That is not what I said. And not what the charter says. Learn to read.
It's simple English.

It's just the fact. This discussion is about whether MySQL questions
are appropriate to this newsgroup. They aren't, according to the
Charter. And just because YOU think it's ok to post MySQL questions in
here doesn't mean it is.
Thats' what the discussion is about. You've already proven yourself to
be a troll. That's not necessary to discuss.
