Hi gorangutan, I thought I should let you know that it was me that deleted your 'šiptarska' comment earlier today. Your comment before was flagged as rude by another user, but I didn't know what it meant since I don't speak the language.
However, I googled it online and found out that it is an offensive term. Perhaps it was unintentional on your side, but I'm gonna think otherwise, that's why I deleted your comment.
Hi. If it's offensive then why ethnic Albanians call themselves "Shiptare"? You presumed it was offensive and chose to interpret it that way without asking me first. There is a name for that as well but I'm not gonna say it here, I'll choose autocensorship. That's the road we are heading for it would seem. You do what you have to, do I don't care.
Hi, I took the initiative to speak about the meaning of that term with Croatian friend, and he himself confirmed that it is an offensive term.
Please think before you post. I'll let you off the hook this time. Just remember that we take matters like this seriously.

Don't try and play with me mate. I'll let you off with a warning, but the next time I see you pulling off something like that again, you will be banned.
Croatian? But I'm a Croat also. Does your croatian friend speak albanian? Why didn't you ask an Albanian friend? Or you could have taken the initiative and read about it. For example, Barcelona fans call themselves "los cules", "a%%hles" in english. Now, If I were to call them a%&holes it would have been offensive. But if I call them what they call themselves (!) then why is that offensive?? Anyway, it's good to know you base your decisions on such serious matters on impartial techniques as "talking to a friend". Cheers, mate.
