I think the problem is with your writing style. Everything you say is put
down by you as a Universal Truth, and you seem so adamant to show all of us
wrong. Maybe this is caused by your lack of understandig of the English
language, or maybe you are just an arrogant prick. Either way, it pisses
some people of. Personally, I am not really offended by your posts, and I
even think that some people here overreact. Just because your theories are
somewhat unorthodox, doesn't mean that they are untrue or uninteresting.

Also, you often seem to misinterpret what some of us are saying. You assume
we don't understand the principles of what you are saying, but in fact it is
often hard to understand what exactly you mean at all. This makes the
discussion a little difficult. Frankly, I think your grasp of English is
just not firm enough to have a conversation about lingusitics at this level,
without causing confusion.

I encourage you to stay here and participate, but I encourage you even more
to improve your english, so you can express yourself better and maybe make
your arguments more convincing.
