And I also tell you very clearly that I do expect a more respectful tone from you at least towards me since I have apologised and am doing my best to treat you decently. If you fail to do so, you should not complain. I have admitted making a mistake but I have never said that I accept you as the ultimate authority in ethical and other matters. This is the last time that i say it. Take it as a fair warning if you like; I won't allow you to call me a fraudster on here, and I will call you out for that. You may as well be banned from this board if you continue nitpicking and all that; it''s against the board rules. Defending yourself is OK, but you don't need anymore in my case. Therefore, the last time. stop it and behave yourself in the same way that you want to be treated!!!!!!!

You apologised for one thing, which I thanked you for, and have then continued with your passive aggressive posts about my character, so why should I be expected to change my attitude towards you when you have continued yours towards me?

And threatening me with a ban whilst allowing CT to continue his 'nit picking' of me unchecked (I refer you to his recent posts about Saudi Arabia as evidence) is a little hypocritical, no? Or is it one rule for your buddies and another for somebody who disagrees with you?

I have said countless times that I would like to debate the issues of ESL teaching without the personal insinuations, you lot are the ones who insist on defaming my character, you have been the ones to start that fromnthe very beginning, but I am the one threatened with the ban for defending myself.

You want me to be nicer to you, Turnoi? Take your own advice at the end of the post I quoted above and stop posting about me personally and focus on the issue of ESL teaching, the standards of which we agree on. Which is why I find it so difficult to understand your support of CT (whom by the way I notice you didn't pull up for his post about the PGCE). But like I said, very much a case of one rule for one...
