I am not trying to rock the boat seeing as how I am fairly new here. But because I am the way i am i feel as if I have to say something. I am praying that this will not get me kicked or banned for life. But even though a majority of us do speak English as a main language. I feel as if it is not fair to ban it only to that. I think that if some of the girls found something else in common that it should not be a problem. Because I am imagining that not all of Diana's fans are only English speaking. And if this the website. I would think that we would want to join as her fans and be proud of her work not start petty fights with one another because someone was posting in Spanish. And to be honest with you. I was nosy and I went to ALTAVISTA.com and translated the message and there was nothing rude about it at all. In fact I thought it was a normal post if not a little cool seeing fans bond this way.
Now if it is a rule not to post in other languages. I apoligize. Because I did not see that anywhere, but i am known to become passionite about a subject and feel as if it is my god given right to speak on it.( Just one of my own little flaws that I seem to have.) But I would think hope to think that Diana would be proud that her fans coming together as friends and finding things in common and that the reason some of these people are friends are because of the amazing things that she writes.
