I've been known to make jokes that aren't very funny. Sometimes I go overboard. It doesn't matter anymore what I've posted trying to get a laugh, the fact is that I've violated the TOS on more than one occasion and I should've kept my trap shut.

I was wrong.

I also want you guys to know that I never hold grudges against anyone.

So if I've offended you personally with my crude words, or offhanded comments - I apologize. Sincerely.

Cheers and have a good night.

Ya never stabbed me.

Sic sense of humor is a good sense of humor to me. Irrational personal attacks may be another story, but a funny comment, no big deal to me.

Some times people take out their anger on here. Some times that funny comment sets off the wrong person who can�t fight back well against the insults their students hurl at them all day. So they get crazy about stuff they read in their safety world.

I have a feeling something major is changing on this site as I haven�t been able to access it properly for days and many people who fall into the same category are being knocked off.

Also the WAP thread died. ????
In my opinion if you read that and took it for what it was worth it was a better into to Korean culture than many of the official introductions.
Read the silly WAP post > ask yourself why > discover why > learn and remember.

I made a few of my posts there from the US reflecting on my experiences in Japan, and from the things I discovered trying to figure out what other WAP posts were about.

A person who met me here in Korea said �I really couldn�t tell if you had been to Korea before or not.� I hadn�t but thanks to some of the negative posts and the actions of the offensive posters I was able to find out many of the things critical to survival here.
This status can change any second, I know, but my point is that it would have been much different so far.

It�s been a short time but I was already to make it through the opinion phase of the school indoc successfully. I went straight for the director, make friends with him and life is better. Pay on time, hours set, free extra fan, etc. If I hadn�t read those things that were made by violators then I would have played it humble, or been too demanding.

That evil humor is a necessary balance to the extremes of positive or negative.
It�s the Jiminy Cricket of the internet at times.

(EDIT): If you get kicked can I have your avitar? They wont give me one even though many of the old ones violate TOS...
