One of his shticks is to express his concern about people badmouthing Trump (particularly strange since he isn’t even American), despite the fact that he insists he doesn’t a Trump supporter. He can’t even be honest about his political sympathies. He mght sympathize with some of Trump’s comments but probably thinks him a baboon. However, his dislike of Trump is overshadowed by how he loves how much Democrats hate Trump. ---

To be _quite_ fair on the tipping thing, it probably was cultural inertia; in the UK tipping is the exception than the norm, also tips generally get pooled by management and divided up between the whole staff, kitchen included, rather than kept and partly divvied up by your server. I’m not sure how you could be on this board that long and _not_ know that isn’t how the US tipping works, mind. Please understand, I don’t want to generally defend him, but I can see how someone coming from the UK could easily make that error. ---

It’s only because of the SDMB that I know i)The US minimum wage is not actually the basic wage servers get and ii) Since the IRS make estimates on servers tips, serving me could literally cost them money. I’ve never seen this explained anywhere else, (and unfortunately only found it out after going to the US) ---

Or even that most Doper of things, fighting ignorance. You, of course, do not notice when I criticise Trump and his ilk. The moderators on general - and you in particular - have completely failed here. I fear you - and America - will find this out the hard way in November. ---

> [@Quartz](#): > > Heaven forfend that I point out the bad arguments and the paranoid ravings, or when I insist on that most British of things, fair play. Or even that most Doper of things, fighting ignorance. That’d be neat if you did that occasionally. Mostly you just get your knickers in a twist when others point out _your_ bad arguments, paranoid ravings and ignorance, and whinge about how you’re the real victim here which you characterise as a plea for ‘fair play’, even when it’s clear you’re getting the responses you fairly deserve. ( **Ludovic** - from what he’s told us it would be technically accurate, although not necessarily implying a link to any related ‘movement’ as such. In the grand scheme of things it’s not a point I hold against him in itself.)
