And I am directly replying to you saying there is context and I specifically said not always
It is always negative in the case of the user's context with the information we have. You implied an entirely different situation, meaning it's an entirely different question.
It's not an entirely different question. This is how conversations work on message boards. You say something in response to the post, and people add to the conversation. In this particular situation with the OP it could be racism, it could be dissuading people from talking about unions, quite simply all you're doing is guessing, because you don't have the entire story. I added that there could be more, not flat out denying what you said, saying there is context that could be the reason for situations such as this.
The context in the OP outright states anger at any use of spanish, period. This has nothing to do with "politeness," and is always some form of racism or worker control. If OP had stated that this was only the case when said charge was involved in the conversations and felt left out, then this is a different context from the one OP provided.
You came in here trying to invent a situation that is, at its fundamentals, unique from what OP described.
Yes as i said above this is how message boards work, you say something and people add to it, hence the not always i didn't "invent" a situation, I was talking about other situations, there is more than just this example that happens you know. Conversations are supposed to evolve
You didn't add, though. By just saying "it depends on the context" without providing the alternative situation you were talking about, it implies that the OP's situation may be fine with different context. Now you're acting demeaning and pretending I must not understand how message boards work.
Here's an example of what you could have done:
This makes it clear that you're talking about a different context, and prevents this entire back and forth.
Was it really that unclear that I was talking other possible situations (based on the actual question that op posted) about not always and context seems to me to be fairly self explanatory.
Yes, it was unclear.
I'm sorry it wasn't clear enough lol
You're forgiven. Try to add to the conversation from the beginning next time, otherwise it looks like you're disagreeing that this is an instance of racism and exerting power over workers
I would also like to point that I agreed with you here, being that this particular point was about racism and abusing workers. Here

Yes, after the fact. Your use of "context" without justification implies that OP's specific situation, in an alternate context, would be fine, not that an alternate situation may be different.
E: you know what this stupid bickering is, well, stupid I wish you well, and I will stop responding to this thread.
Good move. Yeah this back and forth is pretty silly, like itβs not that serious lol. We got what you meant.
