> as much as it is him being petulant and childish. While I've been on the wrong end of his comments more than once, I think it's fair to defend him on two counts:
1) anyone would be protective of their 'baby,' and assp is currently very much his baby; 2) his natural language is German, and German can come out sounding harsh to an anglophone, due to German's grammar and use of words. In this case, it's often his parsing of sentences that makes him seem harsh, not the content. For these reasons alone, I tend to cut him more slack than I might others. > I do, however, believe that Fritz could relax a little and remember the reverse of item 2 applies, too: imprecise english sentences can often seem to imply something in German that is not contained in their intent. Please let's not let this thread degenerate into a flame war. If any of us have something that needs to be said one to one, please do so off the list. Thanks.
