No, it's an observation. Stop playing the victim card, the very fact that you're so determined to take offence is indicative of the attitude being referred to in Ulysses' post.

If it had been an American making the comment about vaguely generalised British posting habits it would have been chuckled at and largely ignored. In discussions such as this or those critical of a governments actions, in the six and a half years I've been active in political debates on the internet it will nearly always be an American (and usually the same select group of individual American's within the community, rather than all participating American's as a whole) that decides to take an indirect comment as an affront to their national pride. The fact you're trying to start an argument to negate that point means either a) you conform to that stereotype (so to argue that it's untrue out of a sense of national pride would make it largely impossible for you to formulate a convincing argument) or b) you're trolling. Need I suggest that in either instance there's not much point in continuing this line of conversation?
