There have been a few of us who have made the point of saying that Zach’s comments are outright offensive. Yet he persists.
A few of us have also pointed out that we can distinguish between the legitimate concerns and grievances that people have with Welsh language policy and the Welsh language itself. Yet he persists.
I don’t know what his problem is, but he’s clearly made his point that he hates the Welsh language for whatever reason. Maybe the Welsh-speaking kids at school didn’t let him join in with the games? Maybe some Welsh-speaking girl or boy jilted him? Maybe he’s jealous that he can’t speak the language? Maybe he’s just a bigot? Or maybe he’s just an attention seeker who gets a rise out of winding people up with his tired, pathetic little jibes. Who knows and who cares!
What I do know, is that this forum is become a lot less pleasant place to converse with people and I’m less inclined to keep contributing.
You are lucky that you never read the old forum matey. We had arguments that lasted for months and feuds that went on for years. Me (aka B. Leeding Obvious, Jantard and many other pseudonyms), Cambo (aka Random Comment), Jantra, A.Briton (aka Jantra!), George, Karl, Hypercelt, DJ Leekie, Wizard, and maybe, latterly, Ash had rows that would have blistered your eyeballs. I think I started arguing/contributing in around 2004.
This new forum is as mild as milk in comparison, as we've all aged and mellowed.
(apologies to any regular arguers from the pub.25 forum that I've left off my list of shame)
