It got me everywhere I needed to go when I traveled to Tenerife. But I know better that to jump into a Spanish speaking forum and criticize someone's political views or debate their tastes in music. It would be arrogant to do so with my current skill level, especially if I insisted they make allowances for me because it's not my native language. So I won't do that unless I polish up my Spanish skills a bit.

Don't apologize for having an opinion. Don't apologize over whatever your intelligence level may be. Do work on improving your English.

Is it really that much of a bother if someone speaks broken English?

Interesting question. If they do, and I have trouble understanding them on a regular basis (and lots of people here have expressed difficulty in understanding Jethro), and I tell them that their English is so bad that they are hard to understand, that seems fair. And frankly, there can be more than one explanation for people posting in broken English.

Are you asking because you don't think it's important to understand them or because you think it should be easy to ignore them or because the fact that they're communicating but we are not understanding them should not be a source of frustration?

vxj is a thai, korean chic or something... guess that's why she feels compelled to dispute any racial statement she's made in the past. In her defense, I've actually tried to be offensive and nothing. No one ever says anything.

Nope. Amazingness, like awesomeness, is detractable upon someone having to claim it instead of letting it go unsaid. Kinda like an ugly girl saying she's "cute".
