Being a senior person I think that such rash comments should be avoided.
Amachu is not a fanatic. He just loves to communicate in his mother tongue
more than others. Linguistic fanatics are people who promote language for
the sake of language and without any scientific understanding of the
historical perspective of language.
The mother tongue is the first language that one comes in contact the day
one is born and scientists have also shown that one learns best in the
mother tongue and not in an alien language, example English.
It is ideal to ensure that all knowledge is available in ones mother tongue
to ensure that strong local economies are built. This also ensures that
monopolies are not possible which is very important for healthy
competition. If people are comfortable posting in the mother tongue then
let them. If one want to mark such mail as spam then go ahead. That is a
freedom that one has.
