Frans Wind, Dutchie and USExpat all write in exactly the same style...

not sure what you mean...
but lets just say that I hate to see people being taken for a ride...and if that makes me a bitch or insensitive or whatever...so be it....I won't lose any sleep over it, as you well know.

So let everyone who feels that way say so openly - then when Europe wakes up, USExpat can read your views, and will have the chance to respond.....

anyway...on a more general note...we say the most horrible things about royalty, celebrities etc...and no one bats one eyelid...this is a poster that no one has ever met, could be anyone, the internet is a strange place...and it's all of a sudden different...

but if I am wrong, I apologize...

sure...thing is, they might not want to, and why should they....
I am the bitch on here already so I don't mind...I just thought it was very weird for 3 men with ties to the USA and Holland and with exactly the same use of language, words, expressions, all having met, etc to come on BE and post like they have...it's just an observation...and I have posted that before on here...so it's not like I am saying anything new...just seems weird, that's all...and if it is not genuine, than that's bad.

So where is your Christmas goodwill spirit? Do you honestly think that someone would take that much trouble just to wind up a few expats over here? We are small fry and not really worth it.

I have no idea why anyone would do that...I just made an observation based on what 3 users have written, that's all.

MH - I really hope what you say turns out true, I'd much rather it is a wind-up than true, because I felt awful reading the two posts......
