Well, I wasn't looking to earn any "points," but I did want to make the point that if you are going to dish it out, you've got to take some too. The insult to Italians was simply gratuitously made, but I see some of my Germanic tribesmen have pretty thin skin after all.
my german mates have the thickest skin in the world
maybe your sense of humour may need some more beers. after all, you were the only one seeing insult where there was only bad grammar, or too many beers.
yummm!
