This guy is a real peach! First he insults Americans. Then he justifies his
existence with excuses for his past. And then he insults all of us by
telling us we don't know where Slovenia is. And furthermore, he goes on to
tell us how we should practise free speech, in writing only what he wishes
to hear.!
His first letter was in better English and therefore given that he says
he's a journalist with an ascerbic wit; I say his second letter is a
misleading falsehood. Anyone can turn off their spellchecker. Next he reads
us some Communist propaganda so as to put us in line as to what he wishes to
hear. Next he gives us a hard time about our intelligence..This is all
hogwash!! The guy knows what he says and should be accountable for his
actions; he just isn't. Lastly, his first letter was offensive, blasphemous
and plain rude!
I vote that firewall be created in Major-domo to keep him out of our hair!
Anyone else agree??
