For those of you who are interested, the list of teachers' ESL and job sites above is permanently (more or less) posted on my website in the ESL section at:
http://www.bearcanada.com Click on the "ESL" button.

I have a supplementary issue here. I'm not trying to start a war, folks, just to straighten something out. I just noticed Clark Griswald's lengthy post above where he took some unfortunate shots.

I'm sorry to say this but Clark is a fraud and an outright liar, making accusations he absolutely knows to be untrue. His reference to my website is outrageous; bearcanada.com is a commercial website for wholesaling childrens' products, not a teachers' ESL site - as is obvious to anyone who looks. I put up a section on scams to help teachers protect themselves, and nothing more. And Clark, you know this. You're not clever, just dishonest.

Also, Clark made another outrageous and dishonest flame attack where he accuses me of deleting posts when someone objected to them. Never happened, Clark. Sorry. But I've noticed that you appear to do just that.

We had a thread where I advised teachers to ask for their airfare in advance, and where you posted a long, thoughtful, knowledgeable dissertation on how teachers NEVER receive advance airfare, and how it would be foolish and maybe dangerous to ask for it. But someone did a poll and it seemed that only 38% of teachers waited til the end of the term for airfare reimbursement; the rest received either half or all right up front. Just as I advised them to do.

And where is your long, thoughtful, knowledgeable dissertation on how teachers NEVER receive advance airfare? Deleted, of course. That's very honest of you, Clark. Give bad and completely wrong advice while pretending to be an international expert, and then delete your stupid and uninformed posts when proven wrong. Then pretend it never happened and instead accuse someone else of doing it.

What about all the "research" that's "fundamentally important" before you give advice, Clark? It seems that maybe you are the one who gives dangerous and useless advice because he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Have you thought about how many teachers could suffer if they believed and followed your foolish and uninformed advice on airfares? You try so hard to make yourself appear as the calm and reasoned grand master with knowledge that spans the universe, but you don't know half as much as you think. And you are a liar and a fraud.

For the rest of you, Clark is miffed because I panned his buxiban.com website as being of little value, and is looking for revenge wherever he can find it. Sorry Clark, but I still think buxiban.com is of little value. And I still think you should be honest and identify your connection with buxiban when you recommend yourself in posts (instead of pretending to be a disinterested teacher who has benefited from using the site). And I still think you should be paying for ads instead of surreptitiously using Dave's to drive traffic to your commercial site. And I still think you are a liar and a fraud.

On and on he goes....

Bearcanada you posted this exact same comment in another thread so I will post my reply by quoting my reply in that thread.

I suggest that you spend less time on what I am doing and concentrate more on getting your facts straight. I note in particular your comments in this most recent post of yours about air tickets!!
