Because, I have HIGHER STANDARDS.
[QUOTE=mapleleaf;95231]Hello collection!
Thank you for your informative posts. You sound a little reasoning like hai lua, and a little affectionate like ong gia. But I don't remember who you are. I read MB almost everyday then. Also I don't think you are Chiphe.
Dr. Tran has become a phenomenon ever since. Wherever he goes he stirs it up, having a lot of fanatic fans. Of course there are people who don't believe him too. They fought him quite hard. Sometimes he got so mad that he labelled them CAM without any justifications.
So far admins of x-cafe and Vietland are his victims. :)
He is both good and evil, whether intentionally or not. There is no denying that he posseses quite a lot of knowledge. I like the way he writes too. he writes graciously in both English and Vietnamese. When he is mad, however, his language becomes hideous. :)
I still believe he is a good person, just too arrogant he is though. I hope he could cool down a bit and focus on doing what he believes, and should not drag himself into stupid troubles like insulting nails people, labelling forum's admin CAM....
I miss MB where I enjoyed discussions, debates, information... in such a good manner. My favorite is KQD. Not smart as Dr Tran, or HH, but he is cool and calm. He knows the insides of VN very well. He could be a leader in the future when the wind of change blows to Vietnam.
Take care

I just have higher standards than most people, that's all.
Many people like my writings because they are easy to read, have very few, if any, spelling mistakes, etc.
Let me tell you this, it's not coincidental, or easy to do.
When I left VN in mid 1980s, I was half way through 8th grade.
--------------------
My first 3 months at Minh Bien, I wrote all in English, making many readers mad.
But frankly, then, I had forgotten most of Vietnamese words, for not having used them for the previous 23 yrs.
But then my Vietnamese improved, because I spent a lot of time reading Vietnamese voraciously, paying attention to spelling, grammar.
After about 2 yrs, my writings were better than most Vietnamese who had been writing in Vietnamese all their life.
Why?
--------------------
Very simple: I have higher standards than them. Sometimes I was already in bed, but I thought I spelled a single word wrong, I came back to the computer just to change a singe ? or ~.
That's me: HIGHER STANDARDS.
Other people say: It's okay to bribe policemen and customs people at the airport.
I say: No, nope, zip. Not a cent. They could arrest me, put me in prison, but I will not give them a cent.
--------------------
Other people say: It's okay to pick up dirt from everyone's feet for $5 a foot.
I say: No, nope, zip. Not for a million dollars. I could eat grass and die, but I will not do that for a million bucks.
I am no better, I am just different from most of the rest of the folks.
Because, I have HIGHER STANDARDS.
Is it too hard to understand?
