As for being offended by my using the word "liseuse", I did not start this thread, nor have I ever attempted in any way to force the use of the word on anyone else. It is certainly not a "made up" word in any way, although that seems a curious reason for you to feel insulted by it. Regardless, as a french speaker, I can assure you that there is nothing derogatory nor insulting about the word.
As I have said several times already : please feel free to use whatever word you choose, but please also respect the choices of other members even when they differ from yours. Don't hesitate to use the ignore feature of the forum whenever necessary, if you are annoyed by the posts or the vocabulary of any person in particular. I would also like to point out the "ignore thread" feature which you'll find in the thread tools menu at the top of the page, it might save you a bit of irritation to ignore this thread.

As I said.
I'm quite aware of the features of this and other forums. I'm also quite aware of my rights and know when they are being attacked and when I am being insulted. Please re-read and think before you post. Being a moderator is a privilege and carries with it certain standards of behavior and actions.
I have not done anything wrong by objecting to the use of your made up word (be clear! There is no ENGLISH word like this). As I said, if you choose to use it in the French forum feel free. I don't visit there anyway. If you choose to use it in an ENGLISH forum, I have every right to object to it or point out how silly it is.
You called ME a TROLL. I did nothing to invite that. My statements are no different than yours and when I point it out you start with the threatening innuendo. I don't appreciate it. (on another forum that I participate in you can be banned immediately for calling another participant a troll)
