On this very website I see people having heated debates about whether curly braces or indentation are insane or brain damaged, and that's just a "nerd" rant and that's ok.
But suddenly, when the debate is whether it's being so paranoid about disgruntled employees nuking prod or stealing IP during layoffs instead of handling a transition gracefully, that's suddenly enters the domain of nationalism and it's no longer the "right" kind of rant to have?
Yeah sometimes people will use unnecessary direct language, which btw is also a cultural thing (see "Culture Map - Breaking Through the Invisible Boundaries of Global Business" by Erin Meyer), but I don't think you should perceive this as an attack on you personally.
This is not just a US site, and even if it was, it's still useful to learn about how stuff works elsewhere in the world. Curious people want to learn and that's why many come here.
