Peace on earth, and good will to all men.
I think issues like that one are very sticky and tricky to start to moderate, without one side calling foul. Sorry for my contribution to the degradation Brian.
I would assume the guy felt really ganged up on and got thinking it was because of political issues rathe than the issue at hand. I apologize for my part int he ganging up on you. I should have made my comments in pm.
I think we americans have to understand the international community has been fed a view that we are all arrogant, think we are better than them, and they see us as narrowminded. They do not realize in many cases we are just people trying to survive and understand things better like them. I think people everywhere can be arrogant, and many other things, we just have to learn to deal with each other respectfully, despite negative characterizations and stereotypes.
I grew up in a mulitcultural environment, and learned most people are never what we presume them to be from a race standpoint. People are multidimensional as JR says. There is much more to every person than being a 'race', we are humans first. Humans are supposed to love one another, or at least tolerate one another and enjoy life a bit.
