    Oh really?? I'm half Russian and Russian isn't my native language and i don't live in Russia and guess what? I don't really care you consider me foreigner or what, because i love Russia and Russian language, and am not here to see how you're gonna criticize me and my opinions(whether you call it sophisticated opinion or worse)
    I think i forgot your contribution for this site!! Otherwise i can't find any way to see "YOU" respect Russian language, and me and your so called "Foreigners" respect Russian language as a pair of old boots!!
    Where have you been since 2009? Cause you just started your activity by complaining!! As it is written under your name, you're a "Новичок". You as a native Russian speaker could/can "contribute".
    FYI you better know foreigners are here for "learning" Russian, but you??! Not only you don't contribute but generalize foreigners like this (in your only one and very first thread): "if you are a foreigner with as much respect for my language as for a pair of old boots" . And oh if you're going to deny it i better say your whole sentence means this: Native Russian speakers respect Russian language, Foreigners respect it as they respect pair of old boots.

    Oh yeah? Maybe you can make your own forum? Bring it up! No one sent you an invitation to register here if it's so bad.

    Good to you if you love Russia and Russian language. I hope you could love me as well, on a spiritual level, but I am happy with what I got. As for accusing me of complaining and being a 'noob' (or 'novice' if you prefer) I lost my login and password and had to re-register, because I had not been to this forum for quite some time. I used to answer some people's question, but back then there were not so many questions about substandard/criminal language, and what I saw today in the topic list gave me a stir. I am not the type of person who will just stick his tongue in his (three letter word) to make someone feel comfortable. This is not the way things are done. You will never get anywhere if you are shy to speak your mind. I did what I had to, I created this topic to drive attention to this situation, but the content of this thread belongs to the community, not me, you or moderator. Also, I am not in a position to enforce my opinion, but I am in a position to defend it.
