Is the 2008 Formula 1 season tarnished before it has even started?

I think that most proper fans that actually follow the sport and read up on what happens know by now that it was only a bunch of people doing this and it's not all the spanish fans. I hope the casual fans know this as well, I would hate to hear about spanish fans getting beat up by english fans because that would only keep escalating for as long as lewis and fernando are both racing each other.
