Ivan Wrote:Ed, I am sure you are a nice guy and I don't want to argue with you. I don't mind debate or speaking frankly. I do wish you would tone it down a bit though, e.g. asking if I speak English in this response.
And, here I thought you were talking to my wife and found out that I am not a nice guy after all. :rolleyes:
I only asked if you spoke and understand English because some members who do not have English as a first language may misunderstand the nuances of English phraseology. I was going to get a member, from whatever country of your origin, who spoke English to help translate.
Though, I can see that you might have been reading my words like I was Satan, and it drove your understanding. In that I cannot really blame you. :)

I also believe you have a right to your opinion and I apologise if I've upset you in any way, it wasn't intended.
Glad you have come to that conclusion. I am more against the machine than any one individual. I hope that I never gave you the impression that you could not state your belief. I believe in clarity.
Though, I believe in what I have written I know that saying them over and over does get tedious.
Bury the hatchet?
Can I be in the other room when you do? ;)

I wish you all the best,
I, too, would never leave the club over a silly argument.
I might have considered leaving but, not due to anyone's words.
I also wish you the best.
