Hans, people are entitled to their opinions, so comments like this don't bother me, as there will "always" be people who have differing opinions; and that is a good thing. We live in a "so-called" democracy and part of this democracy is being allowed to express one's opinions; and be thankfully we can do that anyway. I will always defend peoples rights to their opinions, even if I do not agree with them. Besides, the people making these comments weren't there anyway and I can only feel sad for them coming to such conclusions in the first place.
Furthermore, getting upset about such statements just give these people the attention they seek. By reacting to these comments just continue to inflame the situation. Just ignore it and it goes away. The kiwi-oz rivalry is nothing new and I don't buy into it anyway.
Cheers Pete
