Not much different than similar behavior by all too many of my fellow Americans. However, what's particularly egregious about Boron's Last post, and something that especially annoys me, is that
after he was corrected on the subject of gender, he continues to do things his way (regardless of being wrong). What that shows me, as apparently it does to you, is that he's willfully dismissive of all things that do not fit into his rather narrow worldview. Whether such things be proper language use, game rules he finds inconvenient, people's opinions, or even historical events.
Thanks for trying, Karacan. But I'm afraid you're wasting your efforts with him. And do not worry about the image he presents of your countrymen, as he's not representative of the average or majority (at least not in my own experience with Germans). Though I do sympathize with the bad taste he leaves you.
