could it be, and I'm serious here, something to do with the name of the gentleman inviting them to the forum

parisien ??

there are 2 types of people in france....people from paris........and everybody else.
In my experience " everybody else" cant stand parisiens
so no, nothing you said, maybe just what they think you are.

Try it again , but this time tell them your a paddy.

P your opening line states
"Hello
This is my first deal of hope saying that the board will include more translation is courtesy of babelfish, please excuse any abuse of your tongue!"

Now i dont know about you, but french or not, i dont want any abuse of my tonge and i am not exactly sure what the line implies....
I think you will find that the online translation says something like "your gonna get them to lick your Butt, but dont worry cause you also can supply a good mouthwash" LOL...
I will have a friend of mine who is English but lived in France from 5 years old translate correctly for you if you like P(he is a translator for airbus)
all the best

I didn't say that...babelfish did..........................
