Seriously speaking

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

Having taken a look at this, I have to seriously warn my fellow native Russian speakers against converting this community into a travelling circus. This is not the place where everybody can exercise his/her humour skills, however great they can be (unfortunately, in most cases they aren't, anyway.) This is not even the place for those native speakers who cannot write and/or speak their native language properly and try to improve their skills: there is a special natural reserve for them, called pishu_pravilno.This is, though, the place for helping non-native speakers to learn Russian language. Or, to be more exact, this is the community for the non-native speakers who learn Russian, where native speakers can help them by answering their question, or by posting links to language-related resources, or by posting their own explanations concerning the Russian language topics not really covered by textbooks etc. I would dearly love to ask everybody to avoid too much of a travelling circus here. Dixi.

As a learner of Russian, I thought the question was valid. The *response*, though... oy. It was still educational. Thanks everyone for providing such a fantastic community.

I tend to say yes... but there's only one small thing. If only the original poster wasn't a native speaker! One has to be, er, very naive, not to expecting a major flood after a question like that.
This wasn't entirely the original poster's fault, that's right. Most of my sarcasm goes to those who are only too happy to Drop All Them Bombz They Got.
