Very Good Poem Cassoult. You really deserve a rep for that.
Sorry if I am being too much bitchy. But I think that this needs to be posted here.
Today when I went to message a friend of mine at BA, I saw the message of a rabid fanboy making comments about Pikeish's translation and saying "Thank you for zee translation. Anyhow, we are saved. We don't have to bear with any low quality English. Members at DB don't know grammar or even the basics of a proper sentence construction. It is nice that we got good translations from other guy. No body in any forum has made as good translations as that one." (lol)
They even made fun of how we could not make coherent posts with proper grammar in English. And our translations are the most sucking ones.
So, I seriously think that we should lock up the novel thread or make it open only for real DB fans
Didn't want to post here, but I have had enough. Trollers. masos, listen.
Cass, you are a genius, period. You deserve all the rep in the world, and I'll rep and re-rep you again and again and again.

Ahem. Excuse my fangirlings.
Rhea, this is the perfect proof of how pathetic (and racist) those guys are. They are jealous, and I bet they know it. 26 thousand members and NO TRANSLATORS of any kind? I cannot stress this enough, boys. Stop playing victim and effing take some actions. Can't have a proper translation, go study the language and understand it yourself, at least. Those boys know nothing but just effing sit there and bitch about our 'grammar' and our 'translation'...FIY, don't speak the language, don't criticize, boys.
BA fanboys, forums are meant to be fun. They are where fans and such belong; not an effing English school that judge people's English all the time. Debbie is an English prof and I don't see her running around criticizing people's English skills. Language isn't supposed to be a barrier when you care about a subject. You're supposed to help one another, not criticize them. Admit it, fanboys. You're jealous and you know it. Oh, FYI, I see spelling mistakes in that comment, just so you know.
Lol so basically just by reading Pikeish's hard works and put up some sort of summary makes it the best and most accurate translation?
*evil sense is tingling*
Such geniusness, don't you think?

(evil polar is evil e.e)
