Somebody pls tell me what is the actual problem here???

Why this big stink about Finnish members posting in their native language?
Nobody in the whole world can understand what they say anyways, thus obviously no need for a moderator! Arabs will probably not bother to learn this inacessible language, so PpRuNe may nevcr see lawsuits because of this minor "problem".
Whenever I saw posts in Finnish, I took for granted that the topic was limited and only interesting for residents of Finland. The Finnish may not have a domestic webforum, so they have to resort to PpRuNe. Why not accommodate them, then?
As beforementioned, if/when I have tidbits regarding local happenings in Norway, I may as well post in Norwegian because the info is beyond reach of foreigners: To work in a non-english-language country, wannabe's must master the local lingo.
This said, of course I'd be very happy if the Finnish posted in English so that we could be updated on the action there. If they don't, I don't miss out on much, eh?
The Nordic scene is very limited, we are small countries with few inhabitants.
