If he's called a brainwashed fool, why isn't he allowed to throw in his criticism into the pot? If members are stating opinions, a chinese member should be allowed to correct those opinions with facts (*I am here to correct your misconceptions*)
Sir, I am always with you in whatever you say or do, so if you delete my post I have no problem at all with it. Like another moderator/administrator noted, he'd like more chinese users, I also want more chinese users. I also want them to STAY and be a part of WAB even after the Olympics is over. Its not like everyday we get to hear from the other side, I think we should welcome it. |
So that all may understand, even the new Chinese posters.
We are well aware that there is a concentrated campaign starting from anti-CNN to spam WAB. That is their ONLY intent. They are not here to discuss. They are here to dictate.
As you are well aware, WAB is dominated by soldier thinking, if not by airmen, soldiers, and sailors themselves. We do not appreciate people telling us how to think. After the last spam from people who do not even have the courtesy to communicate in English on an English forum, my tolerance for this horse puckey is at an end.
Be that as it may, we have not instituted mass banning and we will not. We are demanding, however, that new posters step up to the plate and provide VERIFIABLE FACTS instead of ad-homeni opinions. To say all 1.3 Billion Chinese support the cause is pure cow droppings. No one can point to a poll saying such things and we will not accept that as truth. We could and do accept the protests to French businesses in China as fact.
That being said, I am extremely disappointed in the lot of new Chinese posters. Very few have the convictions of their beliefs and fewer still are capable of having their convictions challenged.
I would like to thank the Brigadier who provided the bulk of the challenge to the new Chinese posters. Few stood up. Those who did are still here. Those who didn't are gone or on their way out.
Maybe if there was no campaign from anti-CNN, we would be a bit more flexible but we don't appreciate people who wants nothing more than to silence disagreement through shouting instead of facts.
And just an FYI, Mobme, I've also banned pro-Tibetan posters for exactly the same kind of thing.
