The admins have disabled the "This is not in English" reason for downvote as a result of the linked discussion, and it didn't count towards the reputation meter of the user anyway, but many people were offended enough from the general answers it all generated to leave Snapzu.
The /t/Quebec tribe is all but empty now following this thread. It may seem trivial, but we (French Quebecers) have already been told to "speak white" all throughout our history, from the conquest of 1760 up to the general emancipation of the French speaking population during the quiet revolution of 1960-80. This is a very heated debate in Quebec, and it influenced much of the rest of Canada as well. It's no wonder Quebec tried twice to secede from Canada (in 1980 and in 1995).
I myself decided to stick around Snapzu, because I believe in the good faith of its admins, I like the community, and I believe we can't ever have our voices heard if we don't collaborate and work to make things better, instead of quitting as soon as some linguistic friction occurs.
