If no one thinks your posts are interesting or useful that should tell you something. You're annoying and vapid...but you don't realize it. Looks like it is you who needs some self awareness.

God, your posts are terrible. Do you ever shut up? No, it has not been covered (not in any intelligent way at least). I'm getting dumber from reading the stuff you type.

Let me assure you WT, you had ZERO effect on my posting habits, on my posting content on on me. Put away the cape crusader and get back to reality.

Your obsession with so called apologists is interesting however. Why not just tolerate different opinions and viewpoints instead of trying to act like the websites self-appointed beat cop?

I love how you conveniently "forget" to target the so caller "haters" in your little crusade for civility on here and how you gloss over the fact YOU have insulted people often and have gone on rants when contradicted on one your opinion posts that makes grand sweeping conclusions about whatever social aspect you feel needs to be judged.

So WT, good luck out there and along with your crusader cape, you should really don a house sigil and perhaps carry a lance. Also, might I suggest you ask people here to call you SIR World traveler and that perhaps you choose one of the other posters here as your squire.

Good luck out there... Laughing

Zero effect? Are you sure about that? After I posted this, many (even most) of the people on this list (including you...and transmorgifier) suddenly started posting less. Documented posting histories confirm this.
http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?t=225223
I don't care if someone is an apologist as long as they are interesting and insightful (and civil) which you (and transmorgifier) are not. I like apologists like fustiancorduroy. He writes interesting information and doesn't bother with personal attacks. Do I insult people sometimes? Yes. If I have to to get them to shut up. You're trying to call me a hypocrite and you are referring to the prostitution thread, but if you look at what I wrote it was useful. Why? Because it got Tiger Fancini to shut up and stop posting here. I have used similar tactics with wishfulthinkng. If someone's posts consist mostly of insulting others, then they really aren't helping this message board. As for being a superhero, that's you, not me. Instead of focusing your time on raising your immigrant family in Canada, you wage valiant e-battles on this board. Maybe you should be awarded an e-medal for your efforts. By the looks of things, you are one of the top contenders for winning that contest.



Good grief, that link proves nothing.

WT, get a grip, you have ZERO effect on others here. This is a message board not your personal church of opinion.

By the way, you are the one who posted in here clearly attacking other posters and painting yourself as some sort of crusading knight poster out to clean things up.

You said to another that: I also said that because- unlike you- I have a life, I'm not going to search through all of your thousands of posts.

Yet you went and posted a link to other peoples posts to show a posting history.

Laughing


Now out of all the posters you accused from your high horse, which ones claimed they had a better job than you? I do not see any.

Also, none of them are the ones who posted in here to start accusing others.

Get back to reality WT, your input here is not meaningful in any sense. By the way, and before you get on your destrier again and the your pure white cloak...none of our postings are likely to have widespread impact either because..well...this is an online message board. So, please, go take a walk in the hills, get some fresh air and clear your head from all this non-sense you are posting in this thread.

By the way, calling other posters names (ex: scumbag) & questioning their intelligence while claiming your posts are polite of and good quality is pretty funny. Might have been a better tactic to accuse others of being insulting or not intelligent while avoiding to look that way yourself....just saying crusader, you should perhaps revise your campaign strategy.

If the sun gets a few degrees hotter, it's no big deal. If a glacier gets a few degrees cooler, it's no big deal. If a desert gains a few more grains of sand etc. etc.

You're annoying and you don't know what you're talking about (as usual). I used google. It took me seconds. (Why? Because I have a good memory.)

Serious question:

Why did you delete your accounts in 2008? Wasting too much time on Dave's? There had to have been a good reason. But now you are back on Dave's e-fighting and wasting your life away. Are you happy about that?

And what I said about people's post count going way down directly after I posted that is absolutely correct. It is true of many, including you. Posting history confirms that. If you want to call me a liar, well the burden of proof should be on you. (Of course, maybe it was all a coincidence...yeah right...and that was but one example...)

In 2012 you had 1,600 posts. In 2013 January 6th to February 5th you only had three posts. Maybe you were on vacation that whole month?

...Or...maybe you're an insecure loser who cares about his e-rep...or some other reason. You, madoka, and TheUrbanMyth always claimed it is the haters of Korea who post the most, which is not true at all. Maybe my posting taught you guys something new.


oh my...i see now that I miss judged you WT. You have issues, deep issues.

Please seek help.

Also the insults are not helping you WT, all they do is make you look bad and possibly mentally deranged.

However, here is a clue you little mad crusader: my posting depends on my free time. that time varies depending on work load, work trips, family commitments. When I have more free time, I post more...sorry to dissapoint you but you have absolutely no impact on my posting.

As for my posting history..all the info is out there WT, you are a good little Daves junior detective, look it up...it is all here in various postings. If you find the correct answer I will mail you a gold star you can post in your achievement booklet.

Ps I did not delete my accounts. I asked the site admin to deactivate them because at the time I had no intent to post again. Life intervened and slowly I started posting again...there that is a little clue for you to follow crusader... Laughing

So go waste another 10 seconds you super online crusader..and then claim we have no life! Christ this would be funny if you were not so sad to behold.

Golly gee World Traveler, you are starting to make me regret sending you that praise-filled pm. Are we still on for that meeting with Al Gore to discuss improvements for the internets?

Okay, World Traveller, I'm going to sleep soon, so I might not be on the computer for several hours. I just want to let you know that this time it is not because of you and your brilliantly astute posts. I genuinely need to sleep.

Just so you know.

Good grief, I've been accused of being bat-poop crazy and having too much time on my hands, but goodness gracious. At least I go crazy and waste time on posts arguing inconsequential debate point minutae, not insults.

Can't we argue over Koreans spitting for 10 pages rather than our personal peccadillos?

WT is clearly over-extending himself, but it's hard to deny that Patrick/Chris is possibly the most annoying poster on here. It makes no sense why he still posts here. I don't like the main apologists on here, they're mostly Canadian or of Korean heritage, and I think that's telling. Boring people from boring places or people with clear biases who aren't able to... mmm... "look in the mirror".

I just think Patrick/Chris is a supremely dorkish dude who wakes up gleefully to be able to spend the hour and half his wife allows him to post on here and throw condescending smiley faces randomly at "haters" of Korea. It seems that he only posts in the morning, Canadian time, for around an hour or so before the wife wakes up and sends him out the door.

I don't think WT had anything to do with "cleaning up" this pathetic website which is mostly just used by old men in (and outside of) Korea who don't know how to properly use the internet. That would be ridiculous. It's simply a case of this site slowly dying.

Tiger Fancini, honestly, why do you even post here? (No life?) How does insulting people benefit your life? I promise you this, if you ever insult me or anyone else, I will give it right back to you ten fold.


So, you insult someone, and then threaten to insult them more if they ever do what you just did?


You talk about "bullies" - perhaps you might want to look at your own posts.

Took a trip to Corpus Christi for a few days and come back to see this thread deteriorated. That's no surprise.

Good lord you people are petty.

I don't know; I think we answered your question pretty comprehensively. Who would pay for this nonsense?

Speaking of jerks, I've noticed there seems to be fewer on this site than in times past. I stopped lurking on the site a couple years ago, but have recently started up again. Of course there is still the usual bickering between apologists and haters, but it doesn't seem quite as hostile as it once was.

I made a great effort to get rid of the jerks. If they insulted people with really low blows I insulted them right back. That's what one has to do to deal with bullies. Anyone noticed how madoka doesn't post on here anymore? He was a really impolite person. And he spent loads of time on here insulting people for many years. But now he is finally gone. Next, alongway (although he occasionally posted something useful) was mostly being rude. I called him out as the sock of crossmr. Afraid to get perma banned he suddenly stopped using low blows and his posting frequency went way down. PatrickGHBusan has become less rude than before. (Maybe because his friends aren't here to defend him and because people starting insulting him back.) There are others like Tiger Fancini and many more who have mostly stopped posting here. TheUrbanMyth posts less than before. (People have started to give it right back to him when he acts nasty.) In my opinion the apologists are (were) the rudest (and most vapid) posters on here. Also, they were the people who posted the most. You are right- the board is much more civil than before.


Do you see what you did here, WT? I made a harmless (and evidently wrong) observation about the civility of the boards lately and you took that as an opportunity to engage in the type of behavoir I had been referring to, while trying to make yourself out to be the good guy.
