I WORK, and have precious little time to read whole threads on any subject. Some people evidently have the TIME to hang on the net all day every day reading EVERYTHING on FR verbatim. I don't, and my observation was a personal one meant to answer some of the negative replies I have been receiving from Anglophiles on the thread reading perceived insults in my comments. . even accusing me of criticizing British TEETH for goodness sake!! . . and NO, I didn't even mention British teeth as my own are nothing to write home about!
PLEASE KINDLY stop issuing me orders on what I must do unless you are in charge of this forum; and if that is the case I am afraid I cannot continue to contribute in whatever meager ways I have the time or resources to contribute (either financially or in forum.)
I cannot speak for anyone other than myself giving you negative responses, so from my point of view ... I certainly cannot be described as an Anglophile; I am English 100%. I do, however have some significant, IMHO connections with the US - it annoys me no end that people like you, who as members of this forum I assume to be rational, cannot spend the time to gather the facts before entering a debate. If that is what you normally do, then I am not surprised that you often receive negative responses from those you consider to be anglophile.
I am certainly not a moderator of this forum. I am merely requesting that you and everyone else exercises a certain amount of decorum, and puts a certain amount of research into their responses. I do, however find it bizarre that you choose a post from an unknown to make it known that you no longer have the time or the money for this forum.
I do not cintribute personally to the upkeep of this site, but my household does, and we find it possible to work full days, make the time to do our background reading, and not to rant when uneccessary.
