I look at threads based on topic not popularity and assume literally everyone else does too … why wouldn’t they? — I like sushi
I personally don't know whether this is posted with mischief or my lack of 'fluency' is actually the cause of not performing a good discussion. — javi2541997
But when I try to discuss with another member of a serious topic, the interlocutor accuses me of not having a great level of English instead of focusing on the main topic of the OP. I personally don't know whether this is posted with mischief or my lack of 'fluency' is actually the cause of not performing a good discussion.
I wish I could know. I want to improve and maintain 'fruitful' discussions. — javi2541997
But my first thought, reading the above, was that there is an unfortunate tendency to make a discussion into a competition. It's not exactly mischief, but it does tend to undermine what I see as the purpose of discussion. — unenlightened
And having to try and communicate with one who is struggling a little with the language forces one to be more simple and clear if possible, which is always a good thing, but also makes one rethink for oneself ideas that may have become stale. — unenlightened

I was debating with a malicious user about what a paradox is. I tried my best at debating, but the discussion was over because I was not comfortable typing in English, according to him. Here is when the malicious user gets trapped in his own ignorance. It is impossible to say to me that I am not comfortable debating in English if my texts are proofread by a grammar checker. But, I get it. I know I will keep reading similar comments if someone does not agree with me in the future. It is just some of you behave and post with malice. — javi2541997
An AI is unlikely to correct such things because there is actually nothing wrong - but they sound foreign. — unenlightened
