"Excuse me...where do you get off accusing me of something when you have been on this thread for three days and have virtually no knowledge of who I am?"
Trejek, your an open book not an enigma. I read some of your past posts the first time that you responded to one of mine.
"Really...you know nothing about me but you make the same kind of assumptions that you have chastized me for up above......and unlike you, I have said nothing about my background."
I made that assumption because if you did have any military experience in the Asian theater your views would be more realistic. Why don't you enlighten us about your back ground? Your profile and the fact that you use an alias, (or is that your first or last name?), indicates that you aren't willing to tell anything about yourself. If you did it might lend more credibility to your posts. On the other hand........
"You mean you managed to see my post with the criticism but still managed to miss the posts by two people who know the Chinese culture because of their ethnicity and who were questioning the conclusions of the so called China experts on the thread..the ones who have "spent a good chunk of their lives in Asia"."
Again, I wasn't aware that the persons you speak of addressed a response to one of my posts. I didn't know that it was mandatory to respond to posts either.
"Oh wait, I get it...you have selective post reading...its similar to those people who have selective hearing.....you only read what you want to hear."
I'm supposed to respond to this? I don't live my entire life on SI and can not afford to spend all my time posting nor do I have the time to read every post on every thread that I've ever posted on.
"And let me repeat, don't ever question my loyalty to the US....you are in no position to make such an evaluation nor is it your position to do so."
I never questioned your loyalty to the US. Honestly, the question of your loyalty never entered my mind when I made that post, it was intended to be humorous. You've never made any posts that could be construed as disloyal either. I merely pointed out that you and Scumbria were very good at propaganda, the fact that I said that you could land a good job doing that in China........Well, they are the best at it aren't they? After all, you guys are world class.
Tejek, what difference does it make how many days that I've been on this thread. I consider that totally irrelevant.
In parting let me just say this about Scumbria. Although I disagree with 99.9% of his/her opinions on the posts that I've read, it would be a sin if he/she was booted from SI for voicing them. |
