Obligatory input... Stop mudslinging. Just stop... If you still cant comprehend how non-natives who have spent their entire life learning and writing in English do it. Please stop the name tagging..... We both know what im talking about...

Assumptions are really bad ..."I think" ...Please spend your limited useful time on yourself. Namaste....

Actually, I apologize for the part of the post to which you were likely responding (which i have edited out). I had initially posted my doubts about your story in your thread. However, i decided shortly after posting that it was not worth the hassle and deleted it. When i wrote the sentence that reffed you above, i forgot i had never posted anything about it.

I can't be 100% certain that your story isnt true, but it seems fake to me for a variety of reasons, only one which is your diction.

It seems very likely to me that many others noticed what i noticed as well. the post would certainly cause a non-biased person to question the veracity of your claims.
Had you not been one of the chosen few, this would have likely been brought up at the time you posted.

However, i will not broach the subject again. I decided to let sleeping dogs lie at the time and ill abide by that decision.

Stella, I was unaware that you had verified his identity. I run a law practice mainly focused on helping non-us residents do business in the US , and I have clients from every continent except antartica, including africa. Educated people from other cultures are what keep me fed and housed.

Though i concede my suspicions were ultimately untrue, they were neither based on prejudice or malice

incidentally, i have no idea what name tagging is. EDIT: oh i get it. Labeling.

I knew infovore from other social media sites. Questioning his identity after a respected Steemian has verified his identity is just wasting time.
American ignorance about educated Africans is the cause of a lot of this.
Once you realize that just because someone is African, doesn't mean that they are uneducated, you'll start to see the light. Being a middle-class African is also something Americans cannot fathom. Many people from undeveloped countries are educated, you just never see them on mainstream news.
