Whilst I thank Nick Howe for taking the touble to reply to my question re: eligibility to reside in an agircultural property. |
Belinda, you obviously feel sensitive about the lack of acknowledgement for those of your ethnic background, but I think your answer to Nick was unwarranted and far exceeded any (perceived) rudeness in his post. You asked if you would be eligible - he pointed out that anyone in Europe (by which he clearly meant EU) would be. If his answer was that obvious, why did you ask the question?
As for Tahir, that was clearly a tongue-in-cheek comment (hence the smiley face) tacked onto a genuine enquiry. Most of us are genuinely interested in the background of the others on this site, and the different experiences we each bring with us.
In general, if there is any ambiguity as to what someone meant, it is 'Netiquette' to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that their comment was well-intentioned, even if it was put clumsily and open to misinterpretation. In contrast, you seem to assume that you are being personally attacked, and comments of the kind you meted out to Nick are a sure way of stopping people such as him from giving their (free!) advice on forums such as these.
As a lot of members have said in the past, this is a particularly friendly community, with a lot of lighthearted banter going on. I suggest you might try to enter into the spirit of it, otherwise you're likely to find that people just won't help you or answer your posts for fear they too will come under fire. |
