Some, like the ivy aphid are already in North America, but I'm not sure how much of a dent it actually makes. There's great precedent for successful introduction of biocontrol agents for other invasive species. There's also great precedent for catastrophic failures(especially in instances where there's a native close relative of a target species), so it's definitely something that needs to be very carefully explored and not to be done haphazardly.

It doesn't have the same pests and diseases as in Europe to keep it in check.

I kinda don't see the point of peeling that kind of potato. I get them entirely because of the thin skin and would just the bigger thicker skinned ones if I minded the skin.

I've sometimes just scrubbed off the skin with some steel wool like stuff though.

I wouldn't take that as representative of the site as a whole. My guess is that they were just ironically "misbehaving" since the person they were replying to said they haven't seen a Hexbear user misbehaving, but I could be wrong since we're not a monolith in our thought processes or posting habits.
