Ludwig seems to have made other comments in salient jest:

Going to poor developing SE Asian lands such as these makes you realise just how backward Mainland China is and how peasant-like the Mainlanders themselves are (despite any protestations to the contrary). There are certainly many Thais crammed into tiny areas, living on very little, with little or no education. Nevertheless, they most certainly do not push, shout, or spit, lie, cheat, or steal. Neither do they feign ignorance and/or sheer disinterest in a way the Mainlanders appear to have converted into a (praiseworthy and face-earning) art form.

Maybe it is just his sense of humour that doesn't come across well. I think a colon would have been better in the first quote; but that is up to him. |

I understood your point, it just doesn't seem to have much (if any) validity to it. |

None, I was just giving you the benefit of the doubt by saying a little. |

It is not at all clear from where your putative "a lot" stems; the phrase employed by 'Migo', viz., "doesn't seem to have much (if any)" quite obviously does not permit any such interpretation. Rather, the parameters are clearly set between none (which is the option I would opt for as it happens) and 'a little' (read, 'an insignificant amount'). Given your (somewhat pathetic and certainly failed) puny attempt at a trollish thread elsewhere on the subject of (what you misname as) 'word recognition abilities' (how very lay), this is somewhat ironic to say the very least.
It is clear, however, why you would want to seek to divert the topic. |

| Putting aside your strident attempts to divert discussion (read, 'move the goalposts') once again, 'Once again', it is more than a tad obvious - to say the very least - that, in fact, you had no point; - that is actually why you modify your 'point' each and every post. |

Ludwig, you really can not help yourself. You keep allowing yourself to be put into situations in which you would not choose to be. As you have made such a point of "issue avoidance", then please answer this direct question: Is your above post another example of you jesting?
Let us all see the Ludwig that can answer a direct question. |

| 'Blackguy-not-in-Asia', sorry to be the one who has to totally shatter your illusions, but quotes (especially when they stem from your imaginary friends) do not actually constitute arguments. That much is clear. |

Not at all, the point you were trying to make was quite transparent, you just picked the worst example possible to try to make that point, hence it has no validity. |

| Migo, if you didn't like my first example, how about the second? As Ludwig has embarrassed himself by constantly harking on about issue avoidance and then avoiding the issue himself, we will probably never know his own feelings on the matter. |

Racism, sexism, poor grammar, whatever next?!?
You guys all need to relax a little and remember that seriousness is the last refuge of the truly shallow.
Chill.................... |
