> The article is about some Americans care obsessively about Europe and their weird criticism. And you do find this behaviour in EVERY discussion regarding EU tech policy in HN. Its very annoying.

It goes both ways. I can't tell you how many comments sections I've seen where someone goes out of his way to diss the US, even though that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. I agree that it's nasty behavior when Americans do it in the other direction too, I just wanted to point out that there's hate-slinging all around.
