As a non-American I have to say that I was taken aback by the tone of
the comments in "that thread".

I have spent time on Usenet (or Abuse-net as it should be called) and I
was reminded of some of the things that occur there.

I never thought I'd have to resort to using a "kill-filter" to remove
the posts of a particular member of the Elecraft community, but last
night I did just that!

If I want xenophobic rants, and "The US is best" sentiments I'll hang
out in the seedier back-waters of the net. This list has always struck
me as one of the friendliest and "on-topic" places.

Let's hope we can return to normal business.
