YES! This Is A Question For The GLBTQI Community....


Thus.... I ask it here....


OK, I hope everyone can follow this query..... (and I just want to hear your thoughts, and I'll stand back and listen)


Is it permissible per the rules of DU if we (the GLBTQI Community at large) excoriate Bigots via an obscure language so it can't be read/understood by most here on DU?


Or do posts on DU need to be in (American English) to be permissible? (and should they not be in American English, they might be deleted?)


Just wondering?

Just how obscure a language are you considering? How about dogwhistlese?

Were you explicitly thinking of Navajo code talkers?

Personally I think that just writing at a college level is sufficient to make most things incomprehensible to the Right. But if you're trying to hide from DU authorities, it might take something like Navajo.

For discussing right-wingers, Klingon might also be an appropriate language. It doesn't waste any time with useless fripperies like subtlety, compassion, or nuance.

Who Dances With His Clan (Holy Moly!), and Whom Speaks Some Navajo....


(I'm assuming the majority of the words I would like to use, he knows)


Then again, maybe I will just fore-go the Diné lessons.... and take Mr. Hot Stuff to dinner instead

You just never know what seemingly innocuous statement is going to touch someone. This makes me smile!

and you've made me reassess my views on many occasions over the years. I think you could post an excoriation in any language you chose and know that we've got your back in this forum. Just please keep it simple enough so that even I can understand what you're saying and you'll be fine.
