Nevermind - nothing I said should be taken as compulsory :-)

After reading this blog for a month or so, it seems people here are generally not that easily offended.

Well, eh, you dropped in after some mighty screaming matches were over :-) There was the ET-hates-Russians, the ET-hates-Britons, the Migeru-is-anti-American, multilinguals-exclude-us, and a number of other, usually based on serial misunderstandings. But people learned to deal with it, partly by indicating snarks if in danger of being taken as insult, partly by being offended less easily. (Myself, I am in a funny situation, having been made a frontpager with peacemaking duties, despite an on-line past that included quite a bit of flame-thrower use :-) )
