And I guess being British makes you thick skinned as well. This is the way we are. Maybe instead of us having to think all the time that ´certain people´ might be insulted by our (to us) fairly innocuous comments, those people should learn to realise that from us these comments don´t have the same offensive value they seem determined to perceive and learn to stop taking so much offence to them. Why do we have to change the way we are used to speaking? We aren´t in an Eastern country tempering our language/speech for the sake of politeness - we are on a website basically set up to teach foreigners the Turkish language. Well maybe we Brits and Americans should just carry on insulting each other in our normal friendly way and let the rest of them sit back in horror!
Certain people ?!!!hmmmmm
Ok,and why do WE have to take your comments as fairly innocent comments ´to you´ and not understand it as offensive commenst ´to us´ ?
Why dont you learn to be sensetive ´as you call us´ as we are´?
Why do we have to change the way we think?
What would make your ways are the right ways and not ours?
We are not in an Western country so we have to adapt to how you think/behave/believe.
We are on a website basically set up to teach foreigners the Turkish language
Foreigners,dont have to be just Brits and Americans you know,there are other people too in the universe.
Beside who teach you/us the Turkish language here,are Turks too.
See,that wont take us anywhere will it ?!

- all I can say is that if there is someone who ´doesn´t like anything´ (presumably about the site) then maybe they shouldn´t be here.

I think handsom´s comment about paranoia was somewhat innocent. Perhaps Canli could have just accepted that it wasn´t a personal insult to her or any other easterner and handsom could have gracefully apologized for any "perceived" wrong doing? Do we need to start having tribunals to determine what is insulting and what is not?
