listen, we ask people kindly not to make their own little national clubs and discuss in english
if that is so hard to accept, i'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

We will accept your decision. You are however a top bloke and we feel you will listen to reasoned arguments. Can't we at least make a claim. The decision is of course yours, but does that mean we can't try to persuade you to the correct our point of view.

So you can understand this statement:
"Got to my mickey, found me way up the apples, put on me whistle and the bloody dog went. It was me trouble telling me to fetch the teapots"

Markos, we don't want to start a club.
We want to talk about dutch politics. Much things I want to discuss contains words that are that specific that I can't translate them.
But I would love it to discuss the current dutch political situation in dutch these days. Things are really upside down over here.

yes, english speaking people can't start their 'own thread' in their 'own langauge' but that would only be an argument if we wanted to start a club or whatsover.
But what I want it to discuss specific things in my native language. If I could speak fluently english, I wouldn't have any problems.
Finally Markos, you should never have spoken in greek yourself as well, if this is that important. I know you are above the law. I even want to respect that. But if you want to enforce the law, you should respect it yourself as well.
Last argument, if we want to get around the censor or use unacceptable dutch words, you wouldn't know anyway. Let me give an example, I won't go against the rules, but you will see what I mean:
imagine I talk about dutch politics:
I'm not sure if I will vote for the "Dit is Onzin" party again. My friend "Hierstaatniks" said that in the 80's prime minister "Vloek Scheldwoord" of this party got a big conflict with "Onacceptabel Woord" of the "Vieze Taal" partij.
You get my point?
Now I ask my question again: is it ok if we speak dutch now and than in the dutch election thread. Not because we want to get around the rules. Not because we want to start a cute dutch-club. Not because we do not respect you as a site owner. But just only because we have a very very exiting political situation overhere in the Netherlands.
thanks in advance.
