It could be because English is not Ravello's first language, while you are a native speaker, as far as I know, so you should know better.
Originally posted by NordlysWell, I was sort of criticising Moldy's remark anyway. And I'm sure one of the many things Ravello doesn't appreciate is having his English corrected.

Originally posted by SJ247Actually I always try to get people to correct me, with little success. But many people may rather feel discouraged or offended when they try to write in a foreign language as good as they can, and then someone comes and corrects them. Anyway, I am not talking about what Ravello might or might not appreciate, but about Moldy's possible motives for not correcting him. Many people see it as impolite to correct someone who is writing in a language which is not his/her first language.

Originally posted by aspviper666Well, to be honest, I am a little disappointed. From what I have read, he has quite the reputation for being rude. While I found him, in this thread, to be severely mistaken (in my opinion) he did not come through as "rude".
You're talking about Ravello here.
I have been Ravelloed, and found it very unsatisfying.

What is it like, I wonder, to tiptoe through life?
