To update everyone here, Toe is upset at me because I came firmly down on the side of a teacher in a discussion about a nightmare employer. The teacher recounted how she was attempting to give notice in order to resign. The issue was the employer's temper. The boss fired her on the spot and then tried to get her to sign a document which would have authorized a 20000 nt fine (illegal in the first place; but also only supposed to be witheld if an employee pulls a runner, not resigns within the terms of the contract). When she wouldn't sign it, the boss got abusive. Ths person is now complaining to the foreign affairs police about the matter and trying to get severence (she was fired without notice or compensation). Toe suggested that the problem was mostly the employee's fault because she had the audacity to resign and state it was because the boss's temper was innappropriate. I wrote in to support the teacher and called Toe's nonsense unhelpful (which it is). Now, it seems, he's stalking me.

I'm not down with internet abreviations. No idea what LMFAO means. If it's an insult, well, sticks and stones Toe. I know the mentality/maturity of the person from which it came.

You say you're ignoring me. Then actually do it. Grow up.

Laughing My F--king A$$ Off. Well, if that's what he uses it for, more power to him. We have to be tolerant of those who choose alternate lifestyles.

I had good friends who, along with their four year old son, were stalked and harrassed by a psycho former employer for over two years. He eventually became a pariah among the foreign community in Kaohsiung (he was an American married to a Taiwanese national). He was a suspect in an attempted murder at a buxiban he used to work for as well, but parted with on less than favorable terms. He too, had a nasty temper, throwing things in the class, screaming at students. he even went tso far as to hold a nine year old out a third storey window for not paying attention. he then had the unmitigated gall to not understand why the child's mother was "unduly" upset.

Piece of advice, TS, given by many locals was to bring this individual to the attention of a local cab company or construction firm if they get too creepy

Xenophobe, what are you talking about? Are you actually suggesting that gangsters should pay me a visit?

I was lmfao at the idea that I am stalking TS. He is the one who goes out of his way to attack me here and on forumosa. His more vitriolic posts have been deleted from this forum, so the proof is not available anymore. The "stalking" he is referring to is me giving him back a taste of his own medicine. What kind of "teacher" insults their students for trying to use the language being taught?

Please don't jump to the same conclusions that TS has. It is very easy for people to twist around the written word. Often is the case where something is written with intentions of being humourous and the joke gets lost because you can't hear the tone.

Come on Xenophobe....you don't have all the facts, please reserve your comments for when you do.
