Carolyn, I watched the video. It is, as you said, over the top and a bit silly (I thought I would scream if they showed the Trams one more time!). Again, I cannot believe how your original post (which is clearly critical of the video itself, NOT Sofia or Bulgaria) could elicit such comments; some of which are downright idiotic.  Did some of these people even bother to read what you wrote?

I agree with @Garth and also commend you on your restraint in responding to some people's (undeserved) criticism and obvious lack of class. Unfortunately, I would not be able to show the same restraint, but I'm just a fiery redhead like that. I have read and re-read your original post and the comments that followed. I simply do not understand how it can go from a quick video review on your part to a full fledged defense of a nation and invitation to see yourself out of the country on the part of some overzealous readers. You stated right off the bat that you like Sofia and Bulgaria. However, even if you didn't, this is YOUR blog and you can express whatever views YOU wish, and I suppose deal with the comments that follow. Perhaps @logitech, @Светлина, and @mirror do not understand the concept of sarcasm and mistook a simple video review for a Bulgaria bashing. That's their problem. Or perhaps the rest of us simply don't possess the "huge amount of knowledge, wisdom and rich cultural and historical background to understand foreign text, book, video" that they clearly possess in spades (I should point out that this is sarcasm, in case they confuse that with a genuine compliment). I am all for constructive criticism, meaningful dialogue and a sharing of opinions. I am not, however, all for a showering of undeserved and downright confusing diatribes on why you are (and the rest of us who dare to say a negative word about Bulgaria, be it sarcastic or not) such a terrible person who has no right to share an opinion (AGAIN, ON A MOVIE, NOT A NATION!!). All this has made me a bit terrified to move to Bulgaria. I am an opinionated person myself and will freely express my personal views on any subject that happens to strike my fancy, including *shudder* Bulgaria. If people react like they have to you, I may not be able to keep my cool. I guess it's just the bossy and entitled American in me.
