Re: SRT10 flying to low
Yes, that was a complete overreaction...
But being a foreigner myself I must admit that when I first read Chad's post I sensed a condescending, demeaning tone towards non-native english speakers.
Not trying to protect the "death threat" here... but there is two sides to a coin. "Vívora" guy is probably tired of being made fun of, and most likely the victim of prejudice.
NO! It really wasnt. If he really wants to be a traveling Viper tuner, I think it would be fun to be his translator/assistant. I dont have the skill to be a tuner myself and I love to travel, so all I was doing was offering help if he's serious about starting his own business. Its a messed up world when you can be threatened just because someone doesnt like the fact that you offered to help them with something that they obviously need help with. If he has been the victim of prejudice, thats sad and wrong, but he doesnt need to be flipping out on those who try to HELP him.
Zorro, Chad has done nothing wrong or condescending here, IMO. I re-read his response more than once and being a victim of prejudice does not apply to the way in which Vivora reacted. I also noticed a smiley face

. He is very quick to respond obscenely and viciously. If there is a communication barrier, it is in both reading and writing and if it is that difficult for him to get the idea behind the words written by Chad, a question begs to be asked by Vivora. I.e., what did you mean, etc. It is not Chad that has to be on the defensive, it is really up to the guy that has the poor communication skills for what ever reason. My own personal opinion is he has very little control of a temper and mixes it with booze before coming here. If I am wrong then there is no logic as Warfang posts and the guy is a F'n nut job.
I was told by many when first posting here, get a thick skin. I believe that and a sense of humor will help him. If he keeps coming off like he has, there is a deleted thread that was crazy talk, then he deserves what he gets including any insensitive responses. I'll go after true prejudice myself, but I would first make sure it was a prejudicial remark. My .02.
