All I said is that from my experience, the i did not discredit anyone, i did not even mentioned your name, if you feel offended, than maybe it concern you. you will be the judge of that. i am not your teacher. > newbies usually like to use hebrew, which is true. the fact the > technion forces people to use english has no bearing whatsoever on > what i said.

Huh ? I think you're taking this from the CORRECT > context of simpleness and portability between the list's users onto > remote and unneccesary philosophic areas. I think that if nadav and moshe talk about eliezer ben-yehuda, others can carry on the same wave, so as you can see i never took you anywhere. besides, its not that i was bassing my reasoning on that sentence. You took that part and twisted it, obviously to distract the readers from the main point > This really isn't complicated.

Again, I don't see > why is this complicated, or why does it turn me into a bigot to KNOW > that new users prefer to ask questions in hebrew. never called u a bigot. again u twisted my email to your line of thought which you already decided that i "came here to destroy you", but i can assure you i am certainly not slim shady. so cool off. this is a discussion, not a jabbing contest. > > Amir.
