Mark, Keith,
Just so I understand what you are saying, you condemn me for responding to criticism about something that I care about. I should see beyond the words and argue "for the better good". I should not defend the things I care about or call folks names.
Yes, now I understand. The Brits have a good handle on how to respond to criticizem. As Mark says....
"Should anyone post about the British in ways as you suggested above, I suspect strongly, that we would treat such accusations/observations, simply as nonsence spoken by the foolish or ill-informed and dismiss the out of hand".
OK, I see you Brits are above that sort of thing.......................

A few days ago Mr Romney mentioned that he has some concerns about security for the London Olympics.
Keith immediatly started a thread titled.........
"WHAT A MUPPET"
Keith not only called Mr Romney a name, but went on to say that anyone who could say such a thing (crtitcize the Brits) might just start WWIII.
Mark then chimed in saying that in America "everyone has the oppertunity to become President" and that he thinks thats a poor idea.
Keith then added.......
"I suppose we can tolerate INSULTS from people we know, but from strangers makes it personal"
