Everybody who's critical (or bring facts to the discussion) gets banned? Is that why there are so few comments on this blog?
Notwithstanding some of my comments, you still have a pretty interesting blog. I'll continue to link to you on sf.com.

I accept any criticism but refuse personal insults

Fair enough. Same here. And I consider "frog" an insult and a slur.

You are way too sensitive Superfrenchie. 'Frog' is more a term of endearment.
If someone wants to insult the French, they are usually more graphic. If they simply use 'Frog', it's usually meant teasingly in gest or lightly at best. I don't think every Brit takes 'Rostbif' with such offense. Americans aren't insulted by 'Yank'.

Go check the latest comments in French-basher extraordinaire Bremmer's last post to see how much a term of endearment is "frog."
