Alkanadi:..It is near the bottom.

I've just looked at that message. It says only that gypsies use a toothpowder made from charcoal. In fact I know which toothpowder that is, because I've seen it, and a branded form can be bought on amazon.

What is "proper" is a matter of opinion. You seem to be the only person so far to have made an explicitly offensive comment on this matter, so perhaps it is only you who deserves a warning, unless you clarify your statement.

This thread is perfectly titled. Because if any thread was ever worthy of deletion, it's this one. It does nothing to advance or enhance learning of Esperanto.

Yet, I did not even receive a warning. Do you see the discrepancy now?

The rules are arbitrary and subjective.

Roch:Haha, I'm seeing Vestitor like a type of troll...

not always easy to define them though...
Have you considered an eye test?

I would rather say that you should consider yourself lucky, and don't do it again.

You might keep all of that in mind when publicly insinuating that people wearing pink are most likely to be gay. Straight people wearing pink will be annoyed at being misrepresented and gay people may be irritated at being stereotyped.

You shouldn't assume that admins read all the threads (particularly when they are offline for multiple days in a row), and you shouldn't assume that if an offensive message appears, that an admin has read it. Offensive messages should be reported - therefore if you see a message that you think is against the site's terms of service, you should report it using the "report" button that accompanies each and every message on this forum, accompanied by the reason why you think this message is against the terms of service. Unless you have personally reported a message, you should not assume that an admin is aware of it.

And I fail to see anything offensive about a statement that a certain group cleans their teeth with a traditional method that doesn't involve a toothbrush and toothpaste. There are a lot of traditional tooth cleaning methods and many of them are effective (even if they don't taste very nice). Perhaps you can tell me what's offensive about using a tooth cleaning method other than what's common in the industrialized west.

Roch:Oh my... In the same thread

Vestitor said: I've been corresponding with tommjames as a tutor (intermittently I must add!) and I find that he is very prompt and helpful. Even when I left months between lessons.

tommjames is a good tutor.

That's nice.

Stated as though there is a point.

I am more confused than ever. This is good practice for being online probably. Please admin, don't delete this amazing thread. I can't wait to see what comes next.. I couldn't possibly guess.

I pops over to lernu every other day or so when I ain't working just to read a little esperanto; generally the posts and arguments are kinda silly.. a few serious statements and a good batch of off-the-wall, but no worries, sure I'll even get involved now and then. It's good practice; keeps me from loosing the lang.

Not sure why I reads the english posts too. Not like I'm going to get a chance to loose english. For some reason the exchanges fascinates me.

When I had a complaint, I was told to go elsewhere, such as 4chan.

Couldn't the same logic be used to counter this argument? Nobody is forcing you to read this thread.

The thread is relevant because the subject is about Lernu.
