Quoting peace train:

Oh dear . . . I’m not taking my own advice and now I am rising to the bait. Seems you "assumed" I was attacking you.
I only said “I am not accusing you of anything here btw, I am sure your motives for being on TC are honourable.” Because I thought you may be offended my previous sentence and no offence was intended. I tried to cover all bases and it obviously failed. "motive" = wrong choice of word = peace train in the dog house.

Quoting peace train:

Not that you will wish to be bothered but if you do bother to look at my ‘post’ archive, the majority of it is related to learning about Turkey and it’s language. I use the language lessons too . .

Quoting peace train:

In fact I have made some lovely friends on this site and learned quite a bit. But occasionally I like a different sort of entertainment and so I tune in to some of the threads . . . they are so much more entertaining than the best comedy TV has to offer .

Quoting peace train:

Hmmm . . . don’t lecture you . . . hmm . . . seems to me that the written word is devoid of intonation or expression at times and people assume they are being attacked or lectured . . . that really wasn’t the intention. But your response provides more entertainment . . . don’t get your knickers in such a knot . . . take a chill pill .

Quoting peace train:

try not to lecture people on how to use the TC site . It's nobody's business but their own Try to keep on topic . Try to use the right topic forum for your needs . Try to heed your own advice . Oh and try not to ‘assume’ anything about anything I’ve said. I believe the words ‘assume’ and ‘assumption’ are standard vocabulary in many arguments on some TC threads. Assume whatever you wish from that comment

Quoting peace train:

You are soooooooooooo easy to wind up.

Quoting peace train:

Hang on . . . I’m putting my waterproof outfit on again because I fear I may get rock buns and flapjacks pelted at me now instead of jelly and ice cream. Pity . . . because I’m partial to bread and butter pudding and you won't oblige with such friendly fire.

Hey . . . we all use TC for whatever our needs . . . just try not to get embroiled in discussions that go nowhere . . . it's not good for the blood pressure . I note you have made many admirable observations in discussions you have participated in but there are people out there who get entertainment from cranking you up. Ditch the exclamation marks and smile !!!!!!! (oops)

btw the above paragraph is merely there as an experiment . . . so . . . if you felt your BP rising and an urge to hit the exclamation mark key . . . I proved my theory.

I’m off to make my own bread and butter pudding, so that’s me done on this topic.

Take care

Quoting AEnigma III:

I also apologise for my exclamation marks which seem to upset you - they are, along with my use of CAPITALS instead of italics, and my favourite '-' instead of ';' part of my wonderful literary style and I am reluctant to change them after all these years

Quoting girleegirl:

Don't apologize for using exclamtion marks!!!!!!!!! I LOVE exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh....and using these................................

Quoting E.T.K.O:

to Aenigma III , if you are not a Christian , crusaders are none of your business.
Probably you are calling yourself as an Agnostic. If it so, there is no such a drivel civilization on today's world global speech. Despite of all these, did my prior post poke you ? You know , when throw away your Agnostism , nothing will left from you Btw, i'd rather a clever foe than thousands of dumb friends. But you are not either.
