At this point CC, I'm forced to question your intelligence. I'm being serious. I know in doing so you'll start whining about the TOS. But in this case, I feel I have to go there because I just posted a very clear paragraph that addresses all your issues. Every time I write A, you see B. You're a college grad for pete's sake.

In light of the challenge you seem to be facing, I will use point form:
1. Never in this thread did I recommend he try to get a job here.
2. Never in this thread did I suggest it would be easy to get a job here. I said the opposite more than once.
3. Never in this thread did I suggest there was a wealth of opportunity.
4. Never in this thread did I create an elaborate plan for him to find work.

Your replies suggest you have either intentionally chosen to strive for new lows of dishonesty in putting words in my mouth, or you are borderline illiterate. Are you embarrassed and want the thread nuked, or are you convinced you have something to win here?

If you would like to continue this "I said, you said" garbage, lets go to PM. I know this will be difficult for you to do because you need to look like the man of authority around here, but this thread has become sadly more about you now.

Regarding a list of foreign construction companies operating here: That is entirely possible for me to provide. I have spent the last 4-5 years researching, planning, designing, and building my own home here. In that time I came across a half dozen or so foreign firms that specialize in log or wood frame residential work abroad.
Now, would I be willing to go through the mess of contacts and info I gathered over that time just to prove to YOU that I know what I'm talking about?
Hell no. This is torture enough.

However, would I provide that info to the OP directly? I have already PMd him with the offer.

You, CC: you can kindly take your gigantic ego elsewhere and cool it off.

Glad to hear you're trying to help the guy out.

Let's hope it works.

Next time, leave your ego out of it.

Apology accepted. Hope you find help as well for your own difficulties, and some originality to boot.

Not always. You, and Steelrails have a way of dancing around an argument and weaving in too much of your own imagination, that it often spurs such a response from more posters than just myself.
Chalk it up to frustration dealing with people who are so sure of themselves and what they think they know, they are unwilling to admit otherwise. Years of reading the pompous tones in your posts can have that affect on some people.

So, regarding aspects of intelligence and disposition, I think the evidence stands for itself on this thread.
In fact, the evidence keeps building. I, in fact, did begin by quoting you directly. And, just as you offered personal anecdotal evidence from your 'friend' to back up your claim (which I don't believe), I offered my own extensive personal experience to back up my claim. Posters like yourself have these special rules they demand others follow, yet you somehow feel they don't apply to you.

I made my position crystal clear on a multitude of posts, yet you chose to see what you want to see, and blow the argument up into something it isn't. What do you expect?

If not your comprehension skills, should I instead be questioning your honesty? Is being wrong so difficult for you to admit that you need to put so many words in my mouth? Isn't that personal?

I mean, if you were truly concerned with helping this guy, you could have easily taken this thing to PMs as I suggested. No, you can't do that. What help is this to anyone?

Captain Corea · Joined: 28 Feb 2005 Location: Seoul

Yet you keep on keeping on, don't you?

Blame it on me, or steelrails, or the other posters that said what the Op wanted to do was not realistic... but in the end, it you that keeps it going by making it personal.

crescent · Joined: 15 Jan 2003 Location: yes.

I, in no way suggested, implied, or stated that it would be realistic. This is now the third or fourth time I have repeated that and you continue to invent.

So, is questioning your skills, or honesty just getting personal, or is it based on evidence?

How about those PMs? Still want to help this guy?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't forums such as these for sharing one's knowledge and experience? You do an awful lot of it here. You also do an awful lot of correcting others. You're one of the most pedantic posters here! Who the hoot are you to tell me what is valuable and what is not? Priceless! See what I mean about the ego?

What am I right about? Again, you need to go back to my first post and review. See what I mean about comprehension?

As far as not letting this go, it think for you it must be really frustrating because of your own need for the last word. Do you need evidence of that? USe the search function. Remember the PM suggestion I made?
All it takes is one person to go first, yet you insist on going in circles blaming me.

Captain Corea · Joined: 28 Feb 2005 Location: Seoul

I've yet to receive any PMs from you, and you keep yabbering on in this thread. So if you want to talk in private, do so.

I have no desire to chat with you via PM, because I really don't see what you've added here. Your insistence on the smallest of possibilities is what it is. If that the sort of advice you want to give this guy, so be it.

I hope he reads the other responses in this thread that counter that.

Good luck, OP. And try to ignore this useless banter. lol

crescent · Joined: 15 Jan 2003 Location: yes.

What YOU think I've added is again, not important. I shared what i know just as you or anyone else does. How many of your thousands of posts highlighted something useful? How many were just correcting others?
It's important to someone in the position, and it may be useful to someone. You are no authority on that no matter what you think you know and how important you think you are.

I made an innocent correction. I'm sorry you can't deal with that. It's the real reason why you can't take my offer and go to PM. I'm happy to keep you on display if thats what you want.

"Keep me on display" ??

Good to know the true mentality and motivation of your posting.

/shakeshead

crescent · Joined: 15 Jan 2003 Location: yes.

It's not exactly my 'motivation'. Mostly it's been a continuous exercise in editing your assumptions and erroneous info and misrepresentation on some facts as well as things you claimed I said.

In the end you do what you want. What's your motivation exactly?

Can you guy stop it?

It's true that there is a very slim avenue through which he could find an international company based in the USA that could make him work in Korea. But at the same time it is so utterly unlikely that he would get in and be sent to Korea around the same time his girlfriend would that this is effectively not much of an option.
