You have if you want to be taken seriously.  That you call the people names 
who rightfully demand that proof from you, does not change the fact that 
unproven/unprovable statements do not carry much weight in a discussion.  
Claiming something does not make it so.  Claiming it twice unproven shows 
lack of arguments (put politely); not strength of character as you appear to 
be thinking.

To which language are you referring?

AFAIK there is none; but there does not have to be one.  Usenet began in the 
United States of America, therefore many users who are native English 
speakers continue to use the original newsgroups, later reorganized into the 
Big 8, and alt.ALL.  That does not mean that those newsgroups are English or 
English-speaking per se.

There are, however, us.ALL and uk.ALL, for example, for regional topics, as 
I already pointed out.

But if you still disagree, what do you think the word “global” in the 
comp.lang.php charter is referring to?

Or maybe you should try anger management instead.
