Like I said, it doesn't offend me. It can make you look bad though. And it is 10 years on Flyertalk that has given me and us these relatively high standards. High in comparison to sites like Trip Adviser. We have members who live in something like 80 odd countries here. So when you make a singular visit to one of these countries and make a sweeping generalization about it, you are almost always going to be wrong. It is best to observe and ask questions until you get some experience.
