Just thinking about what GUEST said - that may demonstrate the worst of those threads. People see others as one of a big group, whether it's Americans, Brits, Mudcatters, GUESTS or whatever. They forget their talking to individuals instead of some representative a group they're currently enjoying feeling better than and hating. When you say "Americans," you're talking about ALL Americans. Somehow, I have a problems seeing what I have personally done to make you hate me. Same with Republicans, Liberals, religious people, banjo players, blah, blah, blah.
