Interesting. That's not how I read it at all.
I believe the "English is my fourth language" comment was in response to someone criticising the OP for his grammar.
I believe that the response of "English isn't my native language, nor is it my second or even third language so give me a break," is entirely appropriate.
I wonder how many of the people attacking the OP's slightly-less-than-perfect grammar and spelling have ever had to communicate in an acquired language. My guess would be zero.
