I'd probably add Captain Corea to my previous list as well. He's, in my opinion, much more balanced with his postings recently.

Seeing as just this week he has used swear words, derailed many threads with personal commentary not related to the topic and insulted other poster's religious beliefs (nohopeseriously) in a grandstanding way and advocated public vigalanteeism, I'd hate to see what his less balanced posts are like!

Let's be clear about something... I used the "s" word in a thread. Just like you did the other day. If it was so bad, perhaps you should check yourself.

NoHopeSeriously was spamming threads with religious beliefs AND PMing me to pray with him. I didn't insult his beliefs, I told him to stop pushing them on this forum - it's the rules.

As for the vigilante thing, we obviously have different views on the subject. I could quote here how you lied about me, called me names, and got personal at every turn... but, why bother.

Just figured I'd shed some light on your post here Wink

Kwangjuchicken. He is a million times more funny than Daffy Duck (and I love Dafy Duck).

The Captain is a genuine, straightforward poster.

Indeed he is!

Cosmic also deserves a mention, sorry I forgot to do so. I really enjoy his posts.

NYCGal2.0 as well as 1.0 is entertaining as well.

flakfizer and +1 for The Cosmic Hum. I like their sense of humor.

I like Steelrails in a general sense but when I do try to debate something with him, he pretends I don't exist.

Mr.BlackCat is a bit verbose but worth the read normally.

Stout's usually worth a read. crescent as well.

PaperTiger. But I know the guy in person. And barely ever get to see him.

Mind, I'm only referring to current posters. There were far more personalities here in the past.


Ha, you know PaperTiger too? Tell the big guy I said hey.


As to my favorites: Captain has recently become cool, but I remember a few years ago when he was just another apologist.

Bluelake continues to offer amazing insight. But I guess we'd all have a pretty good perspective on things if we came here in the early 80's too.

I enjoyed michaelgambling (sp?) just because of his outrageous posts. One week he was on about the best hookers in Itaewon and the next week he gets married to some random Korean girl. Man, we roasted him.

The Great Toad is another from back in the day.

ein07912 was interesting for a bit, got banned though.

northway I like

sojusucks is good if I ever need to know anything about Costco. Other than that, his posts are worthless.

MollyBloom is cool.

Steelrails only entertains me because he will twist and turn any way possible to find a way to spin everything Korea does as great and everything the West does as terrible. The king of apologists and probably a self-hating whitey.

I'm almost certain Steelrails is Gyopo.

There is a poster who has been in Korea for ages, his avatar is an old Asian guy smoking a pipe but can't remember his name, I liked his posts.

I also remember someone posting an anecdote about how when they first came to Korea (to a school in Mokpo I think back in the 70s), the school had to get them a boat ticket as they couldn't afford a flight. He said that the kids were waiting for him carrying red balloons. I loved that story but no idea who posted it. (On reading it back to myself it may very well be BS Razz ... Mad )

He's never made a secret of it as far as I'm aware. Why would he?

indeed 'a good thing.' Confused

is this a popularity contest message forum or an academic EFL off-topic message board? am i and others who r not mentioned on this thread in the wrong place or are a few of you whom are mods and in control of the postings having a xmas love fest and a pat-on-the-back orgy? huh? r u? Shocked
