To SCV netters,

Ok, enough about racial thing, I'll bring up an overlooked
but very important aspect in humanity.

About Luyen's death, we must not tolerate the the act of many
attacking one, especially when one is defenseless.  We (the society)
must feel ashame of ourselves for the cowardice in the failure
of intervention (stopping the acting).  There is a time to say,
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

---------------------------------------------------------------
What have we seen on SCV (left alone the Vietnamse culture
and populace)?  How many times you see the 'gang beating'
on SCV?  Let me name a few from the top of my mind:
                       ^^^
     1.  Tung@Apple.
     2.  Dave Korr.
     3.  LTV.
     4.  And myself, Longan.

As for case #1, the guy was history.  We could consider him 'dead'
in the illusion of SCV world.  Case #2, #3 the victims were
serverely main but still alive but seemed to limber along bitterly.
As for my own case (#4), the more beating I took, the longer I
planned to stay on SCV realizing I need to 'work' with my own kind
and fixing A LOT OF PROBLEM.  In short I care a little more.

(Note:  I am supposed to have a logic vest to filter out insults.
However, I admit that my emotion was getting brushed up at times.
THAT'S BECAUSE EVERY STUPID ACTS COUNTED AND CONFIRMED AND ILLUSTRATED
THE MENTALITY OF THE VIETNAMESE.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Back to the main point (many attaking one), one might retort:  On
SCV, it's just words and words, does it matter?

DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

To answer that, let's ask, "What is in it for any netter on SCV?"
In particular, people who wants to seek friendships, girlfriend, 
boyfriend... would obviously want to save face 'cause it ain't looking 
good during those gathering.

(Just curious, don't you people have enough friends at your local and 
have extra time for long distance friends?  I found this long distance 
bussiness very impractical.)

How about I post my reason (motive) of being on SCV after I post the 
plan to save VN?  Warning, intense flame might errupt and please no
more GOD DAMNED COMMUNIST HAT OK?  I cursed on those who play on other
people's lives.

Reputation can be rebuilt.  Life can not.

To demonstrate "IT REALLY MATTER" (in a way), I pick out Chris Chu
as the guinea pig (for beating) with two reasons:

     1.  I believe this netter is very much after his fame on SCV.
     2.  It has been recorded CC attacked another netter during a
           'gang beat'.  The netter has silenced but the his beating
           kept going on.  In summary, during July 92 gang beat:

     Netter 1:  Addressed netter 2.
     Netter 2:  Readdressed netter 1.
     Netter 3:  Addressed netter 2.
     Chris Chu: Addressed netter 2.
     Netter 4:  Addressed netter 2.
     Chris Chu: Addressed netter 2 again.
