Archives*sigh* Magia . . .
in reply to a message by Magia
I'm telling you that it is irritating - I felt irritated.
In several previous discussions on this topic (not instigated by me) it was agreed that private conversations like that shouldn't happen. I believe it was Norwegian or Swedish last time, and the perpetrators (I think Caprice was one of them) were happy enough to agree to always translate their comments.
I have participated in small conversations in Italian in the Lounge, in the context of discussing the Italian language - not in the context of having exclusive conversations on the etymology board.

Well...
Still, I don't share the opinion of people *not* using another language. It comes in handy and necessary for the sake of a better communication.
I have been a member of BtN, long enough to know how to behave on the message boards. I can tell you nothing I do is in order to "irritate" or disrespect any of the other posters and I haven't.
Like I said, if I see it fit I will use another language (I feel it is inappropriate to be asked *not* to) and I will gladly translate, below if necessary or by request.
Not intending to pick a fight here, just making my position clear to avoid further discussion of the matter.

Agree.........
I don't see anything wrong with quick conversations in other languages...mainly because they're always willing to translate. And I think we did have this conversation, and there was a consenus that it was fine.
