I think I detect a bit of not-so-subtle USA/Canada rivalry (assuming the
original poster
was Canadian - I guess Central America is also part of North America) in which
case it
could be just like the English and the Scottish (or English and Welsh etc .)
rivalries and so
forth and not too serious. Probably it wasn't meant seriously.
"grrrrrrrrrrrrr..." is obviously
overdone.
You're right, in my opinion, about patriotism having little (if any) place in
the Rubik's Cube
community. In fact, patriotism, by its very nature, excludes more people than
it includes
(no nation having 50%+ of the population).
