Heather, normally I have the hide of a rhinocerous, so I'm not over reacting 
to what may really not be intended as a flame.....but I AM an American and 
proud of it, and will fight to the death for the privilege of remaining one. 
God forbid your being an American? If your intentions were to insult 
Americans, well, then, you certainly have done that to me. Please don't claim 
your lack of knowledge of the English language, you write it extremely well, 
in fact, you write it much better than most Americans. 

This is Ridecamp, a forum developed by, intended for and mostly about 
Americans. While riders from all countries are welcome, kindly do not insist 
that we agree that you are better than Americans because you are French. 
I know this is off topic...however, if you are so proud of being French that 
you're spitting in our faces and then asking for our help, don't expect to 
get it from me.
Americans have liberated your country TWICE in the last two world 
wars...we're getting kinda tired of saving your fannies and then having our 
faces spit in afterwards.
