I think that certain opennes/ directness on the English forum does not come from the intention to hurt others, but rather from the fact that for most who write here English is a foreign languge and thus it is more difficult for them to express their views and thoughts in a careful, diplomatic way
. Communication is the priority and that's why the form of the utterances may be sometimes imperfect.
I believe we should all bear that in mind when reading the posts and not take things too personally.
What I've just found absolutely impressive is how some Good Soul
(Margo?) managed to sort out our yesterday discussion and divide it logically into several topics. Well done
