Been on this site too long ...

For a change I went on to an online birdwatching site yesterday, where some American birders were complaining that it's difficult to pursue their hobby with the increased level of security around.

I suggested that, if they can rename "french fries" as "freedom fries", we Brits should rename the American Wigeon a "Paranoid Republican Hegemony Wigeon". The moderators deleted my post and suggested I wasn't doing much for mutual friendship and understanding. Really??
