Really, people, this trio, Silverboy, Turnoi and Turino, are the worst kind of Foreign Teacher to infest this country. Arrogant, always right, knowing better than anyone else how to run a School.

If someone like you, Ginger Biscuit, is saying that then I know that I am doing the right thing.

I've had to do like this in order to reply to your post above.That must have been a reply to a post by gingermeggs that has 'disappeared' somehow.Once again,gingermeggs is lumping posters together.Said poster is obviously very displeased indeed by the posts of 'this trio',so much so that he (or she) feels it necessary to denigrate them.Of course,there are not many posters like gingermeggs compared to the number of readers.So,what said poster and a couple of other rude ones say about Silverboy,you and me carries little weight.The fact that their posts have become rather rude recently lets everyone know they've lost the plot!Mud slinging like that reminds me of some dirty political campaigns.Sad,really,and only fit for the likes of some of the UK tabloid newspapers that have been rightly labelled the gutterpress.Personally,I'm becoming rather bored with it all.What's indeed apparent is that the berators offer no helpful advice re specific problems their fellow FT's have encountered.Instead,they sidestep such requests from posters in the mire to concentrate on personal attacks.They have shown us they have a lack of humanity.

As a matter of fact, what you state is a "certain truth" is not that at all. By reading Turnoi's posts and those of Turino's you can find that their style is quite different. Generally, you can find in Turnoi's posts (except those written by his ghost writer) mistakes that are common to those whose first L1 is not English - such as his improper use of the past perfect and other rather insignificant errors that don't alter his meaning, or at least don't prevent a discerning reader from understanding the meaning. Turino's posts, on the other hand, are indicative of a fairly good writer who, albeit, is a bit lazy when it comes to the proper use of punctuation and the like but still makes it quite clear that English is his first language. In addition, Turino, having no reason to lie about it, has made it clear that he has altered the spelling of Turnoi's name as a sign of respect. Can't fault him for that either.

Believe me, I don't always agree with Turnoi, nor do I always appreciate the way Turino so quickly aligns himself with Turnoi and Silverboy. However, it may be better to stick with the issues and not try to make mountains out of mole hills.

As for Turino, he doesn't seem to know much, but simply hang on the coattails of the other two, and a derivation of the name Turnoi.

After comparing my post with the one you've posted later,you'll see that their content is quite similar in nature.It seems that on this issue we agree at least broadly.As you claim I seem not to know much,you are perhaps surprised by broad agreement re said topic.
Obviously,you hadn't read my post before posting yours,or else you wouldn't have repeated more or less what I had posted.So I couldn't have hung on your coattails in this case.It wouldn't surprise me if some posters think you have been hanging on mine!Naturally,the other readers will decide whether we know as much (or indeed as little) as each other re said topic.

By the way,Turino is not a derivation of Turnoi!
