I didn't mean to accuse you, or anyone else in particular, I just
wasn't sure where this idea that I wanted to _make_ anyone do this was
coming from - and I thought it was very confusing that anyone would
think it would make things difficult for ESL users because I thought
initially that people were saying that such posts would be hard for
ESL users to understand, not to compose.

I suppose this is just yet another illustration of why an incorrect
paraphrase is much better than a direct (and, needless to say,
absolutely technically correct) quote with an incorrect interpretation
with no mention of what the interpretation is. At the time I suggested
that FUD was being spread, it was mainly because it was right after
I'd read Lee Storm's message saying she'd blocked my messages, so I
was feeling attacked, and just a little angry at whoever was
responsible for all these misunderstandings (if it was in any way
deliberate on anyone's part).

I hope so.
