I normally see myself as a fair bloke.

I agree with Breaker - It did come across as you TELLING Dan and Rach that Capoeira WILL KILL the Program.

Then MrRocket offended you, and it turned into Racism (which by the way I apologise to any Portuguese if I offended you by wrongly translating your word "esquiva")

Did come across as "I'm right and you will listen to me! Muah ha ha ha haaaa" which I assume is why you've had to be on the defensive.

People read the words but not always the tone.
