     I have to agree. I just spent most of April and 1/2 of May traveling through France and ate a lot of them. You are fortunate to live where some of the world's best cuisine is all around you. I also had a lot of foie gras--it's illegal in California so I had to get a few years' worth in a month and a half.

And the lower working class, promoting horrible work conditions and positions, while thinking someone of such low stature as an animal that he alone could control

Hitler himself idolized Ford and reportedly kept his portrait in his office

I've about had it with chess. com's nonsense.

It is probably just a word or 2 that is the problem. Please don't bail on us. You would be badly missed...

No. there was no word that should have been considered offensive. As I said, it was very carefully written--precisely to avoid that possibility.

The fault, if that's the right word, lies entirely with chess. com's garbage auto-mod and the atmosphere of laziness and irresponsibility that fosters its use.

Chess.com's got communism and Stalin, nothing better.

This thread had some excellent discussions about Ford, bigotry, fascism, music. It would be a shame to see it reduced to a string of one-liners tossed back and forth.

Why does that matter?

It's like children scribbling in a classic novel.
