>It was an individual, whose feelings were hurt directly, and who felt quite put down by some of the statements made -- especially by the implication that I was being "over"-sensitive about it.
>I realized, as soon as I hit "Submit," that I wasn't all that clear about that. My feelings were individually hurt, by some of what SK wrote to me, but some of it was about the lumping together of Americans, as well. Just as you might feel a twinge if someone said, maybe, that all Aussies love sheep, smell like lanolin, or speak Strine. Kinda diminishes that identity thing, you know?
Anyway, I'll get over it, and I was just wanting to make it clear that it wasn't only the remarks that were directed at me that I was reacting to.
