Dear MSuzuqi San,
Such topics are more relevant to discuss in the "troll lounge" forum. It is
for general free-style conversations. This forum (trisquel-users) is
dedicated to topics related to Trisquel and its usage.
You are right in that there are sometimes "borderline" off-topic posts here,
but they are not downvoted because it is somehow remotely relevant to the
current discussion. By the way, I didn't downvote your post. Someone else
downvoted it (I don't know who). And you are also right in that, there are
sometimes really off-topic posts that are not downvoted. Also there are
sometimes semi-offtopic posts which are downvoted. It is the drawback of
voting system. Voting depends on whims of users, which change according to
current mood of a user. So it is not very reliable.
I am not entitled to speak for Mr. mason but think with "language barrier" he
means miscommunication possibility due to errors in the language used. E.g.
two English would understand each other easily, but a Turk and a Japanese,
communicating over English language, may misunderstand each other because of
the "language barrier" (a barrier to error-free communication). So Mr. mason
says that he *might* have misunderstood what you really want to say.
With "misogynistic" I think Mr. mason means putting women as second class
citizens. There are certain differences in western and eastern cultures. One
culture sees women as independent and "equal" citizens (that automatically
includes equality in being subjected to harshness of life) and other sees
them as flowers to be protected and nourished. You see, this has nothing to
do with Trisquel operating system and its usage.
So maybe if you can start a thread in the troll-lounge, then there may be
participants to your discussion. But trisquel-users forum is not appropriate
place for these kind of (unrelated to Trisquel) discussions.
Best wishes
