Now dont get me wrong here, i am not trying to slag off folks that English is not their first language in game or on the forums. I am simply asking for some advise on how to talk to folks in a manner that is not demeaning to them or their language.
Let me give a scenario which i experienced :

Flying along the trade lanes in O3 i come to the Freeport and find a lad their trying to tax us poor unsuspecting, lawabiding, innocent traders in an Order Gunboat with a Corsair ID on him.
"Hmmm,( thinks i) now what would you be doing trying to tax here" as the command " STOP, 2Mill NOW" is broadcast on the airwaves.
Speaking in local chat i try to inform him that taxing right outside a freeport is probably not the best thing to do as it is a NFZ and im quite sure the Zoners here would be a bit miffed at his actions ( all in RP, of course)
" YOU WANT DIE? " was next broadcast, so i switch to private chat to explain thr error of his ways and get the reply " I no speak English"

Now, i am not going to demean the fellow here because it was obvious he didn't know anything about the RP around freeport NFZ and/or pirating simply because he hasn't read the forums in any depth or may just be an inexperienced RP'er.
So, my question to you good folks is this, what would you guys say is the best way to deal with this remembering that the guys first language is not English so reading the forums would be hard for him?
