Do they have these in Seoul? I kind of doubt it. I'd like to find one.

I think most posters here would like to physically assault Princess...but not sexually.

So did princess's Rapist thread get pulled? Can't find it on the board. Anyway, guys (gals) I think in lieu of the situation that in spite of the complete tard that princess has been we should probably throw her some slack. I can find no evidence to suggest that she is making any of this up. If indeed this is the case she is pretty messed up and very vulnerable now. I would hate to see something like a repeat of the Shawn Matthew's incident just because a few posters felt it necessary to get shots in while she was down. Sometimes we forget that there are real people behind all the psuedonyms that lurk around here. Princess could in fact just be a mask of someone who in real life could be a friend or acquaintence. If indeed she needs help as a fellow human being she is entitled to it and if so we need to leave her alone in that regard.

but are there not hundreds of people who a real person could find this information from? dozens of numbers? a handful of friends? A distraught person uses the internet as a last resort. look at online suicides. they take place over a period of several days. As SOON as one thread goes away, it is replaced by another. logic dictates...emotions follow.

Princess, if you really want help I would suggest going to the Seoul Adventist Hospital. There are English speaking staff there and they might even have someone on staff who can assist you. If not they will be able to direct you to the help you need.

All I am saying is that hammering a poster whose being a tool is one thing. Kicking someone after something of this nature has been made known is entirely another. We are all entitled to our opinions and such but I for one would not want to be a poster who logged on and found out that princess had done something harmful to herself after I jumped on the bandwagon and posted a hateful comment to her. If it happened spontaneous without warning thats one thing - you couldn't have seen it coming. But she has reached out for help and I think if people are not willing to help her then they should refrain from posting vengeful comments. I am not attacking you but I think in the spirit of maintaining the integrity of the forums that this thread should not turn into a hatefest. Princess is down now thats evident and that should be enough.

Shawn Matthews was a well known ESL teacher who had worked in Korea(because of his popular blog) who suffered from numerous emotional troubles. He jumped from a building in Beijing China killing himself (May 2006). At the time of his death Shawn and his former girlfriends were being maliciously harrassed by some ESL teachers in korea. they were apparently crahing his blog and calling his GFs and his current employer and saying some pretty nasty stuff about him.

Man, some of you are being a bit harsh. You remind me of the girl on here who was blasting the teacher who contracted H.I.V.

Unless there's another one, the teacher you're referring to just turned out to be Kevin Gesler.
