Why take the time to write in middle English if you're going to include a translation? You can't assume your choices?

Because the prescriptivists bitched at me to no end when I was just using þ and ð and didn't invlude "traditional spelling."Damn. I thought you were going to say something cool like
"because i enjoy using an uncommon language but still want to participate in discussions eith you all"
not
"because someone else felt a certain way"

You should consider scripting it so you don't have to do it yourself each time.
You could comment, then run pettiness.sh and hit send or something.
Ok so you can't assume your choices, you had to go a step further as a reaction to people's reaction just to be a contrarian instead of just keeping doing what you were doing.
