When I first read VanIslander's post saying Koreans shouldn't be allowed to post here I, as pretty much everyone else, thought he was nuts. Perhaps he was on to something, though. The last few weeks or months here, things are getting stupid. So many Koreans, or American-Koreans, seem to come on and completely ruin this place. Now, I'm all for helpful, well balanced, not overly sensitive Korean Americans being here and offering their insights (I know there's some cool ones here), but the rash of angry Korean/Kor-Amer. posters is getting a bit nuts. They take things here way too seriously and really bring down this site.

But then again, maybe things are going downhill cuz there's too many angry foreigners/socks with too much time on their hands. Who knows.

Maybe, Maybe not.

Trollish idiot posts from anyone regardless of nationality suck donkey balls.

I'm still somewhat steamed over what a now banned Korean poster said to me, so I can't be super objective.

Seen far more mindless trolls on this forum by non koreans than by koreans. Besides, what would be the points of us ranting about the downs and downs of life in korea on a board that is closed off to koreans?

Oh, yeah...

Someone would have to hunt down Vanislander's original thread but he meant Koreans not involved in ESL in any teaching capacity what so ever...But I could be wrong....
