On that logic, I'm surprised that ANYONE in Russia learns English, aren't you? They ought to run crying from most English speaking forums. And as citizens of the only "super power" I should think Americans have a bit thicker skin than that, and the membership here seems to prove it.
It won't do them any harm to hear these types of comments on rare ocassions, and I don't think they need mollycoddling any more than Russians do.
And I wasn't asked BECAUSE of these "tirades", rather DESPITE of them. If you read the posts above, you can see that I commented on them. I am well aware of the potential conflict.
You seem to know English and Russian really well, so why don't you volunteer then, if you are concerned about my performance?
I am serious: I'd quite happily step down, if you agree to take my place, and Lampada agrees. I didn't go out of the way to get the role, it was more a case of stepping up since nobody else did. What do you say?
