What is so difficult to understand here?

I was first slighted by PJ when he called my advice "&^%$". Take a look at the following:

http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?t=10940

I did not react to his words, because his comments did not even hint toward any truth.

In this thread, I suggested that PJ has a history of not "getting it" which could be the cause for trouble repeatedly following him. If it is entirely untrue, why the emotional reaction?

BTW, It is not St. Austin, but Steve Austin. Eve would be upset, if you left her out!

If you want to work somewhere thats unlikely to close 2 months after you've started, avoid signing with small mom 'n pop shops and work with the big chain/franchises that've been around for a few years. they'll be the last to go down, and whats more they generally pay everything they owe you, on time, without hassles.

I resent your suggestion that I should be banned from this site. I never have used inappropriate language or been verbally abusive to any person on this site. On this thread, I merely pointed out that PJ has a history, as we all do.


Fair call about the banning. i apologise as i don't want to be the start of a flame war and it was a little below the belt.

If his employer truly thought PJ was an "excellent" teacher, why would his boss have fired him?


Maybe the hagwon is out of money. Sometimes people are fired through no fault of their own. if he is an excellent teacher then his previous employer should provide him with a glowing reference to make his job finding easier. Good luck PJ[/quote]

You are right Austin. He fired the first shot. My posts were un-called for. Embarassed I apologize.

Having just stumbled upon this thread, all I can say is:1. OP, you have my sympathy, but really, you can pretty well forget seeing the dough. 2. Somewhere up there, Mody Ba must be reading this thread and laughing his royal behind off. God bless ya, Bruce....

I simply couldn't believe my eyes. Austin writes "There's nothing worse than being falsely accused of something". Think, this is Austin writing here. Unbelievable. Talk about the kettle calling the pot black.

What a dufus.

So phillipjames comes across as saying: 'I couldn't believe that other people would disagree with me...Think you fools, this is someone we can all hate...I can't believe you're so stupid....' And then confusingly: 'He's as bad as me' and "What a dufus." Rolling Eyes

PJ has some good advice though:
1. http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?p=122154&highlight=#122154
2. http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?p=24736&highlight=#24736
3. http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?p=7694&highlight=#7694

but these are very good too:
http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?p=93678&highlight=#93678
http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?p=73956&highlight=#73956

and PJ's has some good quotes:
1. ."It's probably not unfair, moreover, to say that you're the most disrespected person on this board."
2. "Christ almighty. It's just too incompetent for words."
3. "You're sounding rediculous."
