I respect your traditions, please respect mine.

..... I live in the country India. My mother tongue is Malayalam and I know a smattering of Hindi. As you can guess from that (,and as you can feel when you read this), English is not my first language. (Feel free to ask me if you don't understand me, and feel free to correct my English mistakes). 

..... so, please pardon my absurdities and mistakes. 

I shall treat you with respect and charity and I expect the same in return.

(emphases mine!)

 

Lately, I've been caught up in certain disagreements with some people here, so I thought I'd remind everyone. Look especially at the portions I've underlined. 

I belong to a different culture and I think and translate my posts. So, you might get the tone that I am rude. Actually, I strive to love you as much as God does (Misericordes sicut Pater). 

Thanks for understanding.

Jack, if you find that you are offending people when you don't mean to, you can ask the person to clarify how you gave offense.  Then, you can apologize properly and avoid offending people in the future.  I think the onus is on you to not offend, once you've identified that there is a problem with how you're communicating, rather than just on your readers.

It might be an idea, Jack, to put your introduction into "About Me" in your profile.  I missed your September introductory post "Hi I am new" somehow - and while I checked out your profile after you posted into another thread, the detail in your post above was missing and would be really helpful to any wanting to read about you.  Also, if you put it into "About Me" it is there for all to see at any time - and does not disappear into the back pages of Phatmass as probably most all threads eventually do as time rolls on.

Thank you. I have just done that.
