Default Using a foreign language prohibited in RCU?

This was news to me... just received a email notifying that a post of mine was deleted because I used a foreign language:

While I usually write in English, is some occasions I use other language to help or even talk in other cultures terms to comunicate in more precise terms ... for example, a guy from Venezuela posted a pic of his Byron F-16 without English knowledge (kudos to him) using a terrible electronic translator and I used Spanish to warm him from a potential problem he had in his linkages. In other recent occation I used Portuguese to congratulate some jet guys in Portugal about their next event.

I was really surprised with this attitude from a RCU moderator, and it triggered a red light on my panel... if a comercial or political attitude is taking out my freedom away to talk and help others to enjoy our hobby, a corrective measure must be taken, from any of the parts envolved.


So now I am kind of waiting a official position on RCU on this subject, to see if this a new 2008 house rule or if it was just a moderator issue...



Sorry for my rant to all my friends here, Enrique.
