I have found this forum to be *extremely* tolerant...For instance, on bladeforums.com, Alberts behavior would not have been tolerated beyond the first instance...and he would have been gone...*I* have been given infractions/points and even a 48 hr suspension there...and I'm considered a moderate in my views/behavior...
On ARFCOM, Albert may have been allowed his behavior, but only in specific 'free speech' sub-forums...(bladeforuns also)...
Albert does seem to have an anti-American attitude, which I have noticed among a few non-US forum members (other forums than this)...
Offhand, I can't think of any nationality that I dislike as much as Albert despises Americans...
