Fair enough :) I did think a while after that my comment may have been rather too blunt. I can certainly accept that the vuvuzelas are part of the modern culture and that to remove them would be to remove the South African flavour from the event. Just be careful of rashly accusing people of "complete cultural ignorance" when it's a really just a benign matter of people wanting to enjoy the football in the way they're accustomed.
