| [ EnglishOnly ] in KIDS 글 쓴 이(By): guest (Gene Drexl�) 날 짜 (Date): 1995년10월03일(화) 03시55분21초 KDT 제 목(Title): My point... pls someone capture my post. As I have suspected, my posting (i.e., Response to Xbridge) has been deleted by someone, along with some other guests' postings. LUCKILY HOWEVER, MINE GOT CAPTURED THANKS TO 'BDKIL'.. THANKS ! Regardless of hidden intent of the erasure, it is quite sad to see people's personal opinions are blocked thru deletion against his/her will. Mine got erased on the very same day I posted mine. Pretty hard to decipher what the message is from the one who zapped guests' postings.. yet, the one chose the wrong method of manipulation. Simple disclosure/erasure of the posting(s) bearing opposed/disliked opinion won't solve the issue, which should be dealt in an intellectual way, namely thru debate via postings. After all, isn't the very purpose of this Board (or other) to present various opinions/thoughts and discuss pros and cons accordingly? So, I hope there's no more of behind-the-scene magical performance of disappearing postings. Having said that, I think I have to make one thing clear here as far as some misunderstanding about me is concerned seen from some of the people's blind reactions. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not recruiting my soldiers.) In my very first posting, yes.. I admit I used rather harshy and strong words against a gentleman named 'AntiNuke' (never F words though..).. and later I explained there was no 'personal' grudges whatsoever but only an expression of my thoughts of opposition. (This posting was erased by someone, of course) Later, someone (using my name) posted a rather controversial note containing, indeed, series of vulgar and profane F words and attitude... which I clarified in later posting that it was not my writing.. (yes, of course, this was erased long before people ever had any chance to read my posting..) Therefore, people who judged me based upon second-hand information thru other people's postings (who had miscalculated me based upon that 'fake' writing..) became very agitated and mad at me. (understandable though) Someone even charged me of my 'person' way of writing style.. which otherwise could well be accepted/fovored if (suppose) he/she (accuser) and I were good friends... This proves that some people judge people based upon their pre-conception and not based upon objective and factual scoops, and furthermore they won't budge an inch as far as their open policy practice (for opposing views) is concerned... sad.. sad! Throughout the replies, I emphasized following 2 viewpoints of mine: - This board is a place of free expression, regardless of like or dislike opinions. As long as one is abiding in the rules & regulations (if any) of the specific board, he/she should not be harassed outside of the discussed subject. - One should not 'pick' on the (writing) style or way of other people since no two are alike, and furthermore that is NOT the purpose of this Board, and this world is so vast to bet your life on this kind of personal taste. Like I repeatedly said, I am not a bum killing time thru the irresponsible postings, nor am I a heroic blood aiming at the journalistic earthquakes... I'm simply a person like you, who are very fond of tasting different curtural varieties throughout various Internet communities. I happened to find this place by accident.. and I love Korea thru a short stay in Seoul for business I have never been approached with such reactions from all over the world simply because of my style and of course some of my verbal expressions. Yet, I love this board, and I plan to visit as often as I can. Can I, guys?? Gene Drexler. ======== |
