Let me remind you what was said:

Yip, he's in France.  I too have not heard many 
good things about collecters from France.  Sad, 
isn't it?  But it's true:  if you feel even the 
slightest bit hesitant to order from someone, 
DON'T.  Even if they claim to have a hugely 
rare, wishlist cel...  It's not worth the hastle 
and headache when things go wrong.


Nowhere in this post does it say anything 
against the nation of France or its people in 
general.  This was merely an answer to a 
question.  I was speaking about one particular 
dealer that I have had problems with; and I have 
also heard of deals gone wrong with other 
dealers from France.  This in no way slanders 
the people of the country by trying to warn 
other people before they do business with said 
dealer and possibly others.  I have nothing 
personlly against France, though with my past 
troubles with this dealer, I think other people 
would like to know.  If they have been out as 
much money as I have---and many others---I would 
be GLAD to know about the dangers of going to 
business with them.

Though the thing with France was not my point.  
My point was to remind EVERYONE that whenever 
they take out an order with another person--
dealer or private collector--you are taking a 
risk.  There are different shades of this risk, 
but it is still a risk in the end.  Whether you 
use the information you can gather about the 
other person to decide whether or not the risk 
is worth it is entirely up to you.
