With all due respect, I think you're blowing that comment on the skewed power dynamic of the U.K. with the E.U., public miss-information campaigns, and inappropriate policies of political leadership, vastly out of proportion.

Since the flamewars would be about/between nations, I use the term nationalistic flamewar to describe that. It isn't meant to imply that you're somehow a nationalist yourself—just that this sort of flamewar is what we end up with when people post careless comments like that, which is why we ask everyone not to.
