I said what seemed right from my point of view. Now I never thought that local members might be disrespected for posting in English. I agree that local board members should post in local language, because it will be easier for all members to understand the post there.
Now even if someone feels comfortable posting in English on a local board, your statement implies that he should be forced to post in the local language in the local language! However, since I don't post on my local boards, so don't worry too much about this. But still just giving my opinion.
No problem with that, I just think that I'm right because I have travelled in many countries and from my experience, I can say that people don't like when I start speak in English language, they often ignore and say that they don't speak English but when I try to say some words and form a sentence in their local language, then they open up more. Oh, I have never had such a problem in capitals and cities like Paris, Rome, Oslo, etc.
That's just my personal experience and prediction, you can consider it or ignore it, no problem, I appreciate what you say too, didn't want to make anyone upset.
