Hello! Mates,

Encik Oatman, you are the only greatest "composer" I have ever seen in my life.
The best and the most perfect example is the title named, sc.taiwan worse
(Re:suggestion to sca)

As one can easily see, you are really extremely capable of doing such an
incredible task. What the articles in your post are all about? They are 
simply some suggestions, some ideas that people thought of. As a whole,
they are very likely to be considered as "opinions". You may say nothing,
if you feel don't like them. Why keep on "attacking" people's words? 
I can't find the point why you did that. If you said you were not doing
it seriously, then why writing them in such a "criticisive" way? This is
ridiculous! This is something like, I am not forcing you to make a decision,
but what is the point if I keep on asking you, `Have you made up your mind,
yet?'  So, obviously, this doesn't make sense. Hope you can get it.  

There is one phrase for this kind of situation,

                      "Yes!", From your mouth, 
                  BUT  "No!", In your heart.

Don't you think your mouth is "against" your mind? Try to look back to what
you did. Maybe you may see something which you didn't "see" last time when 
you read them.

      "The best way to learn about (yourself) is to look back to your life."

Also, I "enjoy" the great talent you have in you, especially in "composing" up 
those "complete" and "perfect" stories. But remember my friend, if you don't
mean to be so serious, then don't make people to feel that you are a serious
man. This is the way I feel upon your attitude, you are serious, but faithful.
I reckon, honest too.

The only way we can get to know each other is through speech, but in this case
through writing instead. So make your articles a bit "un-serious" in order to 
give people an idea, how easy going a person you are. I am not a serious person,
either. It happened very often, most of my friends did not believe in me, even
though I was very serious in attitude. Just imagine how un-serious I am. And I 
don't think my words are very impolite. If existed, I would have mentioned, at
the beginning/end of the articles, at least something like I would like to beg
for your pardon. If I didn't, please tell/scold/yell at me so that I know what
is wrong with my previous postings. And hopefully you may accept my apology 
right now. Also I might be able to learn something new.

Any criticisms will be accepted with open-mind, BUT be sensible. Thanks!

One little last thing, actually it's also undeniable that you have quite a lot
of excellent postings. One reason is because you have typed so many. Of course,
the main reason is not exactly that. One of your great postings is the one you 
recently replied to the ASEAN. That is what supposed to be. You copied down the 
whole question and follewed by your words. Not like before, only part of the 
article was being extracted, and added with your comments.

The more correct way to point out that you were not quite right should be like 
this:  
     Sometimes people might say something which are definitely sensitive at the
     beginning of their articles. However the main content is not on that. The 
     most important thing is based on what they really say IN the articles. 
So,
     the way you extracted words from people's postings, might mislead some 
     readers, particularly the ones who first read them, knowing nothing about
     what had happened before these.

Anyone knows, why there were no doctors in the past?
Because the ancient people believed in gods.
