Dear Mr. Eikel,
You do not seem to understand.
I was not calling you names at all, I merely translated your name into English, for D!ckhead is the correct translation of the Dutch word 'Eikel'.
Apparantly you are offended quickly and with the same speed you jump to conclusions and think it neccesary to generalize by stating that arrogancy is typical for Dutchmen, not knowing me at all.
Therefore maybe I should call you 'Dik', which also is a Dutch name.
In the Indonesian Language the word 'Dik'also exists, it is short for Adik. This word is used to address people younger than the speaker and I am convinced you must be younger than I, according to your immature reactions.
What person calls himself 'Eikel' I wonder?
Kind regards,
Wim Kok (The Hague)
