Sailor Steve was quite correct, I was not referring to Olympic style wrestling. That is why I surrounded the word wrestling in single quotation marks, which are referred to as ironic or scare quotes. They indicate that the word is not being used in a standard manner; in this case that that which is called wrestling in this thread is not real wrestling.
He simply pointed out that you did not understand what I had written, which isn't correcting your grammar. It wasn't a personal attack as frankly you could do with spending a bit more time in English class if you do not yet fully understand how quotation marks are used.
Further you were obviously referring to my first post in this thread as I was the only one who had compared 'Wrestling' to a soap opera, which is what you took offense to.

Anyhow this post isn't a personal attack against you. Nor was my first post a personal attack against anyone for liking 'Wrestling', as there are plenty of people who like soap operas too.
