ROFL!! gud job! XD

From:

YES! *snickers*

I mean, I can't read what you've answered, but hopefully it's something very very disrespctful and impolite...^-^
god, I can't believe those idiots! I already wanted to write a reply, but I'll refrain for the moment...later though...}:-> *rubs hands*

From:

All I said was "I have no idea what you're saying". Writing that in a foreign language should illustrate my point pretty well to her. XD

I do believe in diversity and internet bringing all sorts of people together and it might be seen as quite unfair that everyone should use English on the board, but only communication can bring integration and unfortunately most people don't speak that many languages.

you clearly don't work in a public sector organisation in Wales!

From:

*snicker*

From:

*amen* to that!

you are so right! I mean, I can understand what they're saying (which makes the whole thing even more ridiculous and stupid) since German is my mother tongue, but my first reaction was annoyance about the fact that they didn't bother to write this entry in English...in a mostly English speaking community!
but I don't think that they possess enough intelligence to understand what you're implying with your comment...*facepalms*

p.s.: I so love your icon!

From:

Something for a cosplay group, I'm guessing?

If they ask, then I'll explain. >D

Hehehe, thanks!

From:

yup, and guess what? they are asking for money too...

why? I'd let them die stupid...*smirks*

your icon...*dead*...who's pillar is that if you don't mind me asking?...*snickers*

From:

SIGH.....

That's Shirota's pillar! :D

From:

*even more nosebleed*

I am going to change my icon to Saito now, in hope that you have his as well...*wanders off in search for tissue*

From:

XDDD Unfortunately I have no icon of Saito's pillar!

From:

that's a shame! I mean there soooooo should be one, since...yeah, well it's Saito! ^-^

I just gotta applaud you for having the strength to keep that argument up :P I went a few rounds and got frustrated by her not really understanding what I was saying (lost in translation, I guess?).

The sad (well, not sad for me XD;;;) fact is that English is the language spoken by more people as a second language than any other language in the world. It's the language you're probably going to be able to find someone to speak with if you're in a random foreign country (on average, at least), so it makes sense that it's the language of the net.

IIRC there are a few non-English comms aren't there? Isn't there one for the Pinoy girls? On those comms--sure, you'd be expected to speak the language of the comm. On a generic comm, where only English has been spoken? English, hon. English. I find it hard that you could so easily "forget" to post something in the language everything else is posted in, but I guess it's an accident -_-;;

From:

Yeah, there was a lot of going round in circles with me trying to explain what I explained before, and then going "you thought I said WHAT?" orz But English isn't my native language, so I cut people a lot more slack when it comes to things like that.

Lots of people on the comm aren't native English speakers, but they try anyway, and I really love that because it promotes integration. I mean, they could be great people, but I wouldn't know unless we start talking to each other and English is the common language. Maybe if we become friends I can start learning a bit about your language and culture! But the first step has to be communication in a way we all understand. The "comm rules said nothing about this being an English comm" excuse is just so, so lame. The comm rule also didn't say you can't announce on the comm that you're going to stalk uh, Shirota Yuu for serious. It is Tenimyu related, but sometimes... you know? A line needs to be drawn. So I totally agree with you!

I think there are German and Spanish comms, but not sure about other languages. Personally I would've settled for English intro + LJ-cut to German text, since that comm is large and all that...

She said she forgot. *shrug* I'm more "..." about her making me out to be a bad person out of other people who also replied, because I tried to give her a suggestion to turn the situation around. Meh.

From:

I so have to 2nd what

fencer_x said...

she only replied to me once (and that in German) and I already saw that this is a lost case, because if someone is stubborn and stupid, I'd rather save my energy for something else...*shakes head*

still thinking of pillar Saito icon...seriously somebody needs to make this baby! ^-^

Word. I almost commented with a lecture on multinational comms, English as the lingua franca of this world, the purpose of region/language specific comms and so on. But then I though, sod it, and went back to work. XD;

One does wonder, though, would she think it alright if others posted in Korean, Chinese, Norwegian, Spanish and so on...

From:

solaas.livejournal.com

Sigh. Would've been okay, I think, if posted under a cut, with an English explanation on top. But man, this is the sort of post you ask for permission from the mods before you make, in any case. @_@

Hooray for my 4 years of German experience in junior/high school!

I don't know. I just don't know anymore. *dies*

You're not bad, you're goddesslicious, it reads as if something I would write.

MWAHAHAHAHA!

I haven't been to the comm in years, I don't like flame wars, but I only just managed to keep myself from answering her. What a stupid idiot.

From:

I particularly loved the way she kept saying I was impolite, like a little bit of sarcasm was such a big deal and so traumatising OMG.

From:

My comment, obviously in German so I could get some cred with her, was along the lines of The person showing a lot of attitude here, is YOU, missy. *shakes head*

I am actually almost amused at her tone. I mean, she is the one who made not one but two mistakes here, not counting the content of her post at all, which might well be legit, and yet she takes that tone with *you* of all people, someone who's been around the PoT and Myu fandom for what must be going on what, five years now? The way she talks down to you just leaves me speechless.

From:

Just four years. XD

I don't mind who's been around for longer and that sort of thing. The thing that frustrates me is all her responses are based on my first comment to her, regardless of what I said to her in the comments that followed. Because my initial comment that was very short and she couldn't understand was just SO BAD AND NASTY that she couldn't read anything else I had to say. orz

[edit] That said, when she said to me "To your teacher or your principal you wouldn't talk like that. Think about it why you wouldn't." I just totally went WTF? Who do you think you are???

From:

Yeah, that was also what made me roll my eyes and just give up on her. I can't decide if she's just very young or a bit silly or both. I read her LJ for a bit and was a little scared. >_> >_>

From:

Her latest is "Stop this stupid comments. I won't answer any more to them. No matter what you write. You will just make yourself to an absolutely idiot."

At which point I went "......." and prodded the mods. They replied quickly and said they're looking at it.

I try to put it down to miscommunication, I really did. But.... argh!

From:

Yup, I just looked, all the threads are frozen.

And no, I don't think miscommunication is the problem, I think she doesn't have a clue what she's talking about. It's actually a little sad, because she is the one who looks like a dolt, not you. :/

Okay, no really, I have to say it, because this isn't personal. HOW, when posting to a big com like that, do you forget to write at least an intro in English????? I don't get it. Sure it mightn't say in the rules that English has to be lingua franca, but DUDE. And also, how do you not cut an entry as long as this, *especially* if it's not in English? She gives Germans a bad name, that's what she's doing. And then, she's all bitchy and entitled. She's from Cologne, too. HMPF.

From:

Seriously. Five more minutes in her journal... she is young.

From:

She claims to be born in 1988. =_=

As it turned out, half the time when she said "German" she meant "people living in Germany" rather than "people who are German in nationality". And then she got all pissed off when people misunderstood her.

It's a bit worrying because now I go on it and I see almost all the comments have been screened - apart from mine. >> Maybe the mods are trying to read what's been said and there are too many coments, all jumbled up. Maybe the OP did it for whatever reason. Ah, I just don't know.

[edit] Oh, right, it means everything's been screened, but when I go of course I can still see my own comments. orz I'm stupid. (except I can still see a few comments from other people... what dooes this mean? XDDDD)
