At this moment I do not wish to continue talking on a forum where there is so much hate and bad-mouthing.
This forum is about South Africa and Afrikaans is a huge part of South Africa. The Webmaster has on so many ocations said that it is welcomed, yet there are certain people who which to treat me and my language like it's dirt and worth nothing.
De tolerante Nederland - tja

PS: don't reply to this post - I will not read nor will I go on this forum in the near future - my life is tough and crazy enough as it is! By the way, read the articles and you will see Afrikaans is old Dutch made easy.
