Dear Christine, thanks for post. Yes, there are a couple of things in particular I would like to know. This is apropos of a platonic friendship that recently ended badly. I don't understand what happened, or why, and maybe it has nothing to do with cultural differences, but maybe it does.

Why do Irishmen WANT to act the idiot?

Why do Irishmen WANT to hug all the men in the bar?

If an Irishman is closeted gay, is there any way to tell?

Are Irishmen more likely to use ad hominem arguments?

All for now.
