Should members of sciforums be required to post in English?

[(Q)]

Не знаю как на Западе, а у нас в колониях, где сидят заключённые, есть такая категория, как так называемые "петухи". Это заключённые, которых принудили стать пассивными гомосексуалистами. Чаще всего ими становятся педофилы, насильники, и продавцы наркотиков. Педофилы и насильники - практически всегда. И вот вопрос: мужчины, которые на воле были гетеросексуальными, в колонии пользуются услугами этих "петухов". Они кто в этом случае: бисексуалы, или активные гомосексуалисты?

This is an English forum, please post in the English language so that others aren't forced to translate your posts into English, thus showing you would not be considered a selfish bastard.

FFS! Why antagonise each other?
There is an ignore option.
Q has a point Olga on the translation thing and this does not win you friends, you know this. IF you did translate, everyone would note that.

This appears to be a communication issue.

So what? There are translators you can use but you are far too selfish to consider anyone else, you believe you are the center of the universe and we must all bow down to your highness wishes. Most, if not all of us don't read, write or speak Russian. If you want to speak in Russian, either translate your posts to English or go somewhere where they do. Stop being a selfish bastard.

I don't know English well, Tevat. What I once learned in school has already been forgotten without constant practice. If I started writing to you in English now, you'd hardly understand a thing. Besides, I didn't find any requirement in the rules to write exclusively in English.

In which begs the question, why you would join a forum in which by your own admission you are ill equipped to participate in a meaningful fashion?

No, Abbey Normal is pointing out the obvious fact that you of your own free will have selected an online forum which uses English and asks new members to post in English, which you agreed to do by registering, you silly princess twit.

But she is SPECIAL! She doesn't have to do what the rest of us commoners have to do, because of her specialness.

У меня в телефоне встроенный переводчик. Он переводит для меня на русский с любого языка автоматически. Но с русского на другой язык он этого почему то не делает. Возможно, создатели посчитали, что сейчас у всех современных телефонов есть эта функция, и получатель тоже будет видеть текст уже переведённым.

В интернете нет друзей. Друзья - это те, кто был с тобой в трудные времена. Помогал, и поддерживал. А тот, кому трудно две секунды на автоматический перевод потратить, и кто хочет чтобы я со словарём вручную каждое слово переводила - тот мне не друг, и никогда им не был.

So, your choice is to be selfish. What an ass.

I didn't find any requirement in the rules to write exclusively in English.

There are no exclusive rules for farting in crowded elevators, spitting on floors or eating with your hands in fine restaurants, as well as a myriad of other activities where one usually does not take the opportunity to selfishly take advantage of others kindness and their surroundings wherever and whenever they wish. You seem to have no problem with not only doing that, but spinning grievance that we must hate Russians or are being totalitarian despots out to suppress your free will. Narcissist.

 

[(Q)]

There are no friends on the internet. Friends are those who stood by you through tough times. Helped and supported you. And anyone who can't spare two seconds for an automatic translation and who wants me to manually translate every word with a dictionary is not my friend, and never was.

In other words, you're saying fuck you to all of us if we don't translate your posts. Narcissist.

Ты любишь русских, Мартин?

И всё-таки ты их переводишь... " Я бежала за вами три дня, для того, чтобы сказать вам, как вы мне безразличны!"(Евгений Шварц "Обыкновенное чудо). Хотя, откуда вам знать о Шварце? Вы же не знакомы с русской литературой.

That’s why I have this probable 15 stone, tattooed truck driver on Ignore. But from the profusion of silly threads and exasperated replies, I’m not missing a lot.

My vote was "other".

If they are civil and have good reason why they can't post in English (or Appalachian ;-) then it is no harm to translate for them somtimes if they really can't do it themselveso

God knows ,it would be a handy way for them to pick up a bit of English even if only English drivel.

Agree.

Whether Olga posts in English or Russian is largely moot to me, now that she is on Ignore. She is too dishonest and trolly for me to tolerate engaging with her. I engaged in good faith for a very long time, but she would not.
