English is not my first language, i was incredibly happy to learn it in my childhood, thanks to all the great old games (SeaLegends, SpaceQuest, Daggerfall, Fallout). Internet and technical literature motivated me to improve later. Though, i still very lacking.

Please don't post in the flamewar style to HN. We ban that sort of account. Fortunately you don't appear to have a history of that, but please don't go there here.

Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN and please not use HN for ideological or political battle? Those things destroy the type of site we're trying for here, so we ban accounts that do them. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Edit: actually your account has been doing these things so overwhelmingly that I've banned it for now. I hate to ban an account that posted a good comment like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26421426, but when the rate is that low we have little choice. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email [email protected] and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

I mean hell, English is Lingua Franca. How many people chatting about this on HN didn't actually have English as the first language? I certainly am not.

I visited Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Denmark and Norway in one go, and never felt that language was a barrier, because everyone can communicate via English.
