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?


We're talking stereotypes here. We don' need no steenkin' facts.


plus from what I've seen here and other forums it seems as if Australians and New Zealanders expect to insult each other and tobe insulted by each other. I don't understand why, but that is how it comes across.
