I just had a weird troll. Someone posted a comment in Russian. When I pointed out that it is very rude to post in a language that nobody else on the thread understands, I got more Russian. So I deleted and banned the poster as a troll. I wonder whether I ought to have answered in Italian, or, even better, in Milanese.

Because an educated Russian is more apt to know Latin, or know someone who knows some, than to know Italian, let alone Milanese.

In the event that he truly did not know English, you would have then found a way to communicate. In the more likely event that he is the sort of person who refuses to use any language other than his won, he is unlikely to have learned a langauge that he wasn't forced to.
