   True.   
      
   But no "ban" was tenderted, now was it?   
      
   Mmm hmm.   
      
      
   > E and B: citizens more often criticize THEIR OWN governments than they do   
   other governments. Every google group shows this.  US google groups carry   
   criticism of the US gov't, as well as criticism of many many other nations.    
   UK groups frequently    
   criticize nations within the EU, as do US groups.   
      
   Sadly what IS definitive is the propensity for the residents of 3 petty   
   nations to continually hammer on and blame the US (in lieu of their own   
   nations) for all manner of imagined transgressions or lifestyle and   
   societal differences which they find too terrible to countenance.   
      
   Those nations would be:   
      
   The Unfree Kingdom (Englies mainly)   
      
   Canuckistan   
      
   Asstrailer   
      
   We tend not to get guff from other corners of the "developed world" on a   
     recurring basis, just those 3 countries.   
      
   Can I prove it?   
      
   Oh HELL yes!   
      
   > It's not realistic to hope that people from outside your own country will   
   not criticize it.   
      
   Is it realistic to note how regularly Canucks manage to make us their   
   whipping post?   
      
   Of course it is!   
      
   > The same principle holds for every sphere of activity. Roman Catholics   
   cannot expect to be protected from criticism from other denominations and   
   religions.   
      
   Non sequitur.   
      
   Why did you decide to trade topical venues?   
      
   Isn't a nation by nation examination a broad enough spectrum to investigate?   
      
   > It may ease Exeter and Bumblebee's annoyance if they were to NOT read   
   Canadian and UK forums.   
      
   Yet they are not where this was experienced primarily nor where it would   
   be much of a concern.   
      
   The dominant US political groups is where these servile hypocrites ply   
   their witless critiques and griping.   
      
   We've simply decided to return a measure of the animus home to their own   
   national groups where you (and they) can fully experience the   
   accountability that is always lacking in this medium.   
      
   Please, do tell us again what a great poster MI Wakefield is, eh?   
      
   Fucking A!   
      
   And "wy"?   
      
   "Dechucka"?   
      
   R.KymHorsehead"?   
      
   The list goes on and on...   
      
   > The same applies to Canadian and UK readers: if susceptible to annoyance,   
   they should avoid US groups that carry criticisms of the UK and Canada.   
      
   Which completely MISSES the point!   
      
   We do not spend a boatload of time in THEIR groups ripping THEIR nations   
   for their inherent or perceived flaws and traits.   
      
   Period.   
      
   End of equation.   
      
   > Fair do's, as they say in some English-speaking countries :-)   
      
   Payback's a biotch!   
      
   As some wise man who got sick of being blamed unfairly once mused.
