…Although from what I understand of it, Tasmanians get more flak for their VERY close family ties than for their distinctive accent. I don't see alleged or a similar qualifier before “VERY close family ties,” which emphasizes very in all caps. If you wish to suggest rampant incest or to promulgate reports thereof as factual, can you furnish reliable supporting documentation?

I don't understand why, but that is how it comes across.

Said the "hillbilly" who has only ever been in the foothills of Appalachia...once. But--since I've been insulted, I reckon I'm now in the "in crowd"!
