Clijsters came out of the Na Li match with an injured ankle so her QF is unsure.

Agreed.


Almagro may not be winning beauty competitions but if he'd be a hot looking guy, he'd be forgiven for one hell of a lot more.
Almagro may not be a total sweetheart either but he wasn't at fault in that famous incident against Safin either (in Portugal IIRC) when Safin refused to shake his hand.

(but some who don't like arguments at all, may disagree. Some are angry with you for simply disagreeing)

I've been on MTF for what 5 and a half years - and I've received one personal warning (the other day) in that time, so maybe you're not the only one who knows the difference between an argument and a personal attack? Especially when the person who complained about the "attack" - which was a blatant joke, for the record - wasn't even the receipient of said attack.

But I don't know what your issue is with Mikey so I'll stay out of it. I just think that your tone was aggressive and personal.

Well, it's meant to be personal.

As for the aggressive part, to be honest, I can't be bothered to argue/debate with people online over whether their assessment of message board posts were aggressive/not aggressive. I once went through all of that about 7 years ago, and the consensus was - a lack of smiley use nearly always indicates an increase in aggressive tone amongst the majority.

So, my bad.



And for the record, I have reported Feldman's latest of many attacks/threats towards me and we will see what comes of it. This appears the only way to deal with the situation and I hope his minions will be happy when they get him life-banned. People in glass houses and all that...

I know because of his reaction to my reaction. And I know he wouldn't have reported anything because he knows full well the disgusting things he has said to me in the past which I would never ordinarily report, because it's just a forum at the end of the day.

However, now its at a stage where okay - if anything I say to him, as a joke, is going to be reported by his followers, then the same will apply the other way. That seems fair enough, no?

Only one of them is now a favourite

I didn't report the post because 1) I don't understand the dispute with Mike and 2) it happened when I was offline and it was over when I did get online.

Germany wants revenue taxes from all those Belgian men (or, in case they're dead by now, their widow or kids,...) who were forced to go work in nazi-Germany during WWII.
After the war, it was agreed to give those men an income for all the work they had no choice in doing. The German government now figures it's fair to tax them for it.


I had great uncles who were dragged away from their home and family to work for nazi-Germany. It's not as if they had a choice in the matter. The nerve to ask them to pay taxes for forced labor.

Oh Betty, I wasn't inferring you as the 'reporter'. I have my ideas who it may have been, but that doesn't matter, really. And yes, I agree - people should stay out of the business of others, particularly when it's so easy to read something on a forum and not appreciate or understand the context or dynamic of the two or more posters involved.

Some people are very easily offended, I get that, but you know, I used to be on a forum where even if you whispered hello you got a warning, and so I created my own forum where I could say what I want without fear of getting penalised for the sensibilities of others.

It's a shame MTF is going down the BBC route, but luckily I'm not an active user of this forum anymore for it to matter - other than to make this point about tit-for-tat reporting.

And yes, Andreea is a minion, and also a racist, and I have just said both to her privately and she has agreed.
