For your reference, I attached the conversations between Du Shi-hua Heath 
and the guy who uses name "Republic of Taiwan" in the end of this mesaage. 
Du Shi-hua Heath seems to be displeased with this guy's behavior. The 
following is my reply to Du Shi-hua Heath:

Shi-hua, 

I guess you are not a regular reader to this newsgroup. I have been reading 
this newsgroup for three weeks and have understood the writing style of this 
guy. He is a very "productive" writer. He will "bark and bite" to anyone who 
has different opinion from his on the Taiwan issue. He even bit his people
if the opinion did not fit in his mind. In his mind, Taiwan has been an 
independent country for hundred years (I never figure out how he got this 
number but guess he means under Qing dynasty, Japan colony and now ROC). 
He also created a little wonder land "Republic of Kailan" (or "Republic of 
Taiwan") for himself and will send tax bill to whoever disagrees with him 
(I received one last week). When you express your opinion about Taiwan but 
dont want his bite, then there are several things you have to be awared (I 
did not make up the following, if you have time read messages past two or 
three weeks):

1. Dont speak Mandarin, he called Mandarin-speaking people as "barbarians".
   English should be OK, because this guy needs to speak English for living.
2. If you are from Taiwan, dont even think the claim of Mainland, Tibet, 
   etc places. If you do, he will send you to those places. Ther is no 
   freedom of thinking in this topic in his mind. 
3. Dont claim you are WSR (mainlanders came to Taiwan after 1949). He had
   suggested Holo and Haka (older immigrants from the Mainland, ie., 
   commonly called Taiwanese) to hate WSR.
4. If you think you can not bear with above rules then you may have to be 
   reader only or ask anything but Taiwan. 

Otherwise, you may have to be prepared for his bite. After biting, you can 
either ignore (as many people do) or be tough on this guy but with a sense 
of humor, never take him seriously. Because his purpose is to write anything 
to irritate whoever disagree with him and rudeness or non-sense is not his
concern. He wants you to get angry that is how he degrades (quote from his 
word) people. His writing tactics is as follows:

1. He will bite if you write something not fit in his mind.
2. If you reply with scolding he will either repeat what you said and send
   back to you or repost same message again until you give up.

Most people enter the message with their real time and feel some responsibility 
for their opinion but this guy uses "ROT" so that he can hide at the corner
to attack people and no one knows who he really is after all. You think he 
is a coward but dont expect he cares.

He has bitten many people past three weeks, you are a new victim but certainly
not the last one. After writing this, I am expecting for his bite. He have 
not bit me for two days. :-) (He reminds me the movie "Silence of Lambs",
Hmmmm, Now I am wondering how he is going to bite me this time. :-) )

Most important, dont take a clown seriously or be angry with a mad man. 
If so, you will fall into his trap.

Hopefully you can feel better now.
