 How do you conclude, they have removed themselves. I am sure you are welcome
 to participate in their conversations. To receive a friendly welcome you
 will have to adapt to their languange and script.

 You will be just as welcome, as the the occasional sysop from those regions,
 are in this echo, where it is considered polite to speak at least a derivative
