I referred to the recent history of south Africa. I referred to the fascist toe zen in the zuid-Afrikaanse society. The second world war will be escaped to your attention. That is too a long time ago for you that "recent call history", adopts I. Even now there still Neo-Nazi's in appropriate uniforms parade with to hang out the flag on which runetekens have been represented... or are that what decreased apartheid has been now abolished and the black majority to the power is? Do they no longer do dare their large open mouth, the heroes? It is as a matter of fact caracteristic that you mentioned that you first language is English and not African. You are therefore no farmer, or? You need you no make care hear, because nobody here weet the difference Dutchman gone astray except your compatriots and n some. Where does the name Bosse come nasty in fact from?

"I referred to the recent history of South-Africa. I referred to the fascistic tendencies in the South-African society. The second world war will not have caught your attention. It's too long ago for you for it to be called "recent history", I assume. Even now neo-nazis parade in appropriate uniforms with flags with SS-signs ... Or has that decreased somewhat now the Apartheid has been abolished and the black majority has the power? Don't they even dare to open their big mouths anymore, the heroes?
By the way, it's characteristic of you that your first language is English and not Afrikaans. Thus you are not a Farmer, are you? You don't have to worry though, because nobody here knows the difference except for other Afrikaaners and one lost Dutchman.
By the way, where does the name Bosse de Nage come from?"
Originally posted by ivanhoeMy reply was a bit short, but I was actually serious there. I believe that you are the best person to judge if someone is misinterpreting what you say, because only you know exactly what you meant. Likewise, Ragnorak is the best person to judge if you are misinterpreting what he says. That's all I meant. I didn't accuse you of anything (for once 😉 ).
Thanks, you're a princess.
Of course it can get a little more complicated because if you believe something is a misinterpretation of something you were saying, it is also possible that you are misinterpreting what the other person was saying. I am becoming more and more aware of how complicated communication is, and how often things are misinterpreted. That happens even between people who share the same language, culture and values, and it naturally gets worse the more different people's backgrounds are.

Originally posted by NordlysI agree. A good and open communication is built on trust, respect and honesty. If you find out that people are violating these principles you automatically close the doors to that other in order to protect yourself. You either take refuge in the same unworthy actions or you walk away .... or you can look upon it as inevitable and put up with it ... or you speak out against it .... or ..... maybe there are other possiblities. Do you happen to know any ? I am a willing to learn.

No, I was not referring to myself but to other people on the site who are Dutch. I hope you can see the humour of this.

I'm very pleased to hear this.

Maybe Koos is a creation in the same manner as "Evita Bezuydenhout" created by this famous South African impersonator whose name I cannot remember ... Dirk Uys ? ... Buys .... my last guess would combine rather well with Koos Kombuis though. I've seen a couple of his shows a few years back .... hilarious and very good.
Miskien moet jy hierdie land besoek, sedert 1994 het dit heelwat verander.
Maybe I should, but on the other hand they are having enough trouble without me visiting the country ..... 😉

Could you tell us something about that character "Bosse de Nage" ? Am I correct if I translate the name by "Boss from Birth" or is Old French not popular among the Bobbejaans ....... lol ....... 😀

"Anybody should be careful about calling anyone "Brown Trash". And where do you think Bosse took the expression from?"
So Marauder was the person who first accused somebody else of being brown trash? You're living in lala land Ivan.

Are you now also one of Marauder's "friends" who uses divertionary tactics of "humour" to disrupt threads.

Originally posted by Hand of HecateIf you have established this then what do you think "they", including Starrman and the marauder, are trying to do ?
Really Starrman, I've have conducted an extensive search of Ivanhoe's posts. I have determined that, with few marginal exceptions, that he has never flamed anyone without severe provocation. The vast majority of his posts are Jesus like in content.
