I feel insulted!
|
I �m here for a couple of months and I �m here to share and learn. I respect everyone here and follow the politeness rules, and since this is a site for teachers I expect that everyone do the same. But Mr. or Mrs. AbouSolaym from Marocco said nasty things here and felt him/herself in the right to call a teacher from my country "moderator from the Amazonian jungle". And said more, "you and the other monkeys, from Amazonian jungle or not" or something else.
I felt so insulted that lost my temper. If someone has a problem I think there are many ways to solve it and to bring it to the forum, without insulting people or nations. I �m proud of being Brazilian, and before mentioning anything from here, the person needs to know my country first.
Prejudice is crime in my country, and when AbouSolaym called her "moderator from Amazonian jungle" he insulted not only her, but thousands of Brazilian teacher here. There �s no excuse for being that rude.
Mr. AbouSolaym, how dare you talk about my country this way? What knowledge do you have about my country to talk this way? Having a problem with one ws is enough for being that rude? Are you a real TEACHER? You lack manners, sir.

I do, yesterday I deffended a person talking about Islam here. I don �t understand prejudice and don �t accept it. I worry when someone insults my country.
Thanks, anyway. I �m very nervous. This kind of things really get to me.

We all were insulted by this member. I have just read the nasty things s/he wrote about you, Julieta and I �m indignant.
VICTOR, PLEASE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PERSON. "IT" DOESN �T BELONG HERE.

Dear all, and particularly Zailda & Julieta This abousolaym does not represent the warm Moroccan country I originate from. To me he is a pure provocator As a Moroccan, I, in my turn, feel insulted as I feel ashamed when I see Morocco associated with this abousolaym.... My compatriotes do not behave that way� I really do not understand why a few memebres can become so incredilbly �rude just because a worksheet has been removed As Alien boy correctly pointed, nobody is dying here.... To conclude, whether we like it or not, we should seriously think of how to improve this "moderators" section of this site. Since it was introduced, the general atmosphere in the forum �has become sadder, if not worse, spoilt by unjustified agressivity

At this point, I think he should change his nick to Abuselaym.
