wm,

I will leave a response in terms of US 1st Amendment issues arising from your post to your fellow Americans.

But for you to suggest that non-Americans do not have the right to criticise anything US is quite delusional. What non-right would this be and where is it enshrined?

Then you misinterpret the value of 'loyalty' to use it to propose censorship. A truly horrifying thought pattern.

Buchan is no icon of mine. You libeled him in an attempt to undermine the point I was attempting to make through the use of that particular quotation of his. My defence of Buchan's reputation against your slander was not on the grounds of his being a Brit and you being an American. That should have been obvious.

I will not comment further as I find your thinking so far out in left field that it is not worth the effort.
