I know this is the Pit and certain rules of basic civility are regularly suspended here, but why are you harshing on the newbie?

Welcome to the boards, **Tender\_Betty**! People around here are pretty quick on the draw…it’s a good idea to do a search for weird stuff in the news before posting. 🆒

My guess, it sounded a bit like she was harshing on Americans. Only slightly, and it didn’t ruffle my PERSONAL feathers, but it takes all kinds.
