雙兒,
I look at the whole Jackey episode differently. I am quite ok with you two battling out for supremacy in language and logical deduction. The only thing that bothered me was the references to Y2K ...
Stccmc
As the other tiger has also spoken, the only thing雙儿can do is to say a few more words.
Stccmc, I was not imitating Jacky’s below-the-belt throws, I was only imitating his 強辭奪理,打橫嚟講。I’ll never use unparliamentary words like he has done. You hear MPs asking the other side to shut up all the time. Think of that, MPs are protected by parliamentary immunity in the house. That means they can say almost whatever they want knowing perfectly that they can’t be sued for that. But when an MP uses unparliamentary words, the immunity is lost. You simply cannot call your opponent a "hyprocrite" or a "coward". It is like writing a death certificate to one's own political career. Certain MPs, notably Churchill, have been known for their skills of insulting opponents without using unparliamentary language. You should have heard the famous euphemism "econmical with the truth" when you want to accuse others of lying.
Jackey’s matter could have been resolved in a slightly different way, of course. For example, Eviepa and you could have spoken earlier. Jacky has the mentality of classifying and identifying himself as a member of an elite group and thus does not feel bound by the normal social etiquette which, in his eyes, only applies to mundane souls like me and the rest of us. Even he is met with strong disproval from the rest of the world, as long as the members in the group he has identified with remain silent, he takes this as approval of what he has been doing and so keeps on doing. A word from you or Eviepa is better than the words put together from all of us. Eviepa’s 四個麻甩佬說法 only served to strengthen his wrongful belief. 唉, etiquette on and outside the net is what clothes to all of us. Will a normal person enjoy going in shameful nudity? Without etiquette, the intercourse among us would be filled with needless offences and troubles. The lack of etiquette would make the most intimate friends turn into the most decided enemies. Does he understand all these?
Like you, I envy the people who can write beautifully. I believe I know what is good English when I see one. That is why I was particularly furious when Jacky 踩 wicked’s English which I know is beyond most of what I see here including mine. Of course, I also like the way Uncleedward writes.
Eviepa and you have greater capability than most of us, and comes with that --- a greater responsibility.
