You lost me at "Alien". BB is fine.
I must have missed what and when the fight for the bone of contention started, so it is difficult to make an intelligent statement.
Truth, Alien is a little to the left in his political views, but I rarely see my friends and enemies through the prism of politics alone. Alien being a German or a Pole
makes no difference whatsoever. I see Alien as a Pole because of his excellent command of the Polish language, which includes nuances, usually an enigma
to the foreign-born, even the ones with deep knowledge of the Polish language. Alien was definitely born and lived in Poland in his youth.
I have wasted many years violently hating Germany; even my occasional encounters with BB were tinted with irrational dislike, and now I see BB as one of the most
decent bloviators of course his 92% Slavic genes help in forming a positive opinion :::)))
