To be fair, Zoupa gets rather defensive when it comes to French-bashing, and rightfully so. He gets a lot of shit around here, especially when it comes to French military history, which does not begin and end with WW2, all that "Freedom Fries" bullshit, and that uberweenie deVillepin.
I respect and adore the French for Lafayette and their powder-blue Catholic Bourbonism and their making love with their faces and the Revolution and the DeGaullist penchant for acting in their own interests.
So when I bash Zoups, I bash him as an anti-semitic Eurotard, not as a Frenchman. Any other way is not fair to him, or to France.
Disagree. One can tweak the hypersensitive without disliking what they are hypersensitive about. I am quite the Francophile myself, what with publishing books on French military history mostly to satisfy my own desire to own the books, and all.
Zoupa is Zoupa, whether he is whining about me being "riled up" when nothing could be further from the truth, or threatening to shit on a DVD because somehow he thinks I will burst into tears over
that (or a picture of The Falling Man, or whatever). So, when I bash him, I don't do so as a "Frenchman" (for that would be, as you note, unfair to France), but as a garden-variety asshat. He is his own unique self. And his tears taste wonderful. Best of all, when he trolls, he reliably bursts into tears when I countertroll. Life is good here at Languish.
