i really really don't want you to construe this as any kind of xenophobia, but this phrase above just doesn't work in english. i have no idea what you meant to convey by this.


I admit, I'm no english man, but the sentence you fail to parse seem

To me it says, that we on this list have no interest in ridiculing
anyone, and especially not someone that formulates his criticism and
suggestions in a constructive way.



Like Ben, I didn't get it the first time either; thanks for the clarification.
