A point of clarification

[blamebrampton]

Oh fandom crazies ... how you make me shake my head ...

There is at least one person who reads this journal who sincerely believes I am anti-American.

I'm not anti-American, I'm anti-stupid American. Smart Americans are some of my favourite things in the world. Normal Americans are completely delightful and fill me with hope that generosity still lives in this modern era. But the stupid ones drive me mental, because in the face of every opportunity, they choose small-mindedness.

And it's not racist: I'm anti-stupid everyone. Which is not the same as being anti-thick. God knows I am thick when it comes to playing tennis, chemistry and about 50% of biology; I can't help it. We're born with our sundry thickitudes, but people choose to be stupid.

So, if you are a stupid American, then yes, I am probably anti-you. But it has nothing to do with the accent.

HEE! You can also vouch for my general anti-stupidity -- evil Florentine gelato salesman!

Yeah, I have far too many American friends and far too many favourite American things, but by the same token, I'm not going to overlook the stupid just because it comes from a country I like. The manner of your customs agents, for example, grrrr!

And XXX! I MISS YOU! *Hugs to twins, and Mr A.M., too*

Hmmm, refresh my memory re the evil Florentine gelato salesman?

Missing you too! Wish I had time to keep up with you and with LJ. *hugs to you, J, and cats!*
