'Moi' is Finnish for 'Hello', and 'Moi moi!' means 'Bye bye!

[Machpoint005]

I'm glad it means something to somebody.

[stickleback]

I'm glad it means something to somebody.

I'm not at all sure that it does...

[Nightwatch]

I'm not at all sure that it does...

nor am I. Tree is such a happy go lucky person. Not sure I would be in similar circumstances.

 

However, I mean no offence, I do think twice about reading Trees posts. But end up doing so because of the above.

 

Must take longer writing 'moi' instead of 'me'.

 

But I'm not letting it get to me, too much. Honestly, it doesn't effect me...................no, really, it doesn't.

 

Keep it up for moi.

What a nice post, tree there are some extremely kind and generous people on this forum - we've been lucky enough to be helped out in various ways across the years by several of them (they know who they are!)

Oh..yer learn some at new every day

 

Moi just says ' hiya or aye up' ...and 'tarra'

tis quite enchanting and heartwarming to meet such woverly, kind, helpful people who become good friends, and glad to say moi has met oddles..also lol met a few crab apples haha..but moi has a good defence ..by ignoring them, as ain't got time for grumpy people in moi world, as life is far too short

I'm glad it means something to somebody.

Aww..bless ..tis so easy to just click IGNORE ..moi ..that's Tree ..just to simplyfy

tis nowt more than 'tree talk' which makes moi smile and imo, something no matter how small, which can bring a lickle bit of sunshine into your life, no matter how gloomy that life can be at times is a good thing.

Why some people get so cross astounds moi at times, because at the end of the day, nowt moi writes is rude or offensive..tis just moi play on a few words. In the great scheme of living on our wondrous planet, far more important things to be concerned about.

 

no one is forced to read moi posts..the choice is ultimately up to each person..if moi don't like what anyone posts ..then a click on the ignore button works extremely well for moi..its really that simple

Life is really far to short to get worked up about lickle things..its about enjoying life,making the best of what you have, caring for your fellow human beings and most of all being happy.

 

To be honest moi did think of not posting, as it is unfair to other posters to have their threads, sadly taken off topic due to some people making moi ' treetalk' an issue.

 

Hmm..then thought stuff that for a lark, moi ain't gonner change as done nowt horrid to anyone..those who don't like it don't have to read it

..end of chapter haha..

Genuine question Tree.

 

Do you talk in this way face to face?

[tree]

Genuine question Tree.

 

Do you talk in this way face to face?

Well obviously do not need to use 'moi' when stood in front of someone face to face.... moi also growls when cross and purrs when something makes me smile or happy, when moi is giving a talk ectera... will try moi best not to let a couple of moi words slip out...tis quite difficult though... and sometimes they do lol.

 

Non of moi clients mind at all.. infact whilst helping one of my clients work on her computer recently, we kept having slight technical problems and didnt realise that moi was growling lol.. only later during a cup of tea it came up and we had such a good laugh about it

 

Moi is often reminded of the growling/purring by moi 'saplings' hahah... erm.. Mamma!! you are making your noises again... oh!! fiddlydash replies moi ..sowwry

 

Tis moi... warts and all, and as you know moi will not change anything about my character just to please others

 

Plus no way is ' treetalk' a form of psycological bulling, as that is just daft and is not how moi rolls ..but it dont mean to say that moi cannot give as good as moi gets

Good for you tree, I think we should all communicate in the manner we feel comfortable in. I tend to blend with whoever I am with.

Every post I have seen by Tree is like that. Do you really think that every time she posts she is bullying & all that other stuff you said? Aimed at you presumably?

[DeanS]

I think Tree is GREAT...and I have never met her. I love the fact she's different to the rest of you ole farts on this forum

[Tuscan]

phew glad moi dont live in a world like that

 

Moi neither !!

[Machpoint005]

I think there may be some serious insecurity issues, and whilst I'm perfectly happy to accept that she can post whatever she wants, so can I.

I'm not the slightest bit offended, but her motivation interests and concerns me.

 

All I can see is 'look at me, I'm an individual, I'm so much a one-off that I can post in whatever form I want and if you don't like it, tough, I don't care'.

 

Telling me (or anyone else) that we can just use the 'ignore' facility is a bullying tactic asserting a desire not to modify inappropriate behaviour. I'm just trying to understand why. Many bullies were themselves bullying victims when younger.

 

phew glad moi dont live in a world like that

 

It's called the real world, dearie.

[Tuscan]

Oh dearie dearie me , what is the inappropriate behaviour of which you speak, not yours I hope.

[Paul's Nulife4-2]

Well,

I wish moi could talk French or Latin.

Well I know which is the bully and it isn't Tree. I love Tree's posts and I enjoy Nigel's as well. It makes the forum so much more interesting. Those that don't like them are bullying by bringing up the subject regularly.. If some don't like them ignore them and stop going on about it

I read this diatribe and it strikes me that actually you could be the bully.

 

The "ignore" feature of this forum is there for a purpose; moi suggest you use it.

As a former English teacher I first found Tree's use of "moi" a trifle offensive and difficult to read. English has a certain "flow" to it and using "moi" breaks the flow. But I thought her posts were worth reading so now I just substitute the correct English pronoun for "moi" wherever it appears and it takes all of about three paragraphs and your mind is programmed to not even see the "moi"s anymore.

 

Aside from the "moi" thing, she uses very good punctuation, which makes her writing clear and easy to understand. Have you ever tried to read the garbage written by clowns who think it is cute to omit any and all punctuation or capitalization?

 

Anyway, Tree seems to have a good heart and she effectively communicates what she wants to say. Since what you say about her writing is way off base from a linguistic standpoint, and pretty obtuse from a humanistic one, perhaps you should look within and try to gain a little introspect into your own insecurities rather than try to project them on her.

Hmm..let's put this to bed shall we ..

1. Insecurity issues erm..nope

2. As you state ' she can post whatever she wants,so can I' ..true as long as it is not horrid.

3.What ever you chose to see in moi posts is entirely up to you..

4.If you don't like how moi posts, then tis also true that moi don't care what you think, because your replies are often sarcastic.. Just being honest ..cannot be fairer than that.

5.moi is just moi ..just like you are you..different individuals

6.The use of an ' ignore' feature is common on internet forums..so advising people of that facility is..in your words 'bullying tactic' ..hmm..moi thinks its just advice.

Finally lol why should moi be of such interest to you, you do not know me and we shall never meet.Therefore to imply that moi is some kind of bully is bordering on the rediculous, you do not know moi.

 

It's called the real world, dearie.

phew!! .not the real world moi lives in

 

Apologise to everyone else for such a long reply, but moi is only trying to help the poster out, by highlighting his innacuracies. Why he feels the need to continue to grumble at moi posts, when they bother him so much is a mystery, he knows what to do to make him feel better

[Graham Davis]

Greenie to Paul for his post above, plus a virtual one for Tree as moi has run out today.
