Thank you guys for the education. I really don’t take meself as seriously as you guys do. Wright, Write, Rite, who cares – well, maybe the two of you. Apologies to both. We are in the same race, human! Thas why we, sorry, I err.

Maybe I should relegate English to the 11th language. Yes!

@Rod
There are as many Sibusiso Kumalo as there are many Rod MacKenzie’s. I am sure that thought must have occupied your mind. However, it the same person that dumb Sibusiso Kumalo that typed both responses. A 1000 apologies sir! I must stop making these me stakes.

I have zero language skills. I can get by quite adequately in my own language, thank you, can understand fairly well Afrikaans. I am married to a lovely Afrikaans lady – she and her family recognise my pathetic linguistic skills and speak to me in English and are happy if I reply in English although the rest of the conversation may be in afrikaans.
I am impressed that you “read and right – sorry wright” (no shame given that its your sixth language but its actually write) six languages
Given that it is your sixth language your English skills are fabulous, really.
But don’t enter into arguments about the correct form a word or the precise meaning of a word when it is your sixth language.
That goes beyond rudeness to arrogance.

I see you have me confused with Adam Currie on the Reader blog, “A white South African refugee heads home”. That was a great blog but my alter ego is not Adam Currie.You wrote: “congratulations, Rod you really speak your mind. You have also recovered well from your “If..” blog.”
The “If” I assume refer to my “And if Ms Semenya were black?” piece.
Unless there are two Sibusiso Kumalos.
Are you two?

To me, well up until your correction, Miss – refers to an unmarried woman as opposed to Mrs who is/was married and Ms who has reverted to her maiden name after a divorse, or what ever! married women who use their maiden names also lose the Miss. That is, in my books!

I still feel strongly about your views on Mokgadi! Please drop the title, China! To be PC don’t call Chinese China! I am almost certain you are not that dumb! Almost!

@ Hugh Robinson: I also noticed Semenya’s strange behaviour, first thought it was shyness but realise it could be that s/he is a good person and feels ashamed of the charade. Would also explain why the ASA does not allow Semenya to speak to the press..

I feel that because of this righteousness they cannot help putting their foot in it at every turn expecting I suppose to be forgiven for erring

I suspect too the equality to these rightoeaus means that one is not allowed to critisize or disagree or show up shortcoming.

That said they have a tendency to make a lot of noise as a diversion / smokescreen when they know they are in the wrong.

One thing that I have always found suspicous is that Caster did not react as expected when she won. All athletes show some emotion at winning. Is that the result of knowledge privy to her and ASA.
