were there nine crusades? i need an answer.

[narutoguy]

i've checked everywhere on the www but keep finding different answers. just a simple answer. nine or not?

[Mosaic]

Not even bothering to help you any more. But it's fun to see the effort you are going to to get people to do your homework.
Have you tried .......a history book?

[narutoguy]

look mosaic, you're starting to get pathetic. if you want the full story, i'm not very good at history, i've tried my best and it doesn't seem to be good enough. i'm looking for mistakes in my work, so i can correct them. the reason why i go here is because peaple here are interesting and peaple can be more reliable than the world wide web. so if your not going to help, go away and tell someone else to come and help, since you wouldn't.

[mollykins]

We are the world wide web! and you're the being pathetic, getting stranger to do you're homework who could be giving you a load of bull that's completely wrong.

[narutoguy]

if you even listened to what i said, i've done most of my homework, i'm not asking you fools for complete help, i'm just seeing and comparing and checking my homework. so think about why i could be asking before you assume i'm getting you all to do it.

I suspect there is not a simple answer then. Perhaps it depends on one's definition of a crusade. Is the number crucially important?
Have you no text books? Get a book from a library. Interpret what you read on the web.
Or have a word with your history teacher and ask for guidance on how to research and do essays.
Posters have tried to help but you seem not to be grateful for the help you've been given.

...and of course, referring to forum members as 'fools' is a guaranteed way to get them to help you.
While you're down the library, look for an old classic : 'How to make friends and influence people'

[narutoguy]

factor 30, that was the only helpful comment posted on this page. alas, i have no history teacher available, my area of the city bares no library and i have no text books. ill equiped i know. so i cant help it

[joeluke]

OP isn't the 1st and won't be the last to ask questions any of us can easily find answers to on the net

Did he really deserve the negative replies?

[factor-fiction]

Joeluke's link seems a good one. You'll be able to get what you need from there very quickly.

[narutoguy]

two things, whos OP and thanks for the link, it is probaly the most useful one i've recieved.

Thing is Joeluke, if you look back over the last hour's postings in aid of this person, you'll probably conclude that a wind-up is in progress.
There is a fascinating change in his/her writing style which makes me think it's a Saturday morning diversion for someone who craves a bit of attention. It seems to go along the route of reel 'em in, then get increasingly desperate instead of actually going off and doing the task in hand. So each helpful answer, as you see, then brings up another impossible proble.
Bear in mind this is someone claiming to be KS3 ie between 11 and 14 years old.

OP= original poster.
Your link was good joeluke. I think the comments narutguy got were in response to comments he made in the threads for his other questions- I think he's had 3 or 4.
Anyway, the link is good and should enable narutguy to address the question

[ChuckFickens]

it seems the OP has checked everywhere on the www......

apart from google and wikipedia, probably the two main sources for finding information!

People only wind us up if we let them

No-one forces us to reply to posts

[kawakiri]

Another link which may help. Media URL: http://www.medievalsources.co.uk/portal_crusades.htm
Description: Crusades information

[narutoguy]

ok then.............. mosaic, your probably overlooking this and being a bit snobby to be honest. just cos you know alot ( apparently) doesn't mean that i do. so shut your mouth and go away if your not going to be helpful. and no, im really not trying to make friends with you.

[Mosaic]

Joe, this one has made 4 posts inside an hour, all on same subject, and had 47 answers, many of which were helpful. Then s/he becomes abusive to members. Then claims to live in a wilderness where there are no books (but with excellent connectivity). Think about it.
Nobody is forcing me for one to do anything I don't want to do, including suspecting a wind-up.

[ChuckFickens]

How old are you narutoguy?
