>     4. You just cannot read alphabets you don't know. "Доктор Бро" is
>        just not readable for you, if you don't know Russian.
>     5. If you come to my blog and want to comment, you have to speak my
>        language. It is obvious. The commenter is always a guest.
>     6. If you don't respect my rules, you don't want a dialogue with
>        me. "Talk to the hand!" :-)
>     7. I hate trolls. Trolls hate grammar. I feed trolls with grammar.
>        So it's not only about linguistically strangers. My plugin helps
>        to filter "friends" of CAPS LOCK and 1337 too.
>     8. The antispam is a side effect only.
>     9. Grown people write their name always correctly, so you still get
>        great comments from this group.

> I hope you understand, what I mean.

> Look at that meaningful discussion
> http://rifmamira.com/2010/09/konceptualnyj-albom/#comments It works in

> This tool is not for everybody. I just share that (new?) way of think

>> I don't see the value doing so. If my commenter's are coming from all over

>> Furthermore, if the blog runs at more than one language can be switched

>> Please let me know, where the value is. Did I miss something ?
>> Because spam blocking will be done at a much more better way than this.
