I knew you couldnot keep your word, Lina

Luigi, as I said before, I am part North African myself so you can leave that out of it. Neither am I ashamed of my British heritage, despite its more negative attributes.

If you feel that way, get out of the West and live in North Africa instead. The solution is very simple, and I have no tolerance for people who insult the country they live in---neither does Hisham. Keep that in mind should you ever ask for his advice.

Also, I stated that I no longer wish to communicate with you on this blog (although it hasn't been shown...), as you are targeting and bullying me.

Oh, quit whining, Lina! I started off real easy on you, but you insisted that you were adult. Just because people respond to you who do not agree does not mean they are targeting or bullying you, and you know full well I respond to others.

Above all, if you do not want to talk to me, it's very simple:

Don't respond!

Jeez, I have more diplomatic debates with my preteen sister.

Ugh, here we go with the debates again. Why can't you just see reality for what it is?

Apparently, it's ok for you to call (or imply) me selfish, shameful, stupid and rude.

Coming on here and bragging about your boyfriend or father's ethnicity is selfish, rude and shameful, especially considering the nature of this blog.

How apt of you to say all this on the holiday season, supposedly the season of "Goodwill" for Christians/Catholics. And you call me hypocritical. ...

Psh, EVERY time of the year should be goodwill for Christians, not just Christmas.

Boo-hoo I support Lisa. I have every right to post whatever I want on here, as long as it follows the rules, just as you do.

You really should not even have to say so.

Boo-hoo my Moroccan stepfather has been a better role model to me than my natural one.

I just could not help but find it ironic how you felt the need to mention his ethnicity. Almost to say as if that's the reason he's better.

You would be ashamed to be my father - Ha! The feeling would be mutual. Why would you be so ashamed, Luigi? Hm, I guess due to my *shudder* converting to the Other Side, and indulging in those forbidden, dangerous Arab men.

First of all, your man is not Arab, he's Egyptian. Secondly, I would not want my daughter to waste her time clowning around on the internet defending my ethnicity when there is nothing to defend.

There are no sides, and I've known decent Arab and Muslim men. Two were my roommates, you know.

Pandering to Moroccans and my Egyptian boyfriend. Lol! (excuse my "loling"), but I definitely don't worship Moroccan men, yet I grew up learning not to judge people by their ethnicity.

It does not show. You sure like to talk about it a lot. So do all the relationship defenders. They make darn sure we know what country they come from.

As for my Egyptian boyfriend, yeah, tossing him into a sentence or two on an internet comment can definitely be perceived as "pandering". I don't need your approval, Luigi, and please leave him out of this.

(shrugs) You brought it up, and I think it's extremely pathetic that you have to defend relationships on here, perhaps even just to make yours, a real-life encounter, seem better?

If I were to ask for advice from anyone on here, it would be from Hisham Zein, who is well-informed, doesn't resort to petty insults, and doesn't feel threatened by intelligent women.

Can't say I feel threatened, Sorry, and Hisham, like the other posters who tend to see things more my way, are busy a lot of the time with their lives and own families. They do not have the teenage luxury to bounce around on-line stirring up conflict for selfish reasons.

Come on Luigi, I'm in my teens but I've never dated online, and would never send lump sums of cash to persons from two of the world's most infamous scamming cultures, Russian and Nigerian. If you're so on the game, Luigi, why are you on here?

Well, I have not seen a case of Russian of Nigerian ask for advice on here yet. I'm just here to help. That's all.

You're farther along than I was at your age in terms of on-line dating.

I ask you not to respond anymore, your obsession with my posts is verging on unhealthy,

Sorry you feel that way, but I wonder who is obsessed. It was your friend Isis who was googling information about me and I know that you and several others read just about everything I say, laying in wait for somone else to perk up the courage and say "Luigi!" or some other silly thing.

It's also not healthy to be on-line for non-constructive purposes, like finding a relationship with someone with an entirely different worldview who lives 8000 miles away.

and I will now ignore all own your posts.

That's what you said earlier

Also, please cease dedicating entire posts to me, with my name in the title. Every individual on here has the right to listen to who they want to you, as adults.

Wow, I think you're letting this go to your head, Lina. I type in reader's names on occasion so they know who the message is for and sometimes I reference them in the post.

Beyond that, Lina, I'm really not interested in bonding with you.
