: : Kerri rock the boat, speak your mind, that's what I did and I just posted a reply to Ronnie and I hope she comes back and reads it and if she's like my human nature she will come and read what I have to say and others too.
: : My main point is if you speak another langange just don't assume that the people you speak to are able to read it plus this the a public board were anyone read, you read, I read, EVERYONE read it but most of us don't know it. You even went to a translation site and translated to know what in the world she was talking about. Good for you but you know what??? Most people won't think of going to a site like that. Again this board if you notice is primarly English speaking, so just be poliet in adding a translation and not assume we can understand it. If you're a fan from another country please speak up and talk to us, we like to know where you are and learn things about you.
: : I NEVER ever said any word about Banning a langausge at all, PLEASE don't be putting words in my mouth!!! I said if you speak another langauge put a translation with it. You could post a post with every langaunge on this board and with a translation I would be ok this lady went a tad nuts with the posts but atleast I understand what she is saying and cool I think I know some new words in a new langaunge.
: : Second, I NEVER said anything about the Spanish posts having anything rude in them. Again placing words in my mouth.
: : 3rd, I never said anyone to leave this board. What in the world would I want that power??? Only people that should be banned from this BB is SPAMERs and Trolls period.
: : 4th, I'm all for people learning different langanuse I myself tried to learn a few if you read from my post to Ronnie, but I just can't get it so I clap to anyone who can!!!
: : 5th, Let me ask you a question, if you came to this board in am and saw posts in a different langaunge and there's no translation by the author, what would you do, if you didn't know about sites that can translate for you???
: : Mac,
: : YES YES YES YES YES, that's what I mean!!!
: : Yes of course there's going to be tiffs, and I see this as a small one not a big one oh say about a certain book??? Man that was a fight on fight and people got burn and left the BB because of it. I didn't and Amy & Mac didn't because we love Diana and her books.
: : We can be differant, if we are all the same then wha'ts the point of having our own veiws and such???
: : Look at this tiff we are talking in English about it but where's the translation for it??? it's because English is well spoken on this board for over 3 years and counting.
: : Am I getting thur??? Making people understand what I'm talking about or what???
: : Trice
: Trice, not that my opinion is of great import, but I agree about posting translations. Mac's comment was on target about missing body language, etc., too. Now I have a question if you don't mind. I've seen the term elsewhere, but...what's a troll? Pretty sure we're not talking the Three Billy Goats Gruff here... Tonia
I think the main point Trice is getting is this: If you are posting a message to another person in another language beside's english and you can speak/write in english it would be best to at least put a translation with it since the majority of the board only reads/speak's english. I wish I did speak another language and I have the highest reguard for someone who can, unfortunally I can only speak english and not very good english at that. ~Big Grin~ Amy
