Yup! And those moderators are mostly dedicated and make some valuable
contributions to the users.

It seems to me that, for someone with scientific leanings, your comparison
was completely inappropriate for a review, and your subsequent racial
prejudices do nothing to help your argument.

Rich, as an Ameritrash[1] guilty of slave catching and keeping[1]

and cutting the living hearts out of victims[1] you don't really
have a grip on geography. Which makes you white trash (even if
your skin colour is green).

BTW, your "mini review" hyped a crap lens. Which you would

Well, I guess then not having had slaves and not having burned
witches, I'm not American OR Eurotrash?
You euroleftist losers do one of two things; ignore replies or, try
to re-direct them via your newsreader to newsgroups having nothing to
do with the subject so others can't see replies to your statements.

Can you blame someone for being xenophobic when so many countries
around them produce such inferior policies and human beings?

He's representative of an intercontinental class of people ---
too bad one can't junk them all below the north pole's ice sheet.

That's why I junked in South America, too. There _is_ a plural
's' on "American continents" above ...

He cannot have illuminated anything --- he's much too underexposed
for that. Not enlightened enough. The bulb's not dim, it's
completely dark.

It might be said to be a reciprocal feeling.

I have a hard time loving xenophobes. They always make me
want to use a Nuremberg Funnel on them. They are, after all,
the least gifted pupils ...

However, a couple billion against a handful stadions filled with
RichA-crazies is rather one-sided, so I'm not too worried,
unless they grab power.

Of course there is. Unfortunately, too many people reply
regularly to our ... special ... group member.
