It has nothing whatever to do with what you're trying to say, or your poltical or sexual orientation, or even that you're not "one of us". Indeed, on my part I haven't bothered to find out people's real names or broadcast mine, so a large minority are no more than old-fashioned nicknames on LWN. You are every bit a part of the LWN community, as much as nix or I or drag or quotemstr or bodan.
We have no desire to exclude you. We amuse ourselves at your expense, solely on the basis of the way you express yourself in English. It really is that hard to comprehend what you write (and it can't merely be a non-native-speaker issue because there are very many second-language English posters here and most of them get by just fine).
It's rude of us. And "it's funny because it's true". Keep trying!

The well with who i am or anybody else, what is important are ideas, facts and the TRUTH... TRUTH ABOVE ALL...
Well for the second part i'm sorry i've not the effluence of Shakespeare in the English language... but i could bet a million that i'm much better at English, and people understand me reasonably well *enough*, than you are at my native language "xoddam"...
Another complain is this engine at LWN... there should be a Re-editing facility... many "typos" got by and then is too late... and i've seen many ppl present apologies afterwards...
why haven't nobody complained strongly yet beats me!... really!?... or is it there only for subscribers !!?

Provavelmente bem verdade :-)
but
> ... and people understand me reasonably well *enough* ...
may not be quite as true.
One difference is that I don't attempt to make myself understood in Portuguese (or any other language I'm not confident in). This may not be the only difference.

Its funny your future !??... its not the concern that appear on this thread!
what "us" are you talking about ?
sure what i can detect is irony, and i presume you are an OSS developer..
well i'm not... and i don't intent to be rude, but i believe you need *thousands* like me, to keep that "us" well and alive... to keep trying that you got a chance to exercise your art... don't you think so ?
