Hello Camtieu,
First of, I’ve read some of the links, started by you and 1st comment made by Paddy. Please allow me to say a few, Bác Paddy did put a :-) at the end of his comment, i.e. "jokingly stated" and therefore, i think he meant no harm.
Secondly, here is the link to your original post:
http://community.vdict.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9
So Vdict, didn't remove it, unless it was recently put back :-). (Located at: VDict Community > English language > English study > Reading > Another interesting)
We’re all adults here, mistakes could be made and so could apologies. I don’t think Bác Paddy cares either ways.
Anyway enough is said. I think this topic could be put behind us.
Thanks
