And of course, since people disagree with me, I should change my opinion? Isn't that what a difference of opinion is? Disagreement?
Until somebody convinces me of what they're trying to say, I will not change my opinion.
Boris came very close to convincing me. He made a real, logical argument, responding individually to each of my points, which you, Wouter, and Servien have yet to do.
Surely, as native speakers, since you know so much more about your language than do Boris and I, you should really be very well equipped to do as Boris did, and since you are obviously not stupid, those two factors should combine to make your argument very convincing.
Yet, until now, most of this has been you telling me why my opinion should be less valued, and Wouter repeating over and over the initial reasons given for a separate nds-nl wiki, without giving full responses and rebuttals to the points I made.
Obviously, neither you nor anybody else is obliged to respond in such a manner, but it certainly goes towards reaching an agreement much more than what you have done so far.

But I get the idea that you're saying that you think that this discussion should be in Dutch and Low Saxon, at least in the second sentence.
I honestly have to disagree with this. It should either be in any language, as policy says, or in Low Saxon exclusively. There's no reason why it should be in Dutch *and* Low Saxon.
Obviously, Walter's message was not directed at me, but I can understand it better than Kasper's.
You really really really really do not get it do you??????? No one has argued for your POV. You are the only one arguing it! We have had a couple of native speakers argue against you. A couples of others have argued against you and you still go on. Please read what everybody has said. Forgot what stupid braindead me said. Look at the arguments of others.
