HN or HN mods are against British people? Have you not seen a single one of the Monty Python links I've posted?
This is an extreme case of how everyone with strong passions always feels like the community and/or mods are against them*. It's striking to what absurd lengths this principle goes. I don't mean pick on you personally—this mechanism seems to be hard-wired in all of us.
I promise you that neither the mods nor the community hate British people. Personally I love them/you, and I'm confident most of the community here ranges from love to neutral, and nowhere near hate. No doubt some nasty anti-British comments have appeared here—but that's because everything appears here. It's a large public internet forum.
