"...American contributors to Mudcat moan that British contributors are argumentative and disrespectful to each other".

Ah, but Musket, don't you see the difference? Even on this thread- had it been started by a "British contributor", chances are quite good that by this time in the conversation one or more or three of you would already have jumped on the OP. Instead it truly does not occur to us "American contributors" to attack each other.

Tell me I'm wrong.
