Since I am currently very wrap up in my personal affairs, this would probably
be my only response. Please don't be offended if I do not follow up any
of your articles in the future.

I hope you are not in the displine of science because your statement is
entirely unscientific. <Bad mouthing the guy, the guy no longer showed up>
----> <The guy was scared away>??? Maybe he was too busy with other stuff;
maybe he is preparing a response; maybe he no longer subscribe to this
group; maybe what he did was a prank call..... The possibilities are endless.
I just can't see how you can just declare yourself the winner.

Again, a totally unsubstantiated statement.

Disagree. A strong punch in the face is a show of strength. Knowing the
importance of not to bite a dog back after biten by a dog is, in my opinion,
also a show of strength. However, bad mouthing each other on a international
computer network which both party remain faceless and sometimes, in the
case of most chinese student here, even nameless that can lead to absolutely
no consequences at all is not a show of strength.

Vietnam government fight off the mighty american armies too. I say they
have a LOT to be ashamed of.
