Ah Chia:
Your write up, though voluminous, is very informative &
opens your eyes that there will always be 2 sides of a coin.
For many who are constantly exposed to 1 side of a story, it must
be quite refreshing or surprising to see another version of the
whole issue.
Whether it is 0% to 99.99% true, accurate. fabricated or
confabulated, you judge for yourself.
There is no doubt for the need to see the other side of the coin.
It should be the way for a healthy debate to be conducted.
But the way Uncle Chia has been doing is not the way to do it,
because:-
1. Those are copyrighted material, or at least written by
someone else and he has no right to use it without the author's
permission. This is wrong. Providing a link is ok, but copy and
paste whole sections is not.
2. More critically, it shows Uncle Chia is fully incapable of
his own critical thinking and need to use other's writing to
support his thesis. A few words here and there is normal, but whole
sections?
This does not bode well for our society and individuals. It
doesnt matter if one's language used is not up to par, for
this forum is not a literary heaven anyway, but what is more vital
is his communication to his fellow citizens. Plaguarising and
copying will not help him improve himself, but will only hinder his
further development as a concern citizen.
In the end, it is his choice, the freedom to learn or to
continue in ignorance.
