Caper should be fine after this suitably worshipful thread. She was probably just a little peeved at having several people actually disagree with her. How disagreeable! Smile

In actual fact, Aramas, I have great respect for those who disagree with me...respectfully. I have no fear of other points of view. Life is a learning experience and I don't purport to have all the answers. Personal attacks, however, are another issue entirely. I don't take kindly to thugs, whether they be the physically aggressive kind or the verbally abusive kind. No one will bully me into backing down my position. If that makes me a "feminazi" in the eyes of persons like yourself, then that's a small price to pay for my dignity. If you don't stand for something in this life, my poor misguided Aramas, you will fall for anything. Cool

Ah, my poor condescending Caper. What do you stand for, exactly?

Dear Aramas,
Well, she certainly stands for a lot snide, patronizing guff from some posters on these forums.
These days, when I come back from subbing in a junior high school class and log on to Dave's, I get instant deju vu, reading some of this blatherskite.
Regards,
John

@anthyp:

To infer that Capergirl is referring solely to Teacher Lindsay would be a gross oversimplification.

@johnslat:

Couldn't have put it any better myself.

@aramas:

Condescending? That's laughable and hypocritical. Under the bridge with ye, troll.

The "Golden Rule" states: Due onto others as you would have them due onto you.

TL did his little bit and CG is doing hers. However the amount of people coming to the defence of CG and the amount of people coming to the defence of TL is startaling, but i have a feeling that TL is used to being the least liked person around.

I notice that Teacher Lindsay only joined Daves ESL Cafe less than two months ago. I do not know how long he has been in China for but I predict that, with his attitude, he will not last too long.

I don't know about you, but doesn't this all seem terribly infantile? Rolling Eyes

I have to say that I rather agree with Aramas and Anthyp on this one. I didn't think Capergirl's response to Lindsay's unwarranted post was especially clever or witty or mature (to me, mature would have been to ignore supposedly baseless accusations and say nothing... which is probably what I ought to be doing now), but that's up to her. Mocking others, however, who express opinions different from the majority (e.g. Shaman calling Aramas a 'troll') is a much more insidious problem than name calling. What a nice community we're becoming.

Some of the people who have contributed to this thread (china regulars) clearly have too much time on their hands.

Capergirl, you gave a good humoured response to TL's unwarranted criticism.

What more is there to say?
