I am constantly perplexed by how hard it is to be fair.

If a post is polite and respectful, great. If it trashes someone or a whole culture, etc., then not great.

Much as I do not like anonymous postings, as you cannot tell when you are dealing with someone who has in past been one of those anonymous folks guilty of flaming, the fact remains that, if the thinking is sound, the thinking is sound and it shouldn't matter what the source.

Prejudice is prejudice. If you judge an individual by the country they come from or a post by the name it is under, how is it any better than judging someone first by the color of their skin, and not on their individual merits?
