your message is interesting, in terms of its horological information and recommendations.

I don't consider myself to be a "do-gooder" or a guardian of political correctness, but I wonder whether you help or hurt your "message" with its tone -- specifically, the attack on South American countries, as such, and the challenge to readers who may disagree with your tone.

In my view, you do better to stick to the facts. But you may choose to set another tone, within the bounds of internet etiquette / community standards. I expect that you will get a better conversation going, if you set a better tone for the discussion.
