We should be handing out bans for anyone not speaking English on this forum. Especially for people just throwing baseless insults at American historical figures, whether they're from the old days or more recent history. And don't even get me started on how I'm getting banned constantly when I’m being perfectly civil. All I do is call a paramilitary what he actually is, and suddenly...

And let all those paramilitaries just speak perfectly in their native language! 😁
No worries at all, ☕
plus, fadedeagle39 is my inspiration 👍 because hey, an apple is an apple and a worm is a worm,
there shouldn't be a ban for telling the truth in a normal world... man, what kind of place have I stumbled into? 😵

I suppose it’s necessary... primarily because those other gentlemen seem to be doing it on purpose just to be insulting. But then again, they have their own little corners of the internet to frequent. Personally, if I found myself browsing an American, German, Italian, or Russian forum, I would make a point of writing in their native language if I were capable... and if I weren't? Well, I simply wouldn't participate at all.

Honestly, if you’re actually bothered by people here speaking a language that sounds like your own—which, from what I can tell, you clearly understand—then maybe you should just look into nationalizing this entire forum. It’s going to get even harder for you once you run into people from different backgrounds.🙄
Go ahead, try to ban everyone who isn't a "true" American, or whatever version of a "real" patriot you've cooked up in your head. You want a pure American forum without any "outsiders" intruding? Fine.🙄

Go ahead then, demand a total ban on anyone who isn't a true-blue American, or a half-hearted American, or an American with a capital A. Just a pure, pristine American forum, free from any "outsiders."🙄
Let them stay on the forum if they want, but they better respect the language used by the majority!

Let them have their space on the forum, but they need to respect the language the majority uses!
And how exactly is the "majority's" language not being respected?

By speaking a different language....

Jose Cook40 said:Speaking a second language...
So, speaking a second language implies that only Americans should be posting here, because they're the only ones who speak the language.
I guess that means saying "English only" equals "Americans only."
Just wanted to make sure us "outsiders" were on the same page.
On our forums, you can write in English or Spanish—as long as we understand each other, it works. That's just how we roll.

Especially regarding the baseless attacks on American historical figures, whether they’re from the past or recent history. And I'm not even getting banned constantly while I'm being perfectly polite. The only thing I say is that a paramilitary is a paramilitary, and goodness me... when it comes to...
What about bans for bad grammar, typos, or sentence structures that don't fit the spirit of the American language? 😍
But if you're polite and sweet—which you are, my dearest forum member. :inlove:

Drew Brooks8 said:By mentioning a second language... it basically implies that this space is reserved only for Americans, because apparently, we're the only ones who speak our native language.
So, I guess "writing in American" equals "being an American."
Well, just so the rest of us "outsiders" are aware...
On our forums, you can write in English or any other dialect—as long as we understand each other, it works. That’s just how we roll.
Feel free to join the conversation, too... but stick to American...

If only the usernames were in English too...☕

Jepa, when you're writing in the heat of battle, who gives a damn about the details..😁
Well, if you're being sweet and polite—which you are, my dearest forum lady. :inlove:
Oh my god, seriously..? 🥳Thanks a lot, I'm feeling so full of myself now.. though I'll probably get banned soon anyway since I called some celebrity a rat.. and embellished a few other details.. so, cheers to you.👋

Jong net... exclusively for those Americans who can actually handle at least three rounds a day!

Jose Cook40 said:You guys can join the discussion too, but keep it in English...
Can't you just let people write in their own native language and leave them alone? 🙂

My inbox is always open to you, even if you decide to turn traitor one day. 🙂
