I think all your comments were interesting Erik, and I thank you for 
those. I would have been pleased to answer if I had not seen this last 
comment meant to be funny.

How to explain... I tried to fairly talk about an issue which I have 
generally observed in the past year and which *I* think is a bit 
problematic. It is good Jimbo talk about all the languages and projects 
and he does it well. But he was never an editor on a non-english 
project. He has his own experience of what wikipedia is, but his 
experience will only ever stay his experience and will never be another 
person experience. I tried to talk about the way I perceived the year, 
without "holding a nationality". I tried for the whole year to help 
everyone, regardless of their nationality and regardless of their 
language (though... when I can only see square marks on my screen, it 
honestly make it difficult to communicate). The comments I made, even 
though you may entirely disagree with it, is my experience regardless of 
my nationality.

Still, that is all it comes to. Jokes about the fact an american 
broadcast would never broadcast in french. Comparisons with french 
media. I think immediately focusing on the nationality of the person in 
a discussion is not the best.

Good night.
