They make it quite obvious that being an American who has a differing opinion is a sure way to be made to feel unwelcome.
Its not everyone there, just a few very vocal people.

/agree with all three. (while the one anti-war Rob is American, and I think a few of Dan's supporters are foreign)(no real meaning in the last sentence, I know what I mean but can't translate)
I have been reading the thread. I could follow Dan's replies and his lines of thought. Trust me, I'm no apologist for Dan. There are plenty of things he says that I don't agree with, but he's been hammered more than a few times for just having the 'wrong' opinion, not for what the facts of his argument were.
I haven't replied myself because I see no point. You have to read e-mail without emotion and make your arguments based on logical facts, not hyperbole and allegory.*** You can be passionate about a subject, but should have the balls to accept the others point of view, before trashing it.
