If anyone believes a single story and can draw conclusions about a country, perhaps it is better if you stay home. Maybe we don't need your problems. If you have a drop of American blood and think that way, maybe it is best if you don't associate yourself with us.

I hope that was not meant personally for Skarpi, Ron. He has been here several times to make music with Mudcat friends and I, for one, would never dream of telling him to not come over and would be saddened it he doesn't ever again.

We may never know the truth of this situation, but the perception is that it was wrong and should not have happened. I think you're going overboard in castigating us all. You've made your points. Some of us see it differently.
