Sorry for stir

I haven't seen what it was he wrote about either, but I'm not forgiving him....

Troublemaker? Probably. Unwanted? If you do not want it then do not participate. Yep, I have problem with writing (start to learn English at age of 33) and nature of my work right now does not require to write anything, so I should practice somewhere. And I found forums the best places because there are always some people who disagree and making an (civilized :-)))) argument is most fruitful things to learn language.
Yes, I knew that such topic always hot and I confess that I post it deliberately. But all my replays were honest.

Cheers

Hey Serg

It seems to me that Your Lights Are On But No Bodies Home.
Do you want to Argue about that, or do you agree?

No, Daza, it is boring. Unless you trying get on me with some idiom :-)))).

Actually there is another great topic – carbon pollution, greens etc. With right steering your suggested topic can be brought to life LOL (i.e. unnecessarily burned electricity)

Cheers

Hello again Serg, some tips to help you with your English!!
As stated earlier, I suggested you bleep off. This (to me ) means that if you are not able to make constructive comments on an issue that involves peoples safety & well being you should perhaps not comment at all. It also means(to me), you perhaps should show some sympathy for any person that was killed or injured.
If you need further explanation of the term, I would be happy to help, otherwise Fxxck off.

Barry,

You read it wrong, or may be did not read at all. I said that I am sorry for this fellow and this is main reason to get them of road – not to read such articles! This is exactly safety issue – even if bicyclist collide with pedestrians on footpath maximum damages will be broken bones. If (s)he collide with car it can be lethal. Nope, current brainless law says that they must ride on the road because they are “legitimate users”. IMHO bicyclist first and foremost should make a campaign against such law. Anyway thanks for your not that constructive tips.

Serg.

Barry,

It is you who is being somewhat obnoxious.

Serg has been a forum member for quite a while and even though he may project his English a little different than others, he at least tries and I for one not only have no trouble in understanding him, but I enjoy reading his sometimes amusing threads.

So I suggest you lighten up mate.

Bill.

Bill,

mate, thanks for support!

Cheers
Serg

Seems to me, if a man makes an apology he should be given his fair due.

Regards

Kim

Geeez Barry.... I HOPE that you're kidding with that response!
Serg is trying like buggery to better his english, I have read some of his posts and have no problems understanding him.

Cheers

Brian

Brian,

Thanks for understanding and tolerance.

Serg

Sorry, meant to add that it is happens everywhere. When (some) people run out of bullets, they start to insult opponent. More primitive minded say something like “you are dick head” or whatever, while a bit advanced usually get on language keep forgetting that even for native speaking level of language scholastic does not related to level of intelligence or even education – let alone someone who start to learn language later! I use to use it, so no much harm done!

Cheers
Serg

The problem is Serge is that you posted with the sole intent of inflamming and provoking (you stated this). Due to human fraility many succumbed and you got what you were looking for, a reaction....

Personally, I'm happy to be challenged intellectually and always appreciate others point of view. However, in this instance your posts speak for themselves, even the fact that you saw the need to start another thread to apologise...... if you were genuinely contrite you would have left it alone by know and moved on..

Having a BAD day Barry, unlike you to attack a fellow member. I for one quite enjoy serges posts, and I admire him for trying to fit into our way of life and culture. Maybe you should go to a foreign country and broaden your horizons old mate.
Serge is going to make a first class aussie, he already has the shxt stirring down pat.
Cheers pete

One other thing Barry, if you where to learn a foreign language you would reliase most other languages sentence structure is back to front to english. Which is why most new Aussies have problems with sentence structure.
Cheers Pete

Come on, Landy!

I am genuinely apologetic for the fact that I deliberately started “hot” topic upfront knowing that it makes stir. I like to have a reaction and I have got it. Thus I somewhat “used” you. And this is what my apology for - nothing more then that. Otherwise everything else remains as it been stated in above mention thread. And please believe me that my intention was to challenge my own writing skills by arguing with someone rather then inflaming and provoking fellow members “for fun”.

Cheers and Regards
Serg

Good luck with that approach, I'm sure it will make you popular.....

This is whole problem – lawful does not means safe here, nor “in behalf of majority of users”. Perhaps intelligence exactly means not apply laws brainlessly – who knows?

Cheers
Serg

Point proven - thanks Serg

Waynepd,

Trust me, you have not missed much by not talking to that idiot bike rider. Best replay would be the finger or most likely he would just ignore you and keep pedaling. They have “rights”.

Cheers
Serg

Hairy,

Thanks for hint, but they rather way too primitive for my language level. Plus one need motivation :-))))))). I have no problem with reading and express myself verbally – what I need is writing practice. A while ago I was in position when I was require to write reports, but now I have to write nothing at all, so I am seeking opportunity that does not require much motivation, and believe me forums are best (I participate in some other as well).

As to “ignore rude dogs” generally I disagree with you – this forum very polite and civilized in general. Have a go to Canon photo-forum and you understand exactly what I am talking about. Plus many people here older and this is BIG plus – they may be rude, but usually they express themselves in “proper” English, nothing like cul8 or whatever.

Thanks for support anyway.

Cheers
Serg.

Gday Serg,
No worries.
The pleasure was all yours.
And thank you for enjoying my hospitality.

Cheers
Hairy

“Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit”

It been debated many times, some disagree.

”As you displayed yesterday in a question I posted, you bring nothing of Importance.”

Finally I have figured out what you are after and gave you good (IMHO) advice - hook it up to cruise control by one solid state relay.

Cheers
Serg

All good informative info I recieved from every other person that replied

This was your Idea of good advice???

"No I do not know where you can patch it (I drive Toyota), but surely can figure it out from wire diagram."

Know good for nothing!

Fine. Then get one from advised source, plug it in and hope it works. My approach to understand what is cooking before I put it in, thus I can fix it if it gets broken. Therefore if my approach is not suitable for you simply ignore my advice – obviously it not good in your circumstances. No advice will be suited for everyone; otherwise there will be only one opinion.

Cheers
Serg

That was the intention of the post serg.... to get a range of advice from Informative people, which is what Iv'e found this forum is good for.

Not for sarcastic Idiotic remarks which Is why your thread starts with "sorry"

Know all f#$% all

From Wikipedia:

“Sarcasm is most often used as an intelligent form of humor to satirically and paradoxilly portray the minutinae and uselessness in some aspects of everyday life.”

“In 19th and early 20th century medicine and psychology, an "idiot" was a person with a very severe mental retardation, or a very low IQ level, as a sufferer of cretinism, defining idiots as people whose IQ were below 20 (with a standard deviation of 16).”

Thus “sarcastic Idiotic remarks” is contrary in definition.

Serg.

"Sarcasm" stating the opposite of an intended meaning especially in order to sneeringly, slyly, jest or mock a person, situation or thing. It is strongly associated with irony, with some definitions classifying it as a type of verbal irony intended to insult or wound.

"Idiotic" Showing foolishness or stupidity.
