Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I am with the "let it go" faction. Unfotunately, you get you fair share of over-sensitive and sometimes just plain stupid and offensive types on bulletin boards, just as you do anywhere. You can either fight them or treat them with quiet contempt. If you keep on responding you run the risk of playing their game and being regarded as the same.

As for his anti-Brit remarks, he is just displaying his ignorance. He is to be pitied more than despised. Don't even bother trying to correct him. It is impossible via a keyboard from 5000 miles away.

Got involved in a silly political debate on the AF1 board once and ended up being threatened. I guess it is easy to do that from 5000 miles away but totally pointless. As I said, let it go. BTW, I told him where to find me, but I have not seen him yet....
