As for suppressing the accent, that's just one experience I had. I was talking to a
French person here in Berlin and at point I thought I had heard a funny R and I asked him
if he was from the south. He looked uncomfortable at that and didn't use that kind of R
anymore.

Not to make a big fuss about something, but, really, I think it's a bit over the top to make a grand statement about people suppressing their regional accents on the basis of one experience with a French person in Berlin.
