Cornel, there are a lot of misunderstandings in Goanet.
Most of them can be avoided if we make the extra effort to understand each
other. Unfortunately, that does not happen often. Hence, the forum as a
whole loses out tremendously because instead of making it a learning
instrument we rather use it to destroy each others' points of view. Instead
of learning and understanding each other all we try to do is score points.
As that was not enough, we then have a "censorship" team which is far from
understanding and far from neutral. But this is my opinion and I have made
it clear to Herman Carneiro and to the other administrators more than once.
But nothing much changes around here anyway. This is why there is not much
to learn in this forum.
You thought Constantino was giving you a 'mouthful' by replying with a
dictionary definition and by addressing you with the title of Prof.
I am 100% sure Constantino did not intend to give you a 'mouthful'. But that
is because I know Constantino well and have got a lot in common with him.
Your reading was obviously different and that was the cause of the problem.
Constantino is a master in diplomacy and I still believe that you
misunderstood him completely. I think his last response to you is very
clear.
Anyway, what is the point of going through this all over again?
Lets just move on.
Best regards
Paulo.
