a bit, and internet access is less widespread in Moldova.
Cool! I'm from Romania!
Anyways, I'm a libertarian-socialist-american, and I generally take the
view that if person a thinks person b is being "oppressive" by
expressing themselves, the problem in that case is person a, not person
b.
Why not have a wikipedia written in, say, cyrillic, using phonetics, to
describe ami articles? If nothing else, people who are used to cyrillic
letters can learn to speak the language. Intentionally *supressing* the
use of cryllic, latin, or any other character set to write articles in
a wikipedia space is the problem, not whether or not people are
speaking english, but using cherokee (or whatever) letters.
So, some folks got suppressed, and were forced to use one group of
characters, so they are now arguing about forcing the use of another
group of characters? How enlightened of them. *sigh*
