Well, a year or so ago, when I responded to a post by

Alexandra Kafka, I asked her (politely) why she

phrased her questions in so flat and demanding a

manner, without explaining why she was asking or using

social lubricants like "please" and "thank you." She

replied that she was not a native English speaker

(implying that the problem was unfamiliarity with the

language).

 

I apologised and said I hoped she would brush up on

her English usage. (She has continued to forgo using

please and thank you, and continues to demand

information with no explanation of her motivation or

interest.)

 

I don't think I have ever insulted Alexandra Kafka to

her face. It was Eve 69 who said my comments about

Alexandra "weren't very nice."

 

But then, I live in rude and pushy Noo Yawk, and my

shields are often up.
