And Expatriate, while you're still here, I'd like to say that I've seen much better trolls - if you're going to be a troll, at least you could try to do it well...

Do you really think that KnowItAll can be so powerful? If so, he should be very happy,as Google is gonna to come to him. If this the case, treat us a big dinner KnowItAll.

Expatriate, are you really under so much stress here in HK? (No offense) Should you need a consultant, please let me know maybe I can recommend. Relaxxxxxxxxxx

Oh, reminds me of bus uncle - "I have pressure, you have pressure" and "it's not settled!"

Rant on Expatriate!

Expatriate actually hit on a point that is quite true.
In many forums, there is usually a consensus of a set belief that prevails. I know from experience that in another forum, the consensus is quite anti-bush and subsequently in some ways American-bashing. That's just the way it is I suppose. Everyone is very reactive in their beliefs and aren't very open-minded. Which is fair as everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
But I find the best way to post is never to attack. You lose much credibility and you hurt others' opinion of themselves and then it becomes a match of name-calling. To avoid being called a Troll, be persuasive, informative, and above all, humble and respectful. No one is out to get you Expatriate. But I will venture to say you could have offended someone through an unintended passionate reply. Just have to be careful dude.
