Yes you have to be quick here which is sometimes difficult when you are trying to express complex if not inchoate ideas@Alessandro oh yes ... I totally agree with you. I loathe the fawning under the videos more than the videos actually, and I completely agree with your first statement entirely. I would love to live in Italy but I realise that it's possibly not a sensible decision for me, having visited many times over the years, unless I were rich enough to buy a place and have a private income to support myself while I write or whatever. I do think it's dangerous - especially the business proposition over the rental for the restaurant in an out of the way place which would be hard enough to make a success of at the best of times, let alone in the middle of a pandemic and a recession which will doubtless follow.
I would also like to underline that I do choose my words carefully and with sensitivity and when I realised that the ONE thing that I have said in hundreds of posts that could be construed as insensitive I followed up with an apology IMMEDIATELY, One only has a short timespan to make edits here, unfortunately.
Jerry I have been posting here for longer than you have. We are only allowed one username on this site. I have nothing to do with the characters you site above. Generally we are all singing from the same hymn sheet. Will you kindly stop bullying me now.
As far as the other issue goes, Antonio took it gracefully, as I recall, and made no complaint. I wouldnβt think about it again. Your impetuosity (while still being thoughtful!) is one of your most charming characteristics as an interlocutor
