I applaud your inventiveness - it takes some effort to mask a piece of political news as an entry about linguists. It was almost successful. Now, I hope the maintainers of both communities will delete this crap as soon as possible.

I don't agree remi_jakovlevic April 17 2008, 23:43:27 UTC

linguaphiles is not about "linguists" (as you put it) at all! Look:
"A community for people who love language to discuss all aspects of languages and linguistics" (my underlining)
This posting is fine!
Maybe you are in quarrel with this user? Maybe I answer that way because, on the contrary, I like very much his postings? Anyway, this is really no crap!

I really try to reserve my flaming skills for the Russian portion of LJ, so I'm not going to argue with you. I have but one thing to say: you can keep convincing yourself that his\your crap is relevant, but we both know that the point of this entry is to draw the attention of non-Russian users to this (somewhat dated) scandal.

" the point of this entry is to draw the attention of non-Russian users to this (somewhat dated) scandal."

And he is right in doing so. Many linguists work on those matters. i'm one of them.

Picking at typos really gives you away.
