[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7744195, member: 92239"] I hear what you're saying about ridicule of cultures but.. 1. For the sake of argument, you're annoyed by the use of words in a context you're taking them in. 2. You do not know for certain if that was the person's intention. In fact, it's likely it wasn't. 3. Again for the sake of the argument, you're annoyed, because of your own interpretation. 4. So if anything was disrespectful here that's absolutely certain, its your own feelings about how your culture is perceived. Now I'll admit to being the whitest of white guys, pure blooded Scot.. if the OP had said "haggis, haggis, haggis" I would have understood him properly and not been annoyed at all. Same with anything else in the language unless he was getting antagonistic and it was obvious. Suggestion would be to contact the person via PM if it's a problem, just to figure out where he's coming from. If he's a dink, then do what you have to do publicly. Be well KB [/QUOTE]
