He speaks with a forked tongue.

But can Baduk not speak in tongues?

And you once again ignore this “(I trust you’re smart enough to know the truth)”. As I was saying, I was just telling him to be cautious.

I didn’t see wjk doing that. Besides….he’s American.

I don’t know what you’re reading into, but that’s not what I was suggesting. I was telling him to be cautious, which may or may not have been necessary (you apparently didn’t notice my last comment).

someguyinkorea,

I don’t know what you’re reading but wjk has never once tried to fan “anti-Americanism.” If you wanna criticize wjk, fine…just make sure it’s for something he actually did.

Disregard the emoticon. I forgot there the avatars have been disabled, so any visuals at all jump out on the screen. I was just trying to make light of a side-issue, since this blog desperately needs some levity right now in the midst of all the heated rhetoric.

wjk,

I’ve been the victim of prejudice here and back home in Canada (more often here than there, may I point out). Again, don’t fall into the trap that many young Koreans are falling into here in South Korea. Do not use the tragedy as a pretext to fan anti-Americans because now they supposedly all hate Koreans (I trust you’re smart enough to know the truth).

That’s funny. I understood everything of what Baduk wrote except the sentence that JiMong and WJK picked up on.

It’s not speaking in tongues if it’s your native language…except that deciphering Baduk’s customized romanization was harder than reading ancient Aramaic!

Some expats and the Japanese call Koreans to be “boiling pots” who get hot really quick but cool down way to soon,

Baduk, this is what Koreans say about themselves!!! It’s a famous idiom.

Quit projecting, already! Damn!
