How old are you, girl?

I think you've really screwed up here. I suggest you bow out now and come back when you've learned a few manners.

Excuse me. What seems to be impolite this time? Which part? Again, I guess that you are too sensitive and whenever you may you are trying to show me my place. I simly do not agree to be taught once and again how to behave. I don't swear, do not tell you that you screw sth up or else. And you do. I wanted to find out what it is all about with this jewish joke. I mean what is its punch line. And she did not answer it. only said it is a word game of some kind. And I read it. Then I was called a twit. Well, fine. Then what was next? some threat that she may kick me out? So what? For what? for curiousity? who cares ...
And now you Mr O'Callaghan.
Your suggestion of bowing out. For what? ...Few manners. Screw you! ...just quoting your vocabulary.

Addressing a grown woman as "girl" is highly insulting as well as being sexist. "Twit" is a very mild phrase often used when somebody is pointing out that somebody has done something silly - it is not at all offensive. And Molly did actually explain what was wrong with your attempted joke - twice.

In addition you have now sworn at me - "screw you" may not be particularly strong but it is nevertheless fighting talk towards somebody who has always been quite civil to you - I merely said you'd screwed up, i.e. messed up, made a serious error ("screw" is not a swearword in this context - it's not even rude).

Do not be surprised if very few people here now reply to your queries - it seems you don't know how to behave on Usenet. There is such a thing as Netiquette which defines what is and is not acceptable behaviour - you have breached this on numerous occasions here. I suggest you do a Google search on Netiquette and take what it says to heart.

People gave you a lot of leeway here because you are a non-native speaker - but there is a limit to what people will put up with - particularly as from your messages it would seem that, on a formal level at least, your English is quite good.

We are trying to be helpful, but you keep putting your foot in your mouth.
