Many of us associate the accent exclusively with Arnold. LOL. Don't take it too personally. We like Arnolds accent and to us it sounds like all Germans are impersonating Arnold.

The problem I saw and still see is that it disqualified me from the whole discussion, despite having something 'valuable' to say. But you are right, I don't take it personally (anymore) and actually can think back about this with a smile ony face.

Similarly... at first it sounds like all Icelanders speaking English are impersonating Björk. But it's just the Icelandic accent.
