New Here - Danielsan - 03-14-2017
Hi All,
I didn't know the older forum was closed so after reading the Pat David's blog I ran here to register myself, however I didn't get this part of your terms:
Quote:The admins do their best to keep this forum fit for all ages, but, due to their European culture, they can come across as rather laid-back on some subjects and tight-fisted on others
I am Italian... So what does it mean?
Probably in the intention of the person who wrote this sentence was to use an ironic tone but honestly it seems quite discriminatory in several ways.
I suggest you to review the tone of this sentence because it is totally against yours final statement:

Discriminatory? How?
Otherwise, compare what you can see/hear on Italian TV (or French, or British, or German) during the prime time and what you can see on American TV on the same hours...

I used to live in Bristol UK and Toronto CA and now I am living in the US, I know very well what means discrimination as well as cultural differences and let me say it again: this sentence sounds discriminatory and might be misinterpreted in both ways.
However because the point 1 you have the last word, by the way mine was just a suggestion but as I raised up the issue you may consider to have a precautionary approach about it.
Friendly a GIMP supporter!
