I AM A Girl, DAMMIT! A GIIIIRRRLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : All Things Final Fantasy II : One Thread

Many of you have come to the conclusion that I am a boy. That is wrong. Regardless of how my name may make it seem, I am very much of the female gender. So you can stop calling me Paco now, Santa!

*pat pat* It's ok, Piccolo. I understood that you were a girl right off the bat. Your English skills are too good for you to be anything else. (And lest you think I'm generalizing...DC, Kao and I are the only ones in this forum with consistently proper English, and we're all girls. Also, studies have shown that girls score higher in English and general language skills in school. Not to mention that on the internet girls have more consistently correct English anyway. So chill.)

EXCUSE ME Freya? Take that back before I bitch slap you upside the head. I type with excellent accuracy and grammar, usually better than half the people on the board.

But, do I flaunt it? No, because who gives a fuck about proper English? I mean, as long as I can understand what is being said (That is why sometimnes I have to yell at people like Vinnie... because I don't have a clue what he just typed), then I don't care about your "Impressive Typing Skills of Doom!". Get a grip, you stuck up bitch. This place is for gamer-talk, not your constant claims of being better than all of us.

(Oh, and for you other fine looking women? That was not directed at you, but at Freya, the runt of the pack. I have no problem with any of you, until you try and sound all high and mighty. Then I might have to knock you down a peg or two.)

*sigh* I wasn't trying to start a flame war, honestly I wasn't. I have never, EVER, NOT ONCE, claimed to be God Manifest in terms of English. Yes, I make mistakes. Frequently. To this day, I still have problems with the word "temperament" (I still don't think that extra "a" looks right). But overall, my English skills are better than 99.9% of the internetees, so I think it can be safely claimed that, in that area at least, I am fairly competent.

I also never said that girls are ALWAYS better with English NO MATTER WHAT. I said that studies have shown that, in terms of English, girls tend to score higher than boys. Please note that boys tend to score higher on math and science. It's partly natural tendency, and partly cultural influence: Girls are culturally condition to be people pleasers and verbalise their emotions, so they are stronger with language. Math is something that requires self-confidence and resilience, traits that are generally discouraged in girls. It's a CULTURAL thing. I am not to blame for the tendency with girls to have better scores in general than boys in English.

Yes, English skills ARE terribly important to me. Internet literacy is a pet "cause" of mine, and I do believe that it is one that should be spread to others. This is not a religious or moral belief I am championing, so I do not see why it should be offensive to others. It is purely democratic, and exceedingly beneficient. If I were trying to convert everyone to a particular religion, I could see how you would take offense. But I am not. My manner may be somewhat...brusque, but I do honestly have every good intention in mind.

To answer your question, I speak two languages: English and French. Admittedly, my expertise in the latter is fairly minimal, but I can read the basics. I commend you for your polylingual abilities; I work with several ladies who speak various languages (two speak English, Polish, and German, while one speaks Korean and English), and I know how difficult it is. My grandfather speaks fluent German, and I have always sort of wished I paid attention when he tried to teach me when I was little!

To finish, please do not blow what was actually an attempted compliment to the parties mentioned, way out of proportion. I was NOT trying to insult anyone. I simply mentioned what I thought to be an interesting statistic, and there was somehow a massive miscommunication.

Last knight, you said that my typing skills were "less-then satisfactory" because I didn't put periods at the end of my setences... so, big deal, the last setence doesn't have a period.

Other then that, it seems my typing skills are great. If you don't think so, kiss my ass ^_^

So, if my typing skills are bad in your eyes, what about the other people on this forum?

*sigh* You will please note, I took very careful pains to avoid attacking anyone in my post. I did not point fingers, I did not place blame. I also offered a sort of white flag, as it were. I hoped to drop the subject entirely. I even complimented Vinny on his ability to speak more than one language. My post was greeted with further attacks, backhanded acceptances of my apology, and name- calling. I'm sorry that you have taken my somewhat effusive regard of the English language to be an attempt at homogenizing the rest of the world.

This afternoon, I was meditating upon my tendency to "evangelize" (if you will forgive the comparison) everyone to correct English. Whether you believe me or not, I have overcome a change of heart and experienced a major epiphany last night as regards my entire personality. I realize it does sound very snobbish, and in the future I will do my utmost to correct this rather dogmatic aspect of my personality. I was also feeling rather guilty about this tendency. I do not, however, intend to change my entire manner of expressing myself for the convenience of others. I can honestly say that this is my speech pattern; if you do not believe me, ask DC. In return, I will sincerely avoid asking others to do the same. I am aware that it can be very difficult to alter an entire speech pattern when you are accustomed to a single one, which is why I propose a truce as regards the subject. If all forum members promise to drop the subject following this post, I will hereby promise with equal sincerity to cease harping on their English skills. This is NOT, as I suspect some will claim, an attempt to have the last word on the subject, but rather a sincere and heartfelt attempt at a truce once and for all. I don't enjoy fighting with people, least of all people whom I should like to consider my friends (especially you, Link). If you wish to take this as a sign of weakness or frailty of spirit, be that as it may; it is not intended to be as such. Again, I apologize for my manners, reiterate that this and previous posts were NOT meant as an attack on any parties, and I sincerely wish that my presence will be welcome at this forum at any future date.

Vinnie...shut your mouth before you shove your other foot in. Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, are the inly skills you have typing and belittling people? Every single one of your posts since coming back have each contained at least ONE item of un-neccisarry tripe, a comment or a swear aimed at no one, and having no meaning whatsoever to the topic at hand. Now, I do notice that I am being quite a hypocrite here by deviating off the topic of Spawn of Piccolo's gender, but that's not the point. The point is that this topic begain it's steady systematic decline when you popped up. So, for future referance, keep your flaming to pertinant topics, or risk more toungue lashings. Ass.

Grrr... *DC rolls her bloody sleeves up* ...arright. NOW I am bloody PISSED. I think I'll just reply a little here. Grrrrrrrrr...

FIRST off, Davey, learn ta keep yer mouth shut. I doubt Spawn_of_Piccolo appreciates being called a "clone" of me any more than I appreictae you bringing my name up.

Vincent? FUCK YOU. You have NO right to tear into Freya like that! It was fucking UNCALLED FOR, and it has made me lose ALL respect for you. FURTHERMORE... if you had wanted to make a decent and VALID argument against Freya's [incidentally true] comment, you should have at LEAST proofread you're goddamn REPLY because, well... YOU FUCKING PROVED HER RIGHT! You have NO conception of English or grammar, and you therefore have NO reason to argue. Here, let's look at an actual sentence from Vincent's post: "ur so dumb fuck ur english can u speak any other languges... " OKAY. Now, then, VINNIE... that "sentence" if it can even be called that, is terrible. It SHOULD have been "You are so dumb, fuck you're English. Can you speak any other languages?" There... I had to bloody correct the HELL out of that. Spelling is apparently a foregin concept to you, as is proper comma usage... and let's not get into you're painfully irritating habit of shortening words like "you" to "u." And I find it laughable that you feel you can brag about being multi-lingual, when you can't even type correctly. In case you hadn't noticed, the topic here was "boys suck at spelling and grammar," NOT "how many languages can we speak." So, to wrap this up, YOU are so fucking DUMB for not even comprehending what was said, and for taking a completely true comment and not only proving it right, but being a total ASS about it.

Kant? GUESS WHAT! It was a GENERALIZATION!!!! She did NOT say that all males have poor spelling/grammar/English skills, she merely said that most girls are better about checking their spelling and grammar than boys... which is incidentally TRUE.

Link? Right about now, I'm tempted to just not speak to you again. Please look up and read what I wrote to Kant. It was a fucking generalization, not a personal attack on you're typing/writing skills and your use of the English language. *growls*

System Overflow? I don't know you, and right now I don't fucking give a flying, flaming rat's ass in HELL. How many times to I have to say this? Redundancy, thy name is now DEMON COUGAR. It was a fucking GENERALIZATION and a PROVEN FACT. You've just made it onto my top-ten shit-list.

Magic Knight of the Dark Moon, or whatever you're long-ass name is... did Freya bring up IQs? Lemme see... NO! Time for more redundancy from the DC here... she did NOT! She made a GENERALIZATION! She did NOT attack you in any way, nor did she dispute your [probably exaggerated] IQ. She merely stated that boys tend to have less firm a grasp on grammar and English skills. God, you people must be fucking THICK...

Okay, back to Vinnie-boy. You make one more lewd comment, and I'm going to fucking lose it.

Link? It's not hard to take a single second of your time to press the damn "period" key on a keyboard. Consider it constructive critisizm, because Freya is MUCH nicer about this shit than I am.

*snarls* Back to Vincent, who seems VERY intent on earning my permanent enmity here. You wanna attack girls? Fine, pick on a bitch who's ready to fight back. Try me. Go on, attack me. Flame me publicly on the forum. You seem perfectly goddamn capable of attacking Freya, who has already apologised for her imagined offense [see, I wouldn't have apologised at all, since there was nothing wrong with what Freya posted] and who, if you were to speak to kindly, would be kind in return... let's see how you handle a REAL bitch. I... DARE... you.

And thank you, Zero... took the words out out of my damn mouth.

Spawn_of_Piccolo? Gee... I never knew you were a girl too... damn. *hugs* Sorry for the assumption.

DC : I defend myself from a "GENERALIZATION" that offends me, and you threaten never to speak to me again?

First off, you are in no way connected to this. This is between Freya and myself. She said one thing, I said one thing, she apologized, its over. No need to continue by your post which will just start a flame war.

Also, if you forgot, I was the only one who defended Freya and yourself when you two started coming to the boards. I have never been mean to you two, and I see no reason you should take what I said to a level of hatred and loathing that you shall never speak to me again.

If anything, I should be the one not talking to you guys for making that "GENERALIZATION" because it actually did hurt me very much. I take pride in my typing, and my english skills. It may be a "GENERALIZATION" but it struck me deep below the skin. Upon reading it, at first I was laughing 'cuz I couldn't believe Freya made that "GENERALIZATION" then I actually started crying. Thats just to show you how much it hurt.

Now, I don't put a period at the end of my last sentence, big fucking deal! For God's sake most of the people here don't use capitalization, any puncuation or anything! I don't put one little dot at the end of my last setence, and you people bitch at me and complain? I don't think so!

If Freya and yourself wish to preach proper typing skills, talk to the other people on this forum, not me.

Okay... since I'm already in bitch mode... here's a NEWS FLASH!!! Sarcasm doesn't work very well over the internet. Why? Because we can't hear that you are being playful and that you are just "joking." It comes across as serious and, in this case, hostile. Expect hostility in return when you forget that we can't hear you speak, and we then take your words seriously. How are we to know what is serious and what is not? Should we just NEVER take you seriously? Apparently. *growls* And Kant? You may have apologised, but I'm still pissed. Everyone jumps down Freya's throat when she makes a harmless, non-insulting remark about a proven fact, and you, instead of [God forbid!] HELPING, you CONTRIBUTE to the problem, you tried to joke around and wound up making it WORSE! In my opinion, you gave the green light to others to go ahead and pick on Freya, because, hey, if Kant can bitch her out, so can everyone else, right? That's the message I got. Pissed doesn't begin to DESCRIBE it... I am not really quick to anger... just ask Freya. I'm pretty laid-back and easygoing... I have a pretty blasé "whatever" mentality. I'm a pretty nice, calm person, really. You fucking pushed the BIG RED "PISS OFF DEMON COUGAR" button. How? You make the mistake of picking on one of my friends. I do NOT tolerate that. EVER. Nothing earns my anger faster and more certainly than attacking a friend of mine. And it irritates me when others who SHOULD be helping, like YOU, Kant, sit back and make things worse. On THAT goddamn note, WHAT do you see as being FUNNY about all this?! Why in the name of GOD did you feel like JOKING AROUND when people are harassing Freya?! *snorts* No, you have no respect left in my eyes, Kant. NONE.

Link: I'd type a reply, but after what I just said, no offense, but I don't have the bloody energy. My carpal tunnel is acting up, and I haven't eaten anything in at least two days. You think YOU got upset? When I get stressed [due to an anxiety disorder] I can't eat. I don't sleep. I start twitching and pacing neurotically. And nothing makes me more anxious than when a friend pisses me off.

Yeah it does. But guess what! My hands hurt. I used to be able to type all fucking day long... now, my hands start to hurt after just an hour or so of steady typing. Carpal tunnel is NOT fun... it feels like someone has snagged fishhooks into the back of my hands and is tugging on them, and like someone is pricking my palms with needles. That, and I broke my left hand when I was in like 5th grade, and I didn't get a cast on it... so it healed wrong. It doesn't look bad or anything, and you can't feel the bone deformity unless you squeeze my hand just right, but it means that about 75 or more of my typing is done with my right hand, since it works better... and it's mu right hand that has far worse carpal tunnel. Trust me, I had a long rant for you, but then my hands began to ache and have little sharp pains in them. I'll type more later.

I do not want to harass Freya or anyone, I love you people and i have enormous amounts of respect for you. Neither do I want to get you mad DC, I'm sorry that I didn't tell people that I disagree with the fight, I tell them that now. So anyways, I'm SORRY.

Instead of typing up mini things every few hours, just rest and type up one big thing later, its as simple as that, you will get no pity from me while we fight.

*snort* You think that resting up will help? Do you even know what carpal tunnel is???? RESTING does jack shit. It's not like running, dumbass... where you run a while, then feel sore... then have to stop. Sometimes, I can type for hours on end before I reach the level where I'm in intolerable pain and have to quit. Some days, like today, they start hurting as soon as I type out the first line. Some days, I wake up, and before I get out of bed they begin to hurt. Right now, they're okay. Hence, my typing here. I'll type for as long as I can.

Kant: I'm still pissed off. Telling people you disagree NOW, is a BIG fucking far cry from telling them before, when it might have helped. Do you know how much this has hurt me? Do you think I enjoy the feeling of pain and anxiety when one of my best friends for YEARS calls me and mentions that they're upset because people are angry with them? Do you know what kind of RAGE it puts me into when I see someone I consider a FRIEND even though I only met them online and know almost nothing about them, posting hostile things to a friend whom I have gone to SCHOOL with and been GOOD PALS with for YEARS?!? Sue me, I'm protective of my friends... so long as they don't harass each other. If you HAD been "joking" you should have posted it. In other words, you fucked up bigtime in my book, and although I give you credit for that, I won't accept any apologies untill I think I can trust you again. Right now, I don't trust you at all. You don't seem to understand what all you've done, and that irks me.

OKAY, Link? I don't really feel like arguing with you. No, I'm not apologising, I'm just not going to take the time to bother with you. Like I said, I was disgusted before, and now I'm just tired of it. Fuck you, end of story.

Grr... I think I've shown over the past... hmm... what is it... ::thinks:: four and a half years that I know how to type!

Stupid Freya think's she's so good... ::grumble grumble::

Melenium Link Out~ "

Now then. FIRST off, she did NOT say that ONLY girls have proper typing skills. She stated an HONEST TO GOD PROVEN FACT! What fact is that? That girls TEND to have better grammar than boys. She never said ALL girls have better English skills than guys... for FUCK'S sake, GET IT RIGHT. You are what I'd call an exception to the rule. There was NO need for you to take offense to it; she didn't attack you or even mention you personally, she just stated a fact.

Secondly, yes, we KNOW that YOU know how to type. But there are MILLIONS of male people out there who have such shitty English and grammar that they're almost incoherent when they type ANYTHING! If anything, take Freya's comment as a COMPLIMENT, because you are one of the few who CAN type!

And lastly, she never said she was "so good" or better than you in any way. In fact... nope, she didn't even MENTION you in the post where she stated that girls tend to have better English skills than guys. Freya is one of the more HUMBLE people I know... she very rarely claims to be better at ANYTHING than ANYONE...

...and, with horribly shitty timing, my meds have ceaced to have any effect. PAIN...

Omg, we all know I never give up a fight, but this is rediculous! You arn't even listening to what I'm saying! For Christs sake do you like not understand, or do you chose not to understand?

So, fuck this I quit. If the opponeant in the debate doesn't listen to what you say, its not a debate.

And on a serious note : I know what CTS is, and I will get it soon, hehe, ask Zero, I'm always on the comp doing something =P My hands already shake and my vision ish blurry. But, what I didn't know is that rest isn't helpful. For me, that works. After a few hours of sleep, I feel better.

DC, my first post wasn't even hostile! I would NEVER be angry at you or Freya! I'm only sorry about not telling people I disagree with what they were doing, but seriously, I didn't do anything.

I don't wanna fight with anyone! Freya was even really nice to me on AIM, you're the only one that's angry... well, please. I want everything to be okay. It's not fun to have friends mad at you.

*sigh* (Why do all my recent posts start with a *sigh* nowadays?) You know what? I just give up. I've tried apologizing twice, and people are still apparently angry with not only me, but my best friend (by the way DC, words cannot express how truly grateful I am that you would rush to my defense. I really appreciate it).

DC's right. I don't claim to have a great deal of knowledge in many subjects. Yes, I am intelligent. But I'm not really an "expert" in anything, except maybe Xena, and do know how completely worthless that expertise is in the "real world"? My other saving grace is my English skills. It's something on which I do pride myself, so please excuse me if I become a tad overbearing about it. I know I don't have much else to contribute to this forum...I've always felt sort of the "odd man out", as it were, because I know virtually nothing about the forum subject. I appreciate that none of you held it against me, and I tried to maintain my objectivity by never butting in on conversations about Final Fantasy technicalities. I'm sure my ignorance on the mere forum topic was a mark against me from the moment I posted my first response, but I tried to make the best of a bad situation. I know I got off to a rocky start, and that I can seem somewhat intellectually belligerent. I've been improving, I think. At least, I thought I was.

I'm not angry. Just sort of numb, and depressed. I've tried to be supportive over the years, and I thought that I would receive support in return. It's sad to see how one innocent comment can change things, and I wonder how many times I will have to apologize and prostrate myself before the gods until my apology is accepted.

Vinny, I don't understand you. I freely admit so. I don't hate you, or fear you, or even pity you. You confuse me. You take everything to be the slightest offense, and magnify the perceived injury. You seem to be highly sensitive to criticism...I wonder at your willingness to criticize others, especially in such a vitrolic manner. I honestly admit to being unable to see things from your perspective. I'm not saying that I disdain your worth. I admire your persistance...and nothing else.

Link... *shakes head* What can I say to you? I'm sorry that you are willing to discard a friendship based on a single statistic. If I had said, "Studies have shown that boys have a tendency to score higher in math and science", would you felt the same evident offense? I am not responsible for cultural tendencies, just like I'm not responsible for suicide attempts being higher for teenage girls than any other group, or the low birthrate for Japanese people. This does not mean that girls are genetically programmed to want to kill themselves eventually, or that Japanese people are genetically programmed to have few children. It means that girls are culturally conditioned to succumb to stress more readily, and that in Japan, it is encouraged to have no more than one child, preferably a boy.

Kant, I appreciate your theories on "free speech", and how the moderator should not get involved, but they only work when the moderator truly doesn't get involved and make comments and pass judgement on the others. I also believe that yes, there should be a small amount of censorship involved. Not the suppression of ideas, but the manner in which they are expressed. You can critisize someone's viewpoint without getting hostile or vulgar, or even personal. I have been to other forums where they have a "no flames, no swearing" policy, and I think that a more respectful atmosphere is more conducive to growth. Instead of being rancorous every time someone enters a controversial post, the other members could engage in constructive critism. This is not "tiptoeing around the issue". It's being respectful of the other parties' feelings. I know my comments will be taken as "Freya's trying to tell them how to run the forum", but I don't think some contructive advice is harmful. It is, after all, only advice. You don't have to take it, if you feel that is best.

Okay, I'm going to try to take into account that some people really don't like being flammed... well, most people actually. I won't but in to the conversation or cheer anyone on, I'll just moderate. That is what a moderator's supposed to do, after all.

Whoa whoa whoa!!! I'm not throwing away a friendship at all!

All I want is an apology and a retractment of that statement. And if that makes you believe that I am ending a friendship, I'm sorry that it appears that way, thats not what I want at all!!!

Aside from the fact that I already have apologized twice to the forum in general, why do you require a specific apology? I did not place blame on any parties, insult anyone, or even say a single curse word in my original post. I simply stated a statistic. Which is what it is...a statistic, which by its very definition is not influenced by opinion. Statistics may be used to support an opinion, but they are not in and of themselves opinions. I'm also mildly shocked that, after giving examples proving that cultural tendencies are not influenced by genetics, you still insist upon a personal apology from me. I inflicted no injury to you or any other party, and repetition of proof of my shame is getting highly tedious.

I think I have been extremely mature. I have not returned the abuse handed to me with additional yelling or swearing or insults, or even resorted to bitter sarcasm. I've been calm and reasonable, and have taken responsibility and blame for the entire thing. I took the high road, and I'm being punished for it. It's all extremely deheartening. Would you prefer it if I was hostile and sarcastic? Would you understand my behaviour better that way? I'm not the kind of person to yell and scream when they're angry, however...I don't work that way. I apologize (again) if it's difficult to communicate with someone who doesn't fight back...it's hard to have a flame war when the person who alledgedly initiated it keeps accepting blame. You all seem to be doing fine on your own, though, so don't mind me.

Kant? Too little, too fucking late. You damn near encouraged people to harass Freya... lead by example, neh? From what I've seen, only Zero had the ability to see that Freya's comment wasn't an insult and wasn't meant to be hostile... Kant? As the Forum Moderator, as I said before, I was highly disappointed with the way you handled this. I am gravely offended by your actions... and the lack thereof. You say you want to encourage free speech? Have you ever considered that I also find Vincent's posts highly offensive? Telling Freya to suck his cock and all that... DELETE it. That is not "free speech," that is harassment. In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not going to just let this drop. You've offended me, you've allowed the posts which I find vulgar and distasteful to remain up, and you are just now realising what the job of moderator is? Fuck that.

Oh, I nearly forgot. On a side note, just to see if I was wrong about how I interpreited Kant's post, I asked a friend who has never even heard of this forum to come and read this thread. He said that Kant's post seemed hostile just like the others, and he even raised the question of wether Kant was actually truly hostile and only claimed to be joking later when he saw that it was causing trouble. He said that Kant's claim of "joking around" is questionable. He also said that no, he's not going to post here... he doesn't want to go to a forum where people are this stupid. *snorts* Kant? I am very distressed about you're "joking" post. And my question [which you carefully avoided answering] still stands! What the hell did you think was funny about all this?! What did YOU see that was funny? Why the hell did you feel the need to joke about it?!? You seem very bloody callous and stupid. I am embarrassed to have even considered you a friend.

Okay, here goes Santa. Freya makes a generalization about males being worse with literature, or somehting of the sort, than females. Kant makes a statement that he has good grammar, etc. Link is offended at that Freya, in a way, said his grammar is less than satisfactory (she did not specifically say that, but Link apparently implied it). After seeing how DC sticks up for Freya and how much trouble it is causing, Kant defends himself. Link is still pissed though and a mini-flame war starts. That's about it Santa.

Sweet zombie jesus...thats about the only thing i can say at the moment. Its rather amazing that a simple clarification of gender turns into the next Message Board War. And, as anyone can see...this is my, what, 3rd post on the subject? Goes to show how disinterested and jaded I have become on the subject. However, I post here again as a would-be harbinger of peace. Little bit of information here...pretty much all of you are in my cool book. Sure, there are times when some of you act like complete assholes (Vinny, in particular), but, other than that, I love coming here to see what's going on in my friends lives, what they deem important, you know, those sorts of things. However, when my friends fall into petty bickering and pointless arguments, well, it makes it hard for me to like you. True, a lot of what was said here had a reason, but...they had a reason because of some pointless comment. If not for said comment(and the excact statement escapes me at the moment...shows how much I pay attention), this little flame war would not be, and I wouldn't be scroll though days worths of posts, reading the same thing over and over again, about how much someone doesnt like someone else. Not to be nit picky, but as of last week, this argument ended...but, for some reason, some random person keeps at it, be it just for interest, or because they had their feelings hurt, or whatever. Now...as was so pointed out by Demon Cougar on multiple occasions, and clarified by a rather morose Freya, she apologised. Let it be. Ive spoken my piece...

Jeesh, I don't even want to read this post anymore. I am NOT Lejes. I don't have the energy to come in 20000 times a day and delete all the dumbass things Vinnie says. I just don't. I'm sorry. Too much fucking work. Also, you might want to think about how I don't read EVERY post that is made in this forum. I have no way of doing so much, I have other projects like the new Zirah to work on. I try to let this place run itself because I THINK people are mature enough to not fight like kindergarteners because of a stupid little comment someone made. My first post was NOT hostile, I don't care what you say, there was not a serious remark in it and I said NOTHING bad to Freya. I said I had good English skills. Does ANYONE have a fucking problem about me saying I have good English skills? No. I do not appreciate being put down by people I am TRYING MY VERY FUCKING BEST to please and whom I like very much, and to whom I apologized to even though I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG. I do not pick fights with anyone, I don't like fighting, I don't know what you people are used to doing online but I don't like it. If someone is nice to you, at least TRY to be nice to them, even if you don't like them. I try to sacrifice whatever I have to make people happy, and no one cares, you just keep giving me headaches. Well I don't care. Do what you want, I'm staying out of this as usual. And I don't care if you want to fight with me some more, do it with someone else who is willing.
