From: Bee Mizser OK I'm going to defend Danielle here, mainly because I've seen the conversation, and I also know something you don't. She is American. Therefore when she asked the question, she was making an observation about her own countryfolk. And yes I suppose we've all been there and posted in the heat of the moment. Anyway, I think we all need to take a big chill pill and move on  . Life is far too short.. So the OP is an American? Perhaps that is why she was so rude; she wanted to support her own argument. That would explain everything. |

From: Dancien Graves So, if we're going to go with the broad, sweeping stereotypes and generalizations..maybe Americans are rude because most Europeans are judgemental assholes? Say, whats the big idea, whaddya mean most Europeans are judgemental assho........... Pauses.......... Thinks for a second..... Well......now you mention it...........I am European, and a judgemental asshole. Hmmph Ok....maybe you gotta point there. |

From: Danielle Harrop I was going through events.....and saw this one place over and over, something about the feeling you get from fire, and what your tongue does.....and I go there, then after 15 minutes of being alone and ignore, mention it to the dj, who trans's me home, then ban's me and mutes me.. and I gotta wonder... why post events if you delight in banning and muting ppl? so that is my question, I think? but mainly, wanna say, why post in Events, unless you want quanitity not quality? and another question, why are Americans so rude and hateful to every one even their own? I have the whole conversation in a log, for anyone to read, so they can see, I was not the antagonist......but you guys don't care, do ya...nah, didnt think so.. but anyway so yeah, a few questions so I"m good with the rules right? IM me or somethin, if you want more, but you don't so it's okay...cause I'm not like a celebrity in SL or nothing, jus lil ole me  well, what... makes more sense than a lotta posts here go figure Psychotic, anti-social and self destructive American woman declares all Americans to be rude in the Second Life forums...on the next Geraldo at Large! |

From: Danielle Harrop I've been in SL for almost a year. My remark was made on my experience.
but go ahead, chauvenist Bradely, defend the DJ.
thank you all for your support.
I guess I must have deserved such treatment. Was it because I was a woman? maybe it was because I was asking for it because I had on a mini skirt?
good night. No. It was only because you said all Americans are rude or w/e your comment was. No one would have said anything rude to you if you hadn't made such a generalization. Kthnx

Welcome back to the island Kelly! Noooooooooo!!!!! Sorry George. No reference to you whatsoever. Your builds are one of the main reasons the island is so beautiful. And that little pool you've built next to my place is lovely. |

From: Sally Silvera at the risk of keeping this monster at the ...... I spent part of my evening at the hangout, where the general idea seemed to be how wonderful it was to meet and share
I then moved on to help somone with the texturing problem, which showed me how cool it is to meet and share
Then moved on to a lot of live music ...... which showed me how cool it is to meet and share
Play nice folks..... it´s easier Yes this is advice much needed to be heeded in this place. Not just SL ... I mean these Forums. /me hugs Sally x |

Stop apologizing. It is what it is.
OP made a statement which was directed at Americans so whever responses came about should be backed up, same as the op. You respond then you back down apologizing? Why?
Regardless if the op is American himself doesn't matter. It was said, now handle whatever responses are made. That's it.

From: Colette Meiji Pssst Chris they call french-fries "chips" If they is referring to Europeans in general, I think you'll find they call them lots of things. Only us Brits have the audacity to refer to fries as chips |

****UPDATE****
It's official, Americans AREN'T rude at all!
Seattle, Oklahoma and Florida were all represented in the Hangout last night and all representatives were the nicest people you could ever meet. Can you imagine? There was a bunch of us, from various parts of the world, all chatting in the same room? This interweb stuff is AMAZING!!
I was given a Pilgrims Hat and watched an enormous turkey leg get devoured before my eyes.
"Oh say can you see, by the dawns early light
What so proudly we hail'd at the twighlights last gleaming?
........"
Whoo hooo!

From: Kelly Kuiper Except that rude cow from the Midlands. lol. Just to show how completely nice the American people are, I stepped up to the bar in the hangout at 8.15pm last night to say goodnight ....... 11pm I eventually left. I think I may have been magnetised by Bilbo's sparkling chat and drink mixing skills. Oh yeah, a 7 & 7!! Thats what I learned about last night! And a Buffalo Sweat! I'm off to Omaha to find a small bar with a flickering Budweiser sign outside, then I'll blow in through the door, sit at the bar and order a 7 & 7!! Cooool |

YOU (being the US) call them chips (I think) because of 'game chips' which were specifically created to go with game birds. And are crisps. So ... what are crisps? |

Sandy,
I personally will not be sending you canned cheese. I like you too much. I wouldn't wish that stuff on any of my fellow rude Americans, I'd hate to see us start exporting the junk.
