[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7848202, member: 4937"] If you insist. You are way over the line here and if anyone else was acting this way they'd likely get removed from the thread. You have distorted the clear meaning of what I was saying in favor of some sort of made up position that was never remotely connected to what I said, and you are now engaged in various personal slanders. "If an American chef told me he could do better fish and chips than me, I’d probably agree he could." Sure, I'd definitely agree Paul Hollywood could bake better than I do, but that's not the assertion he made or one that did or would have annoyed me. If Paul Hollywood asserted he was a better baker than me, that would be a totally defensible position. But what Paul Hollywood did was dismiss an entire country, it's cuisine, and it's cooks - not just me, but every pie cooking grandma and chef in the country. What he said was equivalent to the rude, insensitive and close-minded American who goes to Italy, and then complains how the food is better at Olive Garden and how no one can in the country can make a decent 'spaghetti'. "Is professional chef the only profession where people rank their nationality over a chef’s experience and qualifications?" Paul Hollywood's nationality was not something I ever challenged so do not continue to flatter yourself with the idea that I was. No one, least of all me, has questioned his ability to bake on the grounds of his nationality. Indeed, the comment in question that questioned a nations ability to bake was his, and not mine. But in whatever mood you are in, you've decided to prove that I'm the one being racist or whatever you are insinuating. [/QUOTE]
