RK pondered: Thar's insane. By that argument, we should write the entire English Wikipedia in Chinese! Also, I am disturbed ... I take great offense at what you write here.... I, and most of us here, are AGAINST English Wikipeida being made unreadable by introducing Chinese .... characters that most English speakers would find confusing.... I am sorry to see that Chris Mahan, Stevertigo, and Susan Mason are working so hard... am sorry to see that some people lie about me beliefs, think it is acceptable to make accusations of racism... I am being treated...
Well, I for one have never stooped to calling you "anti-Sinotic" Robert. Any prejudices you have against cultures other-than-your-own speak for themselves... In your long winded comment... you essentially base your argument under 1 central assumption and 3 accusations of "anti-Robertism", (with the added implication of making the list longer at your discretion.) The accusations are just smokescreen, so Im not going go into them... I can if you like...
Your central assumption - that using non-English characters on the en:wp violates "protocol"... ("master Luke!") which is nonsense : we use umlauts, and accented spanish characters. And those nordic circle things... yadda... You seem to think that 1. using a Chinese sig in the Talk pages interferes with people understanding the Encyclopedia... and 2 that most other people cant see them - with UNICODE to read them... It wouldnt make sense for anyone to bother, if there wasnt such a thing as UNICODE gaining in prominence for its utility... Besides.. I compromised in accordance with Chris idea - bilingual sig... so... rant all you want...- DimSum:sv
Ps. Victoria - I dont know whats going on... Im sending these plain text only... ah, its the Unicode... needs html... ok...
