If anything, the OP is going to get less responses from Romanians because they are unhappy with TL.
That's actually the main reason why I stopped posting here and removed my nationality in the profile. I perceived TLnet as a community comprised mostly of intelligent people - however, pushing that "Romanians sarcasm LOL" meme is just sickening - it just sounds like a broken record, babbling about the same thing over and over again. I shouldn't care, because it's the internet, but to me TLnet seems, as I said, like a place full of intelligent people.
If I would go to the TLnet fitness thread and start saying "you're fat eh? you must be American LOL" that would probably be considered a huge offense; calling someone a Romanian here became synonym with 'retarded', but doesn't seem the least bit offensive.
Btw I'm not really butt-hurt. I'm not living in Romania anymore, but the jokes about Romanians at my office are hilarious and I even push them forward cause I enjoy them. This meme, on the other hand, just goes to show that the TLnet is not what I thought of it.
tl;dr: make fun of Romanians = encouraged, make fun of Americans/others = ban.
