No... fun on this board is for everyone, and me personally, if I have to go out of my way to copy and paste something into another browser to read something, it's not worth my time.

If some of the people had gone to freetranslation.com they would not have liked what they were reading at all!!!

We are indeed a diverse board, international in scope, here at STORM2K, but we are based in an English speaking environment. Not everyone has the time to go to another site to translate something that may have been written in another language and possibly directed at them. Just like people who are challenged in some way that are left out of ball games, etc. by unthinking "friends" those that do not know the language being spoken or directed towards them may feel excluded or "left out" since this is a dominantly English speaking site. Therefore the reason for the posting.

Personally, Colin I take offense to your post. It, to me implies that I and many others do not have any "sense"(translated "smarts"). I did not know freetranslation.com even existed till I read your post. And the fact that the different language was interspersed with my dominant laguage amoung the weather posts makes it difficult to "not read it". JMHO

ok, everyone calm down this is NOT something for anyone to be getting all bent out of shape about. It is MY fault (and lack of proper judgement) that started this issue, and therefore i take responsibility for all of it.

while my use of spanish here on the boards was just for fun, (and not intended to direct Inappropriate comments at anyone or any specific group) it does confuse many of the members, and can cause some problems. this is an english Language only board, and therefore that is what we should stick to.

I Pledge to keep things that way from now on, so should others.
