I think Servien is frustrated by the fact that nds.wikipedia is
effectively taken over by German nationalists who have succeeded
in making people write a language spoken in parts of four countries,
using grammatic rules and conventions from only one. the fact that
the majority of the people writing in nds: lives in Germany was
abused to vote to make it a "democratic" decision.
