Yeah, this thread went off the rails. Cats win again.

Impertinent: not showing proper respect; rude.

That's you.

It's possible to correct the record without being rude. But based on your track record that is unlikely to happen.
Ditto.

I had to go back and read the posts in question to decide whether the guy deserves the village thrashing/cat pictures or not. He seems to have been fairly direct, and not rude in the slightest. Only seemed peeved that the author of the misinformation didn't go back and correct the original post with the inaccuracies.

Good on him for correcting the record, and yes, people who post inaccuracies should probably fix them.

Perhaps Spqr is Dutch?
I always thought SPQR was Italian from Rome. According to Gladiator, it's the mark of a Roman legion and I've heard of Italians from Rome getting that tattooed.

Yes, but maybe it's his initials? Don't see how being called Dutch > direct / rude is actually racist.

Not to mention the fact that Dutch isn't a race. It's a nationality.

Of course it's not racist, though pulling up some rando youtube about certain ethnical/national stereotypes is probably not the best way to go about picking on people.

And the youtube is hilariously small minded anyways. He gives the example of a Dutch person agreeing with what he just said to illustrate "rudeness." We Americans like to pussy foot around any sort of issue. Look at all the cat pics. It's a failing on our end though, not a failure on the part of people who use language honestly and directly.

I edited my initial comment for the sake of those who lose sleep over the magnetic vulnerability of the Skyfall.

In the meantime,
