Being polite is the second hardest thing in a foreign language. Telling an extemporaneous joke is the only thing I know of that's harder.
I CAN joke in Japanese and I can be polite there and in Korean, but French is still beyond me. I can read the technical version, but not fiction. From the rest of his posts, I expect that Nulliste was doing well with his level of English. Politeness is still beyond his ability level. The Archive attracts members from around the world, speaking a variety of languages. We need to be aware of their difficulties and welcome them all to the group. Forgive them their linguistic slips. How many of the native English-speakers here could function well in another language?
