I agree wholeheartedly - it is a term that should not be used in adult conversation. It is a shame and a pity that there are members of XMarks that will disparage a whole people this way, either through mis-guided protectionism or through wanting to be one of the guys - Look, how much I can hate!

How often do we see members piling on with me too, me too. When the truth is that they have no personal knowledge except what they have read here.

If someone has a genuine grievance, then they should speak up. The company should be named and shamed, but we cannot blame a whole nation.

I once had my pocket picked by an American - should I spend the rest of my life going round calling all Americans thieves? I think not.

This is a family friendly forum and we should all post in a responsible manner to act as a good example for younger or newer members.

Thanks AA for bringing this up.
