Based on a poorly worded post by Bodd.
Because his post was so poorly worded, afterwards, I looked again to see if it could have been misconstrued. It was, and we both corrected our misunderstanding and mistakes, because we both realised that a misunderstanding had occurred.
Your post absolutely referred to the licence and not the driving. If you worded it poorly, that is not my fault.
You persist that it is my fault for your poorly worded post. That is an example of not accepting your own mistakes.

Now if you had done the sensible and reasonable thing and explained that you had poorly worded your post, without resorting to abuse, I could have accepted that. But your resort to abuse, and refusal to accept that it was your mistake that lead to the misunderstanding is unforgivable.
No, my post about voters who voted in the EU is what I meant, and why I mentioned it. You jumped to the wrong conclusion - why would I immediately talk about someone else's experience with you misunderstanding as first point of reference?

As we are now talking about other people, and you misunderstood Bodd, fair enough. I think too that you've recently jumped to the wrong conclusion over two people and calling them racist...

As I said, if things are badly worded, which yes, sometimes they are, or if words are ambiguous, perhaps stop and ask before jumping down people's throats and trying to point score?

It was a comment about those finding it hard to obtain an IDP, not bothering to, contained within a post about voting.

If things are badly worded, accept that you badly worded your comment and stop trying to blame others for your mistake.
Alternatively, once the misunderstanding has been recognised and accepted that the badly worded post caused the misunderstanding, clarify what you meant and stop resorting to abuse and blaming others.
Bodd and I fundamentally disagree about certain subjects, but we maintain an orderly and gentlemanly discussion, without either of us resorting to abuse.
We have disagreements about what is presented as evidence or proof, but we do not feel the need to resort to abuse.

It is all about etiquette.

And you haven't called me a racist... My English is poor but you lot are helping me to improve. And I've learned a lot of new words. :D

I did explain further what I meant and you refused to accept it.

('actually bother' meaning people would not drive abroad on holiday, not drive without a license).

You quite clearly suggested that people would not bother with the IDP (International Driving Permit)

You were absolutely referring to the obtaining of an IDP.

Yes, it's about etiquette for sure. While I am happy to admit am not perfect, it's about time you realised that you seem look for anything and everything on posts to lord it over people and try and get one up on them, without understanding the post. You read many things incorrectly. Over and over again.

No! I said that your refusal to accept that you had made a mistake and were resorting to abuse and blaming others is unforgivable, and still is, and will remain so until you accept that it was your poorly worded comment that led to the confusion.

Even now, you refuse to accept that you had made a mistake, are resorting to more abuse, and blaming others.

Am sorry, where's your acceptance that you have made a mistake to say that EFL and I are racist???

Did you apologise to Judy... when you said you think she's being racist?
I think someone might be being racist. (Using the socially constructed definition of racism, which is the only one that makes any sense)
Do you regularly admit fault when you've misread and misunderstood my posts, or those of others?
No, I don't think you do.

No apology due. Anone who propounds the theory of racial essentialism is fundamentally racist.
Both you and EFL propound such a theory to justify your, so far undefined and undefinable logic on racism.
Until you accept that you are mistaken I will continue to consider you both as racist.

Did you apologise to Judy... when you said you think she's being racist?
No apology was necessary because I asked a question, "is this racism"? Please explain yourself, She did, explaining that it was not racism.
Therefore no apology was necessary.

I will even try to understand others' poorly worded comments. I will apologise if I consider it's my fault.
On this occasion it obviously wasn't. The fault lies squarely with you, but you won't accept it. You prefer to blame others and resort to abuse.

Sigh.
You mean you can be even more abusive. And you are proud of it?
You don't know the meaning of the word abuse. Nor can you read very well or understand.
Am I proud of it? Proud of what? What has proud got to do with anything?

End of discussion. You have no intention of ever admitting that you made a mistake. You have every intention of resorting to abuse to hide your embarrassment. You have every intention of blaming others for your mistake.
There is no point in continuing the discussion.
