Dan, Dan, I can not speak for everyone on this
international forum, but I was initially just dismayed by the repeated posting of new threads by danbloom on the same subject clogging up the front page. Then I was dismayed and bewildered by you immediately lashing out at the "uncivil, and rude" and now "humorless" US.
Then I was dismayed by the dancing around your main theme that ereading was deterimental to "critical thinking". This was most pronounced by your "new" thread
People who "read" on computer screens and Kindles have rewired brains? This thread was introduced with the warning to "read slowly"
This thread post was backed up by a "fictional future discovery" by neuroscientists. One of your "fictional future neuroscientists" even stated this:

"Knowing that pathways in the brain can be enhanced may be significant in the long run in coming up with new treatments for certain neurological problems, such as lack of critical analysis skills, where these pathways become degraded among longterm screen-readers."

I think you might get along better here if you took the time to get to know us (if it helps, you might want to try reading slowly).
I personally would appreciate a toning down of the patronizing language. We are a great bunch here, even the ones from the US.
