Election thread is closed. Still I'd like to say a few words to its participants.
Sadly, my English prevents me from complete understanding your points of view, guys. But the fact the discussion has turned into a market place quarrel certainly upsets me.
Deb, you were the first one to launch this election thread. And now you are like, “Why do you come here? This is a language forum.” I don’t understand. Though I agree that 14 was not absolutely correct, too.
People bring up various topics here. Sometimes they speak about the acutest things like religion, homosexualism, nationalism. These issues have always made people a little catty. We can either smooth things over, stay in peaceful mood and enjoy each other's company or spoil our day.
It’s not that I’m so perfect and always am that wise. It’s just because it’s so obvious when you are an onlooker.
