Maybe it's just me, but this used to be a really nice, informative list.
Travellers could disagree about which hotel or train to take, but that was as
far as the animosity went.

Now, we have people attacking each other based on nationality, and that
doesn't seem right. The computer gives us the luxury of ignoring people we
don't like, so personal attacks are not needed.

The way I see it, if you don't like, say, Americans, just leave us alone. Same
with the French, Germans, etc.

So, lets get back to travel, and leave the nastiness at home.

Ignoring the crap politics and nation-baiting threads is a fine art. Once
you start practicing the art religiously, the newsgroup is back to being the
travel treasure trove it always was. Just don't read them. And DEFINITELY
don't respond to them.
