The president suggested that if I have strong opinions on the subject, I should write about it in an academic paper or hold a seminar rather than broadcasting it over the Internet. I agreed to do that even though I do not think anyone would take a non-historian seriously. Therefore, I will not be posting anymore about �Dokdo� on this site. People who would like to continue to exchange information on the subject can still contact me through my email address.

Amazing� you can be an Internet journalist and post a whole series of obnoxious, racist crap, not to mention the kind of stuff you see posted about Japan on a regular basis. But if you post intelligent, well-reason discourse on Dokdo, you�d better be prepared to pay with your job.

I don't agree with this:

Ever see whenever China and Korea, or China and Japan have an argument over a piece of land or a piece of history? They each assemble teams of historians, that coincidentally have the same opinion as the government. Then they assemble reams of documents to support the conclusion they already came to a long time ago. Those are the people I don't take seriously. *beep* those 'historians'.
