Let me say something before I kill this ID.

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛First of all, I want to thank all those who have supported me, particularly wincity, thornthorn c_wang and slowdownforrose, mikesmith and a number of other IDs that don’t talk a lot in this forum . This is really not their fight, but it is nice to have someone speak out for me. I can see why some IDs enjoy high respect here. From last September to now, I do enjoy checking out this forum from time to time. But I don’t respond well to personal attacks and could get very nasty of which I am not proud or very defensive (borrow a word from wincity) . I welcome all comments directed at my writing, opinion, typo, choice of words and grammar, but not personal insults. Before I do something I may regret, I decide to kill this ID. But I will drop by and write one line or two, of course, using a different ID. I borrowed this ID from a friend anyway; he might kill me if he knew what I did here.


Secondly, when I write the story, I don’t really think a lot about it, just let it flow out. I provide you raw materials, you are the cooks. What kind of dishes you want to cook is really up to you. Different people get different things from the story. I don’t know what I want the story to be, but I do know what I want the story not to be – predictability. Instead of writing a white knight or Cinderella story, I want to present it “as is”, let it run its own course. The boy has his vices and virtues; he has his moments of happiness and moments of desperation; he has ego and he has kindness; sometimes he is confused, other times he is confident; he could be nasty and lovely at the same time. He is a human at the end of the day. He needs to deal with all kinds of developmental problems although the environment does not make it easy for him. Beauty does not only exist in roses, water lilies also have their moments. I don’t really view the story as tragic as I haven’t gone through the whole story. My plan was to walk you all through the story. But it does start to take more and more my time, particularly with this kind of debate which could make me think about it whole day, I would rather kill the ID, because I do have something else more important to do.


Third, choice of words. There is no right or wrong or so called “show off”. A word is a word, either you use it for a purpose or you don’t use it. There is no such thing as “big” or “small”. You use whatever is available in your word repository. Today is Dickens appreciation day, a paragraph from the article: “In one important aspect the adaptations even go one better than Dickens: The eccentric secondary characters are predictably dazzling, but the often-insipid heroes and heroines also shine on the screen because the actors give them a life that Dickens could not.” Tell me the reporter is using “big” words to “show off”.

I know ID Winterstorm wants attention, I don’t. There is no sign that he is going to give up gossip-style commenting. Each time he is talking about me while looking the other way, I have to suppress a strong urge to make fun of him. But that way we could make this forum a total trash bin.

I will see you all in another ID, say in a couple of months? Keep writing with punctuation.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • Please don't kill this ID. Not necessary, not worth it. We are waiting for your "How I Fell in Love with English (4)". Don't disappoint us.
      • After I read this, I realized that I did make a stupid joke yesterday. I really want to say I am so sorry.
        • Apology accepted. Eric will be back soon. Stay tuned.
        • 你没错。 我只是跟你开开玩笑,我想刺哥也是。
          • I didn't know too much before I made that joke to you. SORRY!
            • 真跟你没关系. 挑刺儿也是乐子, 我想作者不介意, 反正我是不反对.
              • Thanks, I am feeling much better now.
                • 让我猜猜你是谁
                  原来是eric提前注册的ID呀. 恭喜!
                  • Now, XS56, I am 2erTG.
      • I don't want to be mean, but I do think it was fine until you and wincity stir things up.
        • Everyone deserves to have an opinion. Yours also counts. Have a lovely day.
    • The only reason to kill an id would be that you are not proud of it -- but you should be. Have an open mind and a sense of humor, and there is nothing wrong to "make fun of" seemingly unfriendly comments or simply to laugh it off.
      • +100
    • Life moves on, and I respect your choice. If and when you feel like to share values later on, we are here waiting for you. If we are not here, there are hundreds and thousands of others who will share the same values. Be well.
      • +1
    • 你是希尔瑞斯吗?
      • 我希望是凯丁.
    • Take a break might be a good idea, although I had hoped to read more of your articles. Take care and hope to see you soon.
    • 一点不顺耳的声音都听不得,换什么ID都一样不自在。不过又有谁真正在乎?真是越来越可笑了。
    • can't thank you more for all the enjoyment reading you articles,still remember the 1st time when I read that story about simultaneous interpretation , I literally laughed to choke,
      really hope you could continue on writting here when you feel comfortable,under whatever ID,u bet we'll recognize u~~take care
