Here.

Sorry, I don't know what 45th parallel refers to, unless this is meant as a misprint for the 49th parallel and provoking of a USA-Canada thing. I certainly meant nothing of the sort, and don't understand how it could be taken that way. I merely thought the confederate flag and related monuments might do well to become museum pieces, with the German example being a reasonable one of consigning such things to history. I'd be grateful for clarification; if I have missed something here, set me straight please.

Your use of the word "your" in the phrase
quote:
your racist flags and monuments

could be read as a general, detrimental reference to all Americans.

This is the kind of thing that starts cross-border wars on board, and it's rather apparent that you're from Canada. Feelings can run high on that kind of thread as it is without comments that can be read as inflammatory.

I accept that you may not have intended this, and worded my host post accordingly. It's still something to take care with, though.

Thanks. I have no quarrel on either account, having not dreamed of any sort of 1812 nor adverse inflectional meaning. Henceforth I shall nail down my phrasings more precisely so as to avoid future screw-ups.
