Could someone explain to me why Trudy has left? She seemed to be enjoying the site, I couldn't figure out...

come on, silly fascist, we are labelled everyday.
we should be above all that. |
Well, IMHO some people may like to throw insults at each other, but many of us don't. I don't expect to be talked to rudely, and I try not to talk rudely to others.
I am astounded at the comments that some classmates receive when they send things for translation. I get many p.m.s asking for translation saying "I don't dare put this on the open forum as I will get losts of insults."
Sadly, Trudy is not the only person who has (or could have) made great contributions to the site but has given up because no one has to put up with being insulted. I know of two expats who have vast experience in Turkey who didn't stay in class longer than one week because of the antics of the small group who think they are smart insulting others.
Trudy, I loved your posts and your contributions. I hope you return.
How about a reverse coup? Those of us who are serious about learning Turkish (do you ever see the insulters able to answer a single question about Turkish language??? or an indepth issue about Turkish culture or history e.g. one that doesn't involve behaviour of waiters) will just start to trash the insulters, and tell them to go and spoil Gujurati Class or Mongolian Class instead.
Maybe then great contributors like Trudy will return .... until then, I don't think we deserve her.

I think you are a fantastic member of this site Marion and contribute so much. However, I had not realised we could only join in discussions as "worthy" members. I don't see the many "insults" posted here that you see.

Frankly I find sexist comments insulting and rude - but my protesting of them seems to be considered ruder!

If you can see that somebody is being duped or conned it is hard to stay neutral. In addition, I see none of these girls attempting to learn Turkish.

Well I certainly remember ONE of your expat friends - who managed to include/promote the name of your bookshop in just about every post. I think we commented on it but nobody insulted her.

Well, if I am the reason for Trudy leaving then I will happily step aside if it means her returning.
