I don't know where the link for this is, but the text went something like.......

Would you like to join a new organization for ESL teachers in South Korea?

T.W.I.T. is short for 'Teachers with incredible talent'. This organization will aim to keep our 'profession' in existence for the rest of our working lives.

In short, we are an elaborate PR exercise. Unlike ATEK, we will endeavour to be as non-controversial as possible.

You must fufill the following criteria to join T.W.I.T.

1) Be a citizen of an English-speaking country.

2) Be unable to agree on anything, even if it will benefit us all.

3) Argue over everything, in order to demonstrate you are strong-willed and incredibly talented.

4) Use obscure/irritating phrases i.e. kudos, thanks for the heads up etc.

5) Have no common sense whatsoever and try to ruin anything which will benefit us all.

We will try our very best to be as bland and meaningless as possible. If it helps us to stay in a job until retirement, I'm sure you'd agree this will be a positive step forward for foreigners in South Korea.

Are you a twit? Laughing

No, not me! But go over to the "ATEK is officially on the run" thread and you will see a good many that are trying to persecute ATEK and ALL E-2 Visa holders who filed "petitions" with the Human Rights Commission of Korea against Immigration.

You've just discovered that, eh. He's been at that for a week or two now. We just learn to ignore him. Poor guy has some kind of mental problem.
