It's no wonder why people are "affraid of americans" (to quote David Bowie's song) nowadays!

Nothing that i've done here in SITO has anything to do with my country, my people or my native language: i alone am responsible for my acts!

And for a few of them i already made sincere apologies and gave exhaustive explanation!

But all the guys i've involuntarily pissed off tried to hit me using "arguments" such as:

"I guess the word collaboration doesn't translate into Portuguese"
(by our heideggerian fellow Sein und Zeit)

or

"What's the Portuguese for "lazy anarchist"?" (by OED himself).

...As if i couldn't understand the meaning of both "lazy" and "anarchist"...

Smells like ethnical pedantry, don't you think?

Anyway, i really expect that my motives could be understood and that all animosity could disappear! After all, there's really no reason for any!
