My native tongue:

K ya all. Ima get'n to show'n ya mine native talk'n. Tel'n ya how et be. Itn far mor confusin. Than showin. Fixin to do et is far eas. Get't ya all? Where I be grownin. Slaves R comon folk. Ya all won fin a transductor. Et be'n rare talk'n. Even my own fellow American don get'n. Ah peep who'n good in English wood'n get'n. Mor'n listen'n to it, be rotten. We be Say'n it fast, yeaya it be aweful confusin. With our tongue comes our ways. We be a unique culture. See'n things more lik'n a slave. We neb'n were free. We don be liken liars now, or bullin. We don like be'n call'n simple folk. We be survivin where other don. Try'n ask'n how to find'n the piggy wiggly.

More English Translation:

Ok all you people. I'm going to try to show you my native language. Trying to explain it is more confusing, than in showing it.Speaking it is far easier. Do you understand? Where I grew up. Slaves are common people. You won't find my dialect in a translator. It isn't a commonly spoken dialect. Even other Americans do not understand. People who are not native to English wouldn't understand. Listening to my language is hard. We speak it fast. Yes it is really confusing. We are a unique culture. Seeing things more like a slave. We have never been free. We don't like liars, or being bullied. We don't like being called simple people. We survive where you others don't. Try asking for directions to the store.

That is a simple version of my culture. Where we grew from slavery. Many years I had to learn again my own native language of English, but they never could fully remove my native dialect. Now that I have come back home to my land of childhood. It has become strong in me again. A place where schools, and graveyards are one and the same in place. A place where Community parks are built into grave yards. We celebrate our heritage, and we continue to grow right along side our ancestors. If you think you know the real southern USA. You have not been here. You have not spent years with the real people of my part of the country. Our architecture is sure beauty to a spirit, and even more so to the soul. Nature grows faster than us people.

Our understanding of speech is far different that most. You see someone speaking, and look for verbs, and pronouns. We don't. We are as likely to have an alligator roast as we are to have a pig roast. We are more at one with our local swamp lands, and behind the barn door. This swamp girl is a published author in native English, but it means different to me. Than you who read it. I have been more than patient with attempting to meld into more cultures. Even embracing some of the culture, but when I run into some people. It does fall apart.

A deaf person has a better chance of communicating with me, than some types of hearing. As they understand things differently as well. Now in my eyes and experience. A moderator needs to respect, and understand not all people who they come across will be like them. It isn't about a vote or an appearance that makes a place really successful. It is about having an understanding for difference.

To me seeing Shazir say he speaks to me, when I know we haven't spoken in weeks really, let alone over the issues, is a lie. I know to him it isn't meant in this manner. Thus I wouldn't call him a liar, but when you get someone like Sigfried who speaks another language, and we blend between us in the middle. There will be misunderstandings! I accept this, but he can not. To him it is either black or white. It can only be one way or another. It is for this reason we will always clash.

In my opinion such belief shouldn't be a moderator. They can not accept for differences in seeing things, doing things, or even saying things. I do believe he knows the rules well! Only it is the people he is lost on. Since I know the game administrator hurts for activity and moderators here. I know this will never be fixed, and decide this game is not ready for different cultures. It is not ready to accept some people talking in public isn't an insult. It is a community.

For this reason I am leaving AE. In KH the moderators give for my real meaning, not assume how it is said is meant to be as it says to them. They have understanding there. I respect this, as I have witnessed it. Here it just isn't so. I know my culture is part of my every biological fiber. It's can't be changed. They have tried a lot over the years. I write this only for Shazir and SIgfried more than any one. Hoping this does not flow into other games, as it has been. Where the moderators in KH have done very well working with the different cultures, views, and beliefs. I play in RD too, and few have noticed. Why? Cause I am quiet trying to learn the people. Not trying to force my way. As it is not my native tongue, or close to it. Have fun ya all, but this is no place for my people yet.

We even have a wiki to try and explain our dialect, but it isn't fully accurate either.
