Hadn't some netter told me that a netter responded my post on s.c.c.,
but not on s.c.t., I wouldn't know that there can be such a good way to
flame people without being flamed back. Come on, Mr./Ms. 90908648. Be a
responsible person and crawl out of the rock you are hiding under. It's
low to attack people on the back. Haven't your parents told you so?

(I apologize to the other netters for my flame above. Couldn't hold my
temper when I know 90908648 attacked me on s.c.c., which people from
Taiwan usually don't subscribe.)

I have to explain why I responded to Chunde Shi in such way. Shi has posted
a lot on s.c.t. criticizing Taiwan's people and government. Most of his
arguments are just pure flame. (Interested s.c.c netters may check out his
posts and people's response on s.c.t.) And he also has a sour-grape mentality
towards Taiwan's accomplishment. While most people in Taiwan are happy to
know China is doing well economically these years, Chunde Shi seems very
unhappy at what Taiwan has achieved. For a diehard CCP-supporter like Shi,
everything related to Taiwan is always negative and he thinks his flame can
make him happier. Actually, we shouldn't care what he thinks about Taiwan,
after we know he just wants to criticize for nothing.

I don't think it has anything to do with confidence when we tell people
about the Republic of China. It's like hanging national flags on the street.
Once from the International Channel on TV, I heard China's official talking
about China's economic fly. Both sides now keep talking about their
economic achievement, and this isn't lack of confidence. When my advisor
seeks for for research funds, he keeps telling the funding agency what we
have done and what we can do in the future. And most important of all,
he never forgets to tell our reasearch institute's name. Similarly, this
is also not lack of confidence. Marketing, maybe.

The name of our country is not tedious to me. We won't shut our mouth up
simply because some CCP-supporters feel tedious. If Chunde Shi feels
uncomfortable, why doesn't he shut off the radio? (Just like I don't like
most CCP-supporting arguments, so I don't subscribe s.c.c.)

And please, keep your response to my post available on s.c.t. as well as
s.c.c.
