Q: So you think I'm Chinese?

I am hoping this challenge will put an end to this repeated stupidity once and for all. I'm totally hacked off with being called a liar, so I am going to do something most people (myself included) usually say never do. I'm going to give out my personal details on an internet forum.

 

This is aimed particulary at Crimo who is constantly saying I (and others) are actually Chinese, but the offer is open to any others who think the same.

 

IM me and I'll give you my FB link, you can message me there and I'll call you some names, what is more I'll link to what I say here. Further you can message (on FB) my friends to confirm I'm not Chinese. The FB account is several years old and pre-dates both my time in China AND my time on this site.

 

I won't send that link to any anonymous posters or any 'new' posters, (I'm not THAT stupid), only to the regular posters here.  I will only be able to do this in the evening as I don't have a VPN at work and I'll need that to link to my FB account.

 

Hopefully, this will put an end to these constant snide inferences, that MOST posters have long ago accepted were false.

"Hacked off"? Only my Chinese students use that expression (Crazy English - two years ago). All Chinese students have a FB account, so that's no proof.

 

Skill Testing Question #1: when you are being intimate with your girlfriend, does she say:

A) Is it in yet?

B) What was that, a spoon?

C) For the love of God, I've been stabbed with a sword!

D) What girlfriend? My parents won't let me have one.

 

Skill Testing Question #2: what do you really care what other online users think of you?

A) Nothing - not worth worrying about...I have beer to drink.

B) Everything! Face very important!

C) I'm naturally insecure (read: British) and so I must prove myself to others.

D) I'm totally insecure online but a total prick in real life (read: French) and therefore I must challenge you to an online duel (fought by my father as I have a cold and cannot leave the house).

 

Why do you bother? Why did I bother to respond (hint: I have beer to drink, hence, Canadian and I wouldn't give a rat's tookus what other users thought of me).

 

Sokie:

Not all Chinese students have FB. I am one of the Chinese students, I don't have FB.  I have 26 classmates, only two of them have FB.

I am just saying the truth, thedude. We English majors were advised to use FB to  make foreign friends, so that we can practice English with them. Even we were  told to use it, we still don't do it because it's blocked.  We know how to jump the firewall to get through it, but still we don't want it. So, those who are not English majors, I wonder how many of them know what FB is.

Dont do it, and dont worry about what some think on here.

The ones that you are hoping to prove this to will probably not take you up on this anyway.

Just let them quarrel and bicker between themselves, and you just sit back and watch and laugh.

Thank you, you're probably correct, time will see.

Hello Crimo,

 

The way I see things here, is quite simple.

 

It is perceived by many, and I am certainly one of them, that you and the 'usual suspects' are and have been, for quite some time now, intent on keeping echinacities as your own private little fiefdom, your own little play thing, a place where you control the (criticism) agenda and where you can ridicule to your heart's content. Anybody who challenges, too harshly, or even slightly, your notions that China is full of ignorant, racist, backward people, you will vilify and ridicule to the point where they decide enough is enough and leave. You and your mates will then remain, to cosily control all comment about China, which of course is usually full of your own hate, pettiness, implied criticism, bullying and often times, jealousy. Or whatever is decided to be flavour of the month by those who control you. (mirror)

 

It's obvious to many of us that over the years you and your colleagues, (the usual suspects) have developed and honed your tactics and skills to the point where it is easy pickings to dispose of a lone individual who disagrees with your collective hate and bile. Your cosy little 'spin' and win environment.

 

Then out of the blue come three distinctly individual British 'blokes', who seem to you, to be connected in some way. (The Chinese Connection!!!!, dan dan dan). The fact that we don't know each other from Adam, and in all probability would not want to know each other (“she who shall not be named”) but, that we seem to get along reasonably well with each other and hold roughly the same views about China, is causing you and your cosy cronies to be flummoxed and decide that this is a chinese government plot to destroy the United States of America, well this tiny part of it at least. (humour) Just as you think you know that some of your people are american, we certainly know our britishness by our unique ability to laugh at ourselves and, because you know nothing about humour you immediately latch on to the paranoid thought that we are chinese and out to destroy you, not that it makes any bloody difference where we come from. I could be from Timbuktu for all that it matters. It is completely irrelevant, unlike the fact that you have an agenda to bully and intimidate anybody who disagrees with your distorted and hostile view of the Peoples' Republic of China.

 

So you all get together and decide to employ the usual tactics used by you and the 'usual suspects' over the years - 'We'll call them Chinese imposters, that usually does the trick, we'll insult them with our violent and disrespectful comments, that usually does the trick', we'll call them liars, that usually does the trick ', and if all else fails, we'll ignore them. But, sadly for you and your 'mates', these tactics don't seem to be 'doing the trick' this time.

'These bastards will not go away, they are spoiling our fun, they're criticising us, of all people, and not criticising the Chinese, what's wrong with them, they must be faggots, who's this fucking guy with the fucking mirror, who are the two articulate 'limies', with their cogent and strange funny answers to our pathetic little attempts to discredit them, there's something wrong here, what shall we do? ' 'This isn't in the script that we were given by our masters.' (perhaps a little dry humour here, or not as the case may be)

 

'We'll have to get them banned, after all, the admin people are our compatriots, and they run echinacities, they must understand exactly where we're coming from.' Small problem, this current admin person is not the tame little pussy that we used to get along so cosily with, this one is a little more 'fair and honest' when it comes to settling issues, this one can see through our pathetic attempts to discredit these whining freaks, not such an easy pushover.' 'Why isn't he/she keeping to the script?'

 

'What are we going to do?' 'We must get rid of these people before they destroy our cosy little nest and spoil our fun'

 

'I know, we'll rally the troops, after all we are all citizens of the great United States of America plus a few hangers on and no matter how unjustifiable our cause, we, the citizens of the great United States of America, plus our wonderful allies will always stick together and prevail'. 'I'll just give my fellow citizens a load of old bull about these imposters being Chinese imposters and my fellow countrymen will follow me to the ends of the earth, no matter what the truth is.' (Vietnam, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Grenada, Columbia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kuwait, take your pick, there are many more.)

 

We both know that there are some of your fellow countrymen who can see beyond your spin and paranoia. I have a large number of United States' friends, I'm sure you do too, who feel very ashamed and embarrassed by your attitude. You don't appear to be a very good advertisement for the United States of America, but I know that with your attitude being the way it is you're probably not really going to 'give a shit' anyway. It's people like you who give your country a bad name. Constantly spouting “I am who I am and that's the way I am, get used to it, I'm not accountable to anyone” eventually morphs into “we (USA) are who we are and that's the way it is, get used to it, we, (USA) are not accountable to anyone”.

 

You have no excuse, you are also a representative of your country whether you like it or not.. I understand, that in your passport your government does suggest or request that all holders of a United States' passport (a privilege and an honour, I'm sure you will agree), should conduct themselves in a manner that reflects the great nation that is the United States of America. How the hell did you get a passport? I wonder if it can be revoked?

 

There is happily, the majority of people here who prefer to look at China with an open mind, who see the faults, and yes, there are a lot of them, as in most countries around the world. There are decent people here who are prepared to give China and it's decent people the benefit of the doubt in their quest to see a vibrant, happy and prosperous nation grow responsibly and become an asset to the World Community. (another topic for another day perhaps). They are decent people who see your constant implied, often hostile criticism and negative spin to be unhealthy, unreasonable, unnecessary and rude. These people and China will prevail. You will end up like so many of your compatriots, chasing ' terrorist ghosts' and 'reds under the bed' until you pop off this mortal coil. It is your 'democratic' right to think and do what you like of course, you have the freedom to choose, just like us in the UK, incidentally, we have the even greater freedom and the right not to have nor carry personal identity cards in our own country. (good old her, who's name shall not be spoken). British humour.

 

I hope that you are able to read this carefully and not 'get your knickers in a twist', jump too soon to any conclusions and most importantly not 'nit pick', please try to read it intelligently and fairly. You will of course take the piss and use offensive language and attempt to belittle.

 

My fair and reasonable offer to meet in a fair and reasonable place for a fair and reasonable chat, still stands. As you american chappies are fond of saying 'bring it on'. I'm currently in Qingdao, will be on my way to Lianyungang tomorrow. I will keep you informed of my whereabouts as I proceed on my journey and when I get close to where you are, please give me a yell on this tinternet thing, I'm happy to make a detour. We can then make sensible arrangements to meet up wherever you like. As you well know, new year's eve in Harbin is neither sensible or practical because I'll be in England for the festivities and isn't Harbin a little far from your school?

 

It's simple, you and I disagree, let's talk, discuss and argue, man to man, in a decent civilised manner. I see no problem with that. - Mine's a Guinness! not that crap that we get in the UK, but the real stuff that comes from Dublin, (if you come up with the excuse that you don't know where to find real Guinness in your neck of the woods, then we are both doomed, unless Raf can arrange for some to be delivered at short notice, if I can afford 75 rmb a bottle then I can afford to have it shipped from Beijing) Now that is british humour, no doubt you will see it differently, some sort of code perhaps, dan dan dan. Look forward to seeing you soon.

 

 

Yours, loke, the bloke

 

( just a fat, harmless, grey haired, old englishman, who certainly does not loath americans, in fact I have spent a lot of my life working and living with americans in various parts of the world in order to make sure that you and your cronies had the freedom to be born and to spread your rather distorted view of China. I'm just a naïve, pompous old fart who uses a mirror to try to add balance and fairness.)

 

 

P.S.

I hope that I've anticipated you correctly, I've posted this private message publicly, as I have no doubt, given past experience, that you would have made it public anyway, I also made it public in the hope that you and your 'spin doctor' friends don't misunderstand and change what I've said, can't be too careful these days, there are thieves and vagabonds everywhere you know, look at the anglo/american banking system. (sarcastic british humour).

 

PPS If you need a translation of any of this please don't hesitate to ask one of my 'mates', I'm sure the martian can use some good old anglo saxon words that you will certainly understand.

I don't think you are Chinese. Chinese guys are not  that open minded as you are, to have such a nick name here. It makes  people think of other things, like " huge erection".   Even  if a Chinese guy is that open mined like you, I don't think he is that smart with English.

I don't care if you are Chinese, British, Romanian, Mexican or anything else.

You are an arrogant self righteous prick who tries to bully anyone that doesn't share your pro-China anti-America ideology.

What is the difference between me and Crimo? I rarely generalise, he almost always does. I rarely criticise my hosts without some constructive alternative, he almost always does.

I try and avoid, letting our hosts think ALL expats are as rude, ignorant and ungrateful as him (and a few others). Personally I think that's important because such posts just breed hatred of the expat community so idiots like Crimo (and others) in the long run make my life in this country that much more difficult.

  Hugh, I think the only person who really believes this stuff is Crimo, God bless him. In actual fact it makes me wonder whether he really is a teacher, he should be familiar enough with speakers of a second language to recognize when someone truly is a native speaker. But the method of circular thinking he unconsciously employs will always convince him that you, me and Loke are one Chinese person, employed by the government to sow seeds for the CCP. God forbid he should have to admit to himself that he is mistaken. What a loss of face that would be.

  I honestly think i'm done with this argument. You know, the speaking up when you hear words of vitriol spoken against the Chinese, I don't see it going anywhere. So much of it is just venting, even if there will always be some folks who take it to an uglier level, I think the respectful presence of Chinese visitors to this site says far more than I can, by example alone.

Hugh.G.Rection:

Mainly, because the little critters are faster than I am, and way too smart to wait around for me in pubs. So you are not Chinese. Congratulations. Just post what you think.

You're not British, your English is not good enough.  Its good but not perfect.  I just scrolled down the page reading your posts and you make silly little mistakes that a native English speaker wouldn't make.   If I actually cared about this argument I would point them out to you but I really cant be arsed.

xunliang:

More to the point, grow the fuck up. You might be British for all I know, who cares? I got called Chinese when I first started using this forum. If you're not Chinese then welcome to the internet, this is what its like, either get used to it or go cry somewhere else.

Oh he's British all right,  he can see into the nuances of the 'British' language and thank god he does make mistakes, because that shows that he's human too, unlike that Martian chappy who is not even of this planet.

xunliang, you are mistaken, in your haste to prove me wrong you are assuming that your ideas on what is correct and incorrect are perfect, they aren't!

 

Here is a link that shows 'nobodies' is a variant on nobody - http://www.yourdictionary.com/nobodies

 

My English is not perfect, as I said, but it is VERY good, however I almost always use British English (hence I usually use -ise not ize) and of course I make typing errors and some basic errors from time to time.

However, if you seriously doubt whether I'm English take up my offer, IM me and I'll giveyou   my FB link, or is it just that you are happier being ignorant of the truth? A troll?

Man, I'm tired just trying to explain this to you. Nobodies is the plural form of a nobody. I could be as ridiculous as you and find you a link but like I said, I really don't care. I assume my ideas on what is correct and incorrect are perfect? What does that even mean? lol. The mistakes I was talking about were not spelling mistakes. Anyone who's native language is English can spot them. Actually it's a little bit sad that you care so much what a few people on a forum think of you. Is this forum your whole life or something? And I know it;s the holidays but do you really have nothing better to do than start this discussion and then go look up the word nobodies?

Wait, ARE you French? I don't think you have clearly stated your nationality.

I don't care who or what you are, but for the love of all that is holy, would people please stop posting questions about themselves? It's annoying.

Hugh.G.Rection:

I'm sorry Jnus, I do actually agree with you. But I have repeatedly been called a liar on this forum and that irritates me. So please excuse my self-indulgence this one time, and I hope it is the only time I have to ask you that.

Only a drunk Chinese guy would care what this forum thought about him.....your busted bro.  Put down the cheap chinese beer and step away before you have to go to work tomorrow without taking a show and sleeping in the same clothes.....oh wait, that would happen anyway.

Hello  'peeps',

 

Now I wonder if our american cousins know where that one comes from?   I know that my mates will.

 

Some of you will know  that I'm on my travels at the moment, currently in Qingdao, popping out to take a look at few bits of rock in the next day or two.

 

Well aren't things getting interesting on here.

 

Message to the 'usual suspects' and their blind followers  -  unlike my two comrades, I DO have an agenda here.

  

I've been a member of this site over the past 3 years or more and have come to a few conclusions which I BELIEVE, can't prove, yet.  I'll let you know about them soon when I have more time.   It's a long story.   Please don't go jumping too quickly to conclusions yet Crimo and co, all will be revealed soon.   'Good things come to he who waits'.   Just chat among yourselves for the time being.  

I'm a bit busy at the moment doing important stuff.   dan dan dan.   A clue for the more observant of Crimo's clan  -   read very carefully what I have posted in the recent past.  

 

Got to sleep now, busy few days ahead for me.   

 

As for an answer to your question    -   I know that you're not Chinese Huge, and I'm not over impressed  with Facebook because it's american, of course. 

mArtiAn:

  Good to hear from you Loke, but this American thing.................is it really necessary? Doesn't seem to encourage an understanding attitude, but rather antagonize one of willing contempt. Mirrors are all well and good but this one might be kind of broken.

  Happy trails.

If you have a half-day, go into LaoShan outside of Qingdao and take a stroll through some of the trails. Beautiful place to take photos. Good air, too. Quite a bit of history in the place, also. Travel safe.

You have an agenda? How exciting! But why must we wait for the startling revelation of your insidious information or knowledge? Please we must know now! I implore you!

Please don't delay. I'll get some popcorn!

Ok, firstly my apologies for a, this thread and b. resurrecting it. As far as I'm concerned this is the final post from myself on this topic.

 

Of all the people on this site one person only came forward and took up my offer to look the 'real' me up on FB. This person has since said I "check out". No-one else came forward, although the offer still stands, so I have to assume everyone else (including the 'usual suspects' to steal a loke line) either in their hearts know I am who I claim to be or don't want to find out as they are chicken hearted cowards who cannot face up to their own mistakes.

 

Secondly, and the part that will probably please most of you, I have given up trying to persuade you of who I am and will take the advice 'why do you give a f***' so eloquently given by some. I no longer care what you think. To that end I will continue to challenge the racism, the sweeping generalisations and I will continue to point out hypocrisy when I see it but I will just block out the snide innuendos that mainly originate from that pri** who used to piss me off.

 

Thank you for bearing with me and like I said, from me, no more of these navel gazing posts.

NuF:

This clearly means you still care.

 

It's awesome to read how you don't understand how crazy this topic is.

Not only that, you come up with a stupid FB test thing nobody would even care about to prove you are not Chinese. What is going on in your mind?

 

I just think about you sitting in front of your computer thinking about this great idea and typing it out.

 

But thanks anyway for giving me so much joy and please keep taking everything personal (even if this is just the fucking internet) 

You make me feel so much better about myself.
