I must say that I totally trust this testimony: what people feels is an objective part of their own realm although it could be seen subjective from the outside.<br clear="none">

Just a highly probable hypothesis to try to put some calming to this personal situation.<br clear="none">
Cultures does matters. Difference of cultures makes a lot of ...difference.<br clear="none">

I spent 2 years in assignment in the US back in 1984 (in the deep South), coming from my mediterranean culture.<br clear="none">
Every time I was getting anger (and in my culture we do not repress this state of mind, we just express our anger) I realized that some people around me felt physically threaten (in spite the fact I have never rised the hand to anybody and I am totally uncapable of any physical agression). It really impressed me a lot and obliged me, since i was living there, to try to adapt and change somehow behavior. I am not familiar with Indian culture but I wonder if we are not facing the same type of situation and my guess is that it is highly probable.<br clear="none">

I do recommand the reading of US citizen author Edward T. Hall's "The hidden dimension" who brightly explained how cultural chocks create strange situatrons... and to cool down.<br clear="none">

Conclusive question : are we supposed, on the top of being fluent in English, to embrace US culture in order to be allowed to participate in an IGF event?<br clear="none">
