Logically, knowing a language does not mean that you live in the country of which it originates.

True: Quickseller confuses language not only with geography, but also here specifically with legal jurisdiction for tax purposes (!).

For example, if I learn French, I am not forced to be in France.

Though I observe, school French would not qualify you for editorial responsibilities in a French publication. (Whether forum moderation requires such a level of mastery is another question.)

Besides learning, there is also a possibility of movingmaybe ancestrally. Croatia has suffered major strife and dislocations in the past century. Not all people who have grown up with Croatian language as a familial mother tongue have ever even set foot on Croatian soil; and of course, even today, Croats born in Croatia may move elsewhere as adults (just as is true as for most any other country).

I have no doubts that some moderators do live in the country that the language hails from but it is wrong to assume that all moderators, past and present, live in the native country.

True, and true.

Where did you get this info from or are you just making stuff up?

As usual.

Lauda's True Identity Found!!!!!!!!!!

After spending tons of BTC and many blisters on clicking fingers, the results are conclusive that Lauda is actually Ernest Hemingway reincarnated!
See picture below.

Amazing discovery! Please start (yet) a(nother) new thread in Reputation!

Fuck I know Europeans who speak better English than 70% of Americans,

You must admit, thats a terribly low standard.

FWIW, of all my Americans acquaintances, the one with the best English-language skills has lived for years on the Continent. Hmmm.

Also, this whole not paying taxes in the US butthurt thing, holy fuck. Speak fluent English? Where's your bloody UK passport and why aren't you having tea at 5PM?

Bloody renegades. And Quickseller is a hypocrite who still owes his tea taxes to the Crown.

Am I the only one thinking that this topic will not lead to anything?
Two groups (maybe 3-neutral), two different points of view, too much speculation imo, no clear evidences. I suggest locking it until solid proof show up...

Good point. However, OP Quickseller is so determined to keep this thread going that hes spent the past month struggling to keep it aliverepeatedly changing the topic title, and piling on new accusations per the throw it at the wall and see what sticks strategy.

This thread generated 15 pages of heated discussion within its first 24 hours, a few more pages the next daywhereas now, for weeks, the thread has repeatedly died and been resurrected. The past dozen pages or so mostly consist people laughing at Quickseller, interspersed with Quickseller futilely trying to reignite controversy.

Unless it gets mod-locked (possible but doubtful), this thread will probably limp along until everybody just loses interest. Then, Quickseller will eventually create another new thread accusing Lauda of kitten abuse. This cycle has repeated many times.
