The Mods Must Be Crazy

Dunno how many of you have noticed the Jenefer Lowe thread about Cornish being a living language.  It has produced some richly ironic modding.  Olching posted a comment in Cornish which was modded.  I then posted a comment that was 90% English but contained the following:
So, would I be modded if I posted a comment saying, 'Montana of vy. Pyu os ta?' I mean, I could understand that, if I posted 'Kernow kensa' or 'Onen hag oll', they might think I was trying to start something, but I would never do that.
Now, the Cornish in this translates to 'I'm Montana. Who are you?' 'Cornwall first' and 'One and all' Apparently any Cornish at all in a thread about Cornish being a living language is just not on.
