Sad to See
 
I just received a PM with the following text:
 
 "I think you should leave first.  You are so impolite.  You are insulting your country.  I am very peaceful but you are not.  You are totally impolite and ignorant.  Go home and think about it."
 
This makes me sad, we have worked very hard for many years to make this site a place where people can come and share teaching tools without being judged.

Dear Douglas
I got a very similar message from the member who had said that the stupid site  made him lose his time and whom I had answered on the forum, so everyone could read it. But I don �t bother to be sad because I have no intention to lose my time with people who don �t interest me.

When I first visited this website, I was looking for activities for my students.
Instead, I found a community of people who are willing not only to share their work, but create collaboratively and, above all, communicate their feelings and ideas to people from all over the world whom they �ve never met, and probably never will !
This, for me, is very hopeful.
Don �t let that one person influence you, Douglas.  
Cheers

Oh dear Douglas,
 
You are not the only one to have received such a "very kind" message. I have answered a private answer to the sender.
 
Don �t worry, please ! You deserve our respect as well as Sylvia !
 
It is not your fault if some people are always feeling persecuted ! Some people DO love thinking that they are eternal victims... They want to focus the others � attention on them...
 
Don �t "fall in the - too obvious - trap" (as we say in French) !
 
Hugs to all the members who have been here for many years and know very well our webmaster �s dedication and patience.
 
Maryse.
