I was about to say that it was already part of the rule, because I have seen that said before. That if you post in non-English then either you need a translation or it should be obvious in context. (For example, if you make a statement, and someone effectively refutes your statement, and you simply reply “Touché” then I doubt you’d get a note.)

But then I checked the rules and it’s not there. I know they are working on simplifying/revising the rules, hopefully they’ll include rules like this one that are difficult to follow because they aren’t actually written down for people to follow.

Not here.

Previously, I’d held to a position where pretty much any sort of insult was allowed, short of racial slurs. I used this standard because I felt it was about as objective as possible, but it’s led to a number of situations in the last couple years where I was defending behavior that made me nauseous, and I don’t want to do that anymore. …

Unless it’s written in some non-obvious way. I searched for “english” and “language” separately and found nothing.

Oh, and for what it’s worth I totally support the rule. It’s annoying when someone posts a long screed I don’t understand to try to look clever. (You don’t.) So I’m not griping about it.

And I’m done talking about this because this isn’t ATMB.
