No Gnomes in the land of the bogs and the little people? Whatever

What a derogatory and condescending remark, Jomtien. You surely are
capable of much better than that,


The phrase was taken from an old TV programme that perhaps you have
never seen. That was comedy too.

"Little people" is what the Irish often call Leprechauns. And Ireland
does indeed have more than its fair share of bogs.

I can't see that either comment is derogatory or condescending to
Leprechauns or bogs, and especially not to the Irish themselves whom I
didn't even mention.

Why did you single Jomtien out and ignore the "derogatory and
condescending" remarks posted by other people?


Because mine was better!
