  3. I have asked you about 3 times to send me a PayPal invoice to make me able to contribute money to support your great works but haven’t received any answers from you. These behaviours towards a person who wants to support your Amazing jobs are not professional and acceptable, in my view.

  4. Let’s behave more friendly and fairly towards each other. Let’s be a lion not a sheep to fight for our freedom and protect our privacy invasion. In addition, don’t allow anyone to ask us to stop people from having their freedom and privacy plus law and order.
    Sorry to disturb you

  5. Hi dear, I don’t know any real teachers who stop their students from protecting their privacy, from fighting for their freedom, from using what they have formed. Now you can delete my comment just because of your refusal to give it approval, it is your website and could do anything you want. But I have always given you all my love and thanks for all you have done to help and support students across the world to learn English.
