Buster, I supposed that 99% of the people here will be able to read English, just as well as I can read German. I might have been wrong. The example you give won't fly though: English is the leading language worldwide, and you will agree that MANY more foreigners understand english than they do german. So on an english boxing forum they will comment on it because 99% of the posters DON'T understand German. Like I said I thought 99% of the German people DO understand english.
I can tell you this much: if I write in German, you might get hurt while laughing every single post and you will have even more problems to understand what I write
Besides that I am attached to and involved in German boxing much more than to US boxing and therefor I prefered to come here. I might even have a German boxing scoop or two once in a while. Try and find SERIOUS english boxing forums......you hardly find any. Just take a peek at i.e. Eastside Boxing. The forum there is garbage (one of many) and you can't discuss anything in a serious matter. So I felt this was a much more serious forum and I enjoyed reading it. A fellow countryman pointed this forum out to me a while ago as being very serious. But I understand what you are saying and if people think posting in english crosses the line or doesn't cope with forum policies, I will just continue to only read what some good posters have to say on this forum.
But I also feel that you shouldn't be too narrowminded. Especially not with Europe melting together more an more. If you go on a european vacation you will likely have to speak english just about everywhere. So a little practice won't hurt there will it?
