Ref to Tim Liu’s comments…<\/p>\n
I like the way the way you distort facts…refering to my mother’s private parts in Hokkien cannot be dismissed as simply "silly’…call a spade a spade. <\/p>\n
I like the way you mentioned the showers(cold) of blessing incident with the comment …there was no fight..it gives the wrong impression you have mellowed and have matured and walkewd away despite being provoked.<\/p>\n
Let me refresh SHC members’ memories…the incident happened at the "Golden Building" in Shenton Way where we were both guests. A famous country and western singer(local version) had a blow up with the honourable TL about "messing with TL’s hair with an umbrella and there was an outburst and some shouting. One party at my table(I have 3 witnesses who can testify it was not me and the person in question was willing to own up but as my guest I gave advice not to do so) mentioned the word " quarrel" and TL came over in a huff and aggresively challenged me to a fight. In the process he mentioned my dear mum with unsavoury and uncouth language. Some people who pulled him away were also challenged to a fight. <\/p>\n
A few days later in the forum I explained that it was not me who said the word "quarrel" and TL even had the termity to say he forgave me and did not even offered a word of apology to this day either in person or in the forum.<\/p>\n
On the shower of blessings day I asked him if he was willing to apologise and his reply was "NO".After being blessed I asked him not so politely if he wanted to discuss the matter but he politely(and meekly) declined….so much for the bravado of agressiveness at the Golden Building (I was mindful that I was a guest and did not want to be party to any incident) and refused to follow me for further discussions.<\/p>\n
Regarding the blow up between YK and RL I believe there should be better moderation on personal attacks, insults and disguised four letter words being bandied in the forum. SHC management reluctance to get involved and "spank" verbally or in the forum the ones who go off tangent is contributing to this fractiousness among the SHC community. I have taken Terence’s advice but did not tie TL to a tree but blessed the unrepentant. Members like TL have provoked and insulted and he has not been checked (at least publicly) and it seems there is one standard of rules for him and one for the rest of the members. This could be my last say in the forum but I hope it open member’s eyes on the current state of affairs. I have seen people who gave investment talks being rail roaded by TL unfairly and nothing is done(at least not to my knowledge) to check this loutish and bullying behaviour.<\/p>\n
This could be my last piece for the forum but to YK (not going into specific issues) I say "you dont deserve all the shit (at least in the manner it is hurled at you)you are getting for all the stalwart and unselfish work you are doing for SHC. Patrick Lee is entitled to a different opinion from you( I wont take sides or judge on issues as I dont know the full story) but I dont agree with mention of" skirts" and cosmetic surgeon" comments which are rather personal and insulting and uncalled for and degradatory and smacks of arrogance.<\/p>\n
Anybody like Terence would like to play peacemaker\/Sheriff and iron out their differences or is it too late?<\/p>\n
I believe we need some discipline in the forum or it will become a cowboy town where every "onery"(ordinary) cowpoke can run riot and shoot from the hip on sight at any moving target as fair game) without any regard for decency and fairplay(fair comments). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
