Topic: Filipinos are among the best English teachers here

[Sadly-confused]

But seriously TMU, insulting the wives of another poster shows a total lack of class! Insult the poster by all means, he is a big boy and here to defend himself, but keep away from family, lest you start getting the same back!

The gutter level tone of your insulting posts makes me believe that the only thing you could have taught for 10 years in California was toilet cleaning 101 at the janitors academy!

hey, it was the Custodial Engineers Academy...nobody calls 'em janitors anymore.  and they were good guys, none of their wives waved their middle fingers at me.

So TMU, if my wife gave you the finger, just what handle did she post under and what did she say that offended you?  Anything that can be attributed to MY handle is something I said.  So please explain, how were you so offended that you had to attack someone you don't even know, down Filipino teachers at the same time and insult myself and my wife.  Who said what where?  Please recap for us.  After all, you are on the pro-teacher/pro-Filipino teacher bandwagon, as I am, so what did my wife, who is a Filipino teacher or myself say to you to insult us and Filipino teachers? 

Just curious at what level your mind operates.  At times your opinions ARE valued, even by me, and I've even mentioned it in the past.  Why stoop to school yard stuff when you, at times, come across as a competent professional?  As you apparently work with Filipinos your contributions to this thread are important, but keep it relevant, not insulting to family members.  It only makes you look shallow, stupid and basically someone the majority of the posters ignore, even when you have valued information. 

From the heart....take it for what its worth...we need to stay together or else we'll be like RST and Mods, bickering about school yard stuff instead of covering each others backs.

"BTW, my wife is waving hello, but is only using one finger...."

Your words RR.  Your complaint is as disingenuous as your backhanded compliments.  If you could only go back in time and delete this unfortunate description.

"The Moving Finger writes
and having writ moves on,
Nor all thy piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it."

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam

You seem like an educated fellow.  Cool it on the put-downs already.  It's that simple.

Was this before or after you insulted her?

Enough!
