It seems I did not made my point clear, so here I try again:

I personal see his post as insulting. But may it be an insult or not: Claiming to be a German as excuse for a post that the receiver sees as insult is nonsense, to say the least. If he really did not mean it as an insult, he could have cleared the situation with one sentence.

>As another german I say that the intent might have been clearer with a smilie added, but even without one woud not have been categorized as an insult.
>But maybe that is because I am from Hessen and somewhat thickskinned...

>>As a German I have to say: Your insult has nothing to do with being German.

>>>>Your Message #1615965 is insulting and rude, and not because of problems with translation or misunderstanding but because that was the intention you put into the message.

>>>Are you german? Do you think like one? How willl you know my intention? I would not read a message from an brasilian via english that way. Never. I normaly see the joke first. At least this is the way this forum has worked the last decade or so.

>>>Do you think I'm native in this lang? Do I spent time in my answers? And the OP considers to think about it? That changes nothing. This is a forum for coders. If the OP can't do with a laugh it's not my fault.
