I'm sorry. That's misunderstanding. It wasn't hate, I wanted to sound it sarcastic rather than offensive - I wanted to make fun of Dan Kandall's (exaggerated, in my view - that shocked me, indeed) reaction and show I might have a "reason" to "hate" certain nationalities for what "they" might have done to the people of Bohemia and Moravia and that in spite of the history there's actually nobody I could really hate in fact. Moreover, nationalism is offtopic, isn't it? It's clear I failed to be funny for which I'm sorry, too. Sorry, Dan, sorry Piotr. Good day to everyone!

Dear members,

Such hate-mail had better be left alone in the gutter where it belongs.
There's no need to comment on it publicly.
