This forum really needs a regular nutball who would have sort of completely off the wall explanation or response. Not a moderate along the apologist-basher spectrum, but an anarchist or a monarchist or a cultist.

The closest thing I could think of would be a Zackback post.


He was called mysteriousdeltarays and Zackarooni doesn't hold a candle to what mdr would post. Those were the days. /olfart

I did a username search and saw such thread topics as Freemasonry and wondering if one was developing scurvy.

We need more tinpot types (not Korea conspiracy basherism, but genuine nutball stuff) or people who are on a permanent acid trip. I am slowly growing weary of the usual run around and would enjoy more offbeat stuff.

Like a poster that is borderline incoherent with a writing style that barely follows rules of English.

You want to discuss something (about Korea or anywhere else for that matter) with me then drop the sweeping statements, the absolutes and the anecdotal blown up into artificial generalist conclusions. You are (from what I can read here) intelligent and able to discuss something so do it.


Several people wanted to discuss the question of why you blatantly accused people of lying about the story of the Korean teacher who was removed to protect her from the NETs but (as usual) you decided to avoid the real issues to deliver yet more bland platitudes. You really are becoming a first class bore

Sorry Ed but I accused no one of lying. that is your fabrication.

I was wondering how long it would take you to respond this way. It took less time than I expected.

Discussing work place interaction and the idea that Korean women are somehow "removed" from the presence of FTs seems to be the broad threat topic Ed, I am discussing that.



To help you out and make it clear here is my position on each item being discussed (said so in the thread already but you seem to have missed it)

1- Co-workers who ignore others in workplace is a normal thing. It is rude and odd at times but it is pretty normal for your avg workplace. People (in my opinion) need to grow a thicker skin and realize this is pretty small fry stuff.

2- Korean women being removed from the presence of FTs is to me a hilarious idea (my opinion). Some people disagree, this is fine.

Care to participate with a discussion response (ie by making points instead of insults) or will you just call me names instead?

You said this about Robbie Davis' 'true story' are you now trying to claim that you didn't mean to suggest that he was lying?

As a side note: the comments made about Korean women being removed from the presence of FTs to keep them pure or safe was one of the most ridiculous things I have had the misfortune of reading on here in years. It would make good comedy if only it was meant as such...


And please avoid comments like this in the future

It really is playground standard and makes you look foolish. I wouldn't mention it normally but you've done it before and it's getting tedious

Because you don't believe it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. I understand you never experienced something like that but because you didn't doesn't mean nobody else did either.

I don't have a vested interest in upholding or demolishing the status of Korea as a foreigner friendly place where logic reigns. I can only report on what happened to me.

That was my first thought! He was by no means a tinpot type, but his writing definitely barely followed the rules of English. What ever happened to him?

Gwangju Chicken was a bit of a nut. Although I think he carefully crafted that image.
