Dear Mr Boskovic,

You were offended by the perpetual characterization of the Balkans  
(Greece included) as "the back yard of Europe".  I was offended by the  
fact that no matter how good or big of a Philhellene you, or any other  
non-Greek, are the ELLAS-ORTHODOXIA blog will never accept your  
gesture of friendship and will always consider you as belonging to a  
rung below the Greeks precisely because you were not born one.
