I'm sure old PAXboy would'nt say that so easily if it was English being banned. Imagine if I said, for the good of the world or so and so, English has to go.
You have missed the point: PPRuNe is run by a man who has chosen not to have languages other than his own.
If he spoke Spanish and chose not to have Afrikaans or English, the result would be the same. You must consider that this entire system exists due to goodwill. If the site was run for purely commercial grounds - then all languages could be accomodated. However, the readers and posters of PPRuNe have made it clear that they would not pay the £30 or so per annum that would then be required.
The point of discussion is not that Afrikaans is being removed because it is Afrikaans but that languages other than English - and that are not heavily related to aviation - will be closed.
If this site was run by an Afrikaans person [on goodwill not commercial grounds] and they decided not to have English - then I would certainly accept that.
