Basher and Apologist...both idiotic terms.

Some people on here do come on to vent and do engage in pretty disgusting bashing, all too often with a healthy dose of racism thrown in.

Such is life on an online board....

I call BS on this one.

I've experienced a range of reactions from the typical over-reaction of praise to indifference. I've never experienced annoyance.

BackRow, can you please describe how the situation went when you knew too much Korean and the person you were talking with became annoyed.

I agree with Gino here...that "Koreans get offended if you (as a foreigner) know too much Korean" thing is pure BS.
