    Thanks Juliet. That was needed, as it neatly articulated the obvious sentiment in a questionably relevant but easily digestible graphic interchange format, or .gif.

    No you don't. That sounds more like an attempt to put the conversation to bed than anything that a human would recognise as contrition.

    A humble person would apologise without reservation for their error, to the person affected directly, and would deeply regret that their thoughtless actions and words caused such offence.

    Note how you've not done that, you've in fact continued to refrain from addressing her directly? Yes. We did too.

    are you going to use it to, say, adjust your mindset, become less ignorant, etc? or are you content with just clapping yourself on the shoulder for "appreciating" it?

    A private messaging system was utilized until the response to Nekhbet's post signaled a desire for public discussion. At that point I modified my behavior. Much as I did earlier, after learning there was an issue of which I was previously unaware. And as I expect to do in the future if other complications arise.

    At several points, Rachel asked you the question directly.

    You pointedly ignored it.

    Your claiming, therefore, to be "previously unaware" is a demonstrable a lie; you were wilfully delinquent. And seemingly not content with an ongoing campaign of insult to Rachel, you decided to widen the scope to the point where you tell us all to, in no uncertain terms, go **** ourselves.

    your answers sounds like they're coming from a robot.

    do you even realise why people react to your actions? it sounds like you're just saying whatever it is you expect will shut us up, but i don't even think you know what you're supposed to apologise for.

    Re-read the first six words, Ender. That is all.

    I am asking no one to be quiet and am happy to continue receiving people's thoughts/feelings. As a point of clarity, apologies were offered for what transpired before my word choice was modified. Several of you have remarked on the diction since then. I continue to review personally workable alternatives.

    Yet, when Dani asked the question, around 4 hrs ago, it received a like from Rachel.

    So are you inferring you messaged prior to this? If so, the "like" and subsequent reply (regarding a lack of "love" button) infer it was manifestly inadequate an apology.

    If it was subsequent to Dani's post, then....

    Nekhbet: I would not have modified my language if I had not.

    Do you have further questions?

    Ender: Yes. It's almost like the response of the user in question prompted me to discuss the issue again, in public. Which is what I already said a few posts ago now. I am glad we were able to come to a better understanding g about this sequence of events.

    lol ok, let me know when you hit China.


    The way you say "I am American, I only speak English" is:

    https://translate.google.com.au/#en/zh-TW/I am American. I only speak English.


    The tips I would give are:
    1. angle your tongue up to the roof of your mouth to nail the pronunciation
    2. Use the accents as a guide for how your intonation should flow
    3. Say "Yingwen" (where the "wen" is pronounced like how people say "when") instead of yingyu.
