When teachers behave like kids : "your wss are not better than mine" which tends to echo "my Dad is stronger than yours"...�It makes me wonder if maturity is ever reached anywhere. We are teachers, we want the best for the kids, this site is not a competition. As for me, 0 points members are not an issue, because they can �t download anyway... I �m more upset with people who stop uploading right after they reach 30 points...�
Victor is doing a great job, I have nothing to complain about! Have a nice day! |

We are teachers! There shouldn �t be any competition here!
Have a nice day! |

It
�s better for some people to keep silent and not to speak until they
know the situation better. This is to avoid some misunderstandings that
have no purpose but to water the tree of disagreements. So plz think
twice before you speak and it �s better that you don �t speak until you
understand! I �m sure that by time you would change your view. That �s
why I forgive you what you said. | |

Sounds like time for my favourite quote...
It �s better to be quiet & be thought a fool than to open your mouth (or should that be post a comment) & prove it!

You do realise that it is okay not to be in agreement
with your opinion. And that praising certain members while ridiculing
others isn �t exactly polite. We all have different opinions on things
here and we should respect that - even if we disagree with that
person �s view.
So far, nobody has been rude to you. They have
all expressed their opinions and are cautioning you that it is Victor �s
site and he knows what �s best for it.
Firstly, the number of
accounts here on the site does not take up "unnecessary" space and as I
am an admin at another site, (not ESL related at all) I know that most
times accounts need to be deleted one by one! A humongous job that
would take Victor forever to do...
Secondly, the general
consensus here on the forum is that things are perfect as they are. Why
force people to contribute any more than they have? It �s not necessary,
the amount of work produced each day is mind-boggling and there is no
lack of work to choose from. So I have no idea why you are complaining
or suggesting we change format or rules? I mean, it would be different,
if there was hardly anybody sending in stuff but everyday there are
literally hundreds to chose from.
But anyways, THIS is just how I see things. Please don �t take offence at my words.
Regards,
Linda

Hi,
I, too, am still new here, but I would like to know if there is anyway to discover the people who are registered here but have totally quit using the site? This might help with space and make everyone feel better.

wow... just wow.... its nearly 10pm and I have just gotten home...I am speechless really... I am not sure whether someone was just having an off day, a day where they were bored or a day where they felt like picking a fight....
One thing I do know...is that your words Abdelhadi are at times very rude and cutting about other members... just because they don �t agree with you.
Victor has said before that the accounts of people that are not active do not take up any space. So why should you or I or anybody worry? I personally do not value a member by how many points they have or don �t have.
Also I had to laugh really as you say that everyone should be made to contribute a certain amount... but then later down the track you say the reason you have not contributed more than two worksheets is because you are busy etc etc etc so did you stop to think for a moment that the reasons you give might be the same for others?
I would guess that a lot of the empty accounts are from people who signed up thinking that they could download and THEN read the rules about having to upload first... and never came back. Who cares about them? I certainly don �t!
My advice to you is to relax, enjoy the site and let Victor worry about how he wants to run his site. |

I �ll stop sending comments here as the last ones are moving place and you don �t know who posted the last comment. So enough discussions for today. Tomorrow is near here. So till then!

WOW!!! How insulting is this thread going to get! �Quote from abdelhadi :�"I can assure you that you are the type of users I don �t like on this website. If you had a logical way of thinking, you wouldn �t have said that silly comment. If you don �t have the ability to read my comment, you can just ignore it and there is no need to say silly things which show what kind of teachers you are." I happen to be someone who has just read the comment that is referred to here as being "silly". �Well to me it was just being "chirpy and funny" �An attempt to get people smiling again.
So the person referred to here does not �not come up to the�standards and opinions of the�Author�of the above insult.!!!!???Well isn �t that just too bad!!  �None of us are claiming to be faultless here! �We are just a cross-section of teachers from different cultures. Some of us can have a very serious temperament . Some of us can be serious, while at the same time we can be humourous, funny �and chirpy. �We are all different! �But none of us deserve to be insulted here. I for one have no right to get up on my own high horse and castigate anyone. I can differ in opinion but I must always respect the opinions of others. I can do that in a calm and diplomatic way. �If I get annoyed then I must hold my "powder" dry, lest I hurt someone by my words. I can also PM to state my views.
Again I feel the need to repeat something that I have said before in other threads.....ESL is not ALL about WORKSHEETS! There are so many more ways to contribute here...sooo many! �I have got such a great amount of help here through PMs and emails. I have learned so much from studying the posts here.�I hope that I have helped too.�In �fact I think I would be correct in saying that (for me)it has been through the features that I have just mentioned that I have benefitted most from this great site.�For others it is through the worksheets. Oh when is all this going to stop so that we can really ENJOY this forum!� Caroline |
