I do not want to fan the flames about comments made toward USA 
operators. However when I see insults based upon my citizenship I 
believe I have a right to let the other person know he is insulting a 
large group. I wish the Canadian no ill will. Many of us have paid a 
high price for our citizenship. To have someone say that we are 
"obnoxious bastards" (an American comment..shame on you ) certainly is 
their right to free speech. My QSL card happens to be a US flag. 
Arrogance does not become anyone. Do not disparage my country ! That 
type of comment is not what this reflector is about.
