No comment. Bad things would flow my mouth otherwise...

OK. I couldn't contain myself. My unsolicited opinion: No one expects you to be fluent in Russian, decent with the language, or even to have a knowledge of the alphabet. Heck, you can come here and ask where Russia is located or what kind of alcohol they drink there. All of this is relevent to these boards and to the community's participation. If you want to post personal photos, talk about your love-life, or just generally post говно then you should find a more appropriate site to do it on. As far as people like Mage are concerned -- whether they're in the right or not -- you are just a spammer (except you are human, so they can take their frustration out on you since your not a bot). Quite frankly, I agree with him. You want a truce? Fine. Keep it Russian-related and ignore the small minority of hecklers and rogues here, and you'll be fine. Want to be mocked and smacktalked? Keep posting the kind of stuff you have been.
