Since this is Jaehwan’s site and out of respect for him, let’s just drop this bickering. And I was serious about that invitation for the teleconference. If you all are Asian American activists, I (and probably the others in our group) would like to hear your take on the issues that affect our community.

I’m not quite sure how you think I’m assuming things about Larry. I’m reading his words, which sound condescending and holier-than-thou regarding people he’s never met outside of the internet. Also, if you have a problem with the way things are done somewhere, it solves no problems (and is the adult version of playground gossip and smack-talk) to run somewhere else to vent your dissatisfaction. So it’s rich to condescend to others saying they’re acting like children when one’s own actions are no better.

And as much as I appreciate you opinion of Larry,
There is no reason to blow this up in the same context that this thread has done for William.

I feel like 90% of the conversation in this thread, and related threads on associated sites are filled with messages expressing hate. And Zzzang [Not to focus on you], you could seriously express yourself outside of a negative tone.

“You’re such a self righteous ass even in defeat.”
Can read: I don’t care a damn thing about what you say, elitist.

When you could say something along the lines of:
“I’d like to reiterate, that your reply to Haha’s comment was condescending – I don’t think that you should have done so.”
Which reads: I don’t think you took the right approach.

Key Difference: one is fueled with emotion, the other is fueled with Logic.

We have no reason to fight your ego, that’s why we’re asking you to let it go.

If you want Larry to own up to it, it’s really easy to ask for an apology.

I think Larry decided to put this behind him. Is something keeping you from doing the same?

F.H. – he’s not judging that quickly – you could spend countless hours of silly arguments like such on the F44′s. It seems as such to me: As passionate as the people seem, there are often way too many fights that start as a difference between ideologies that end that continue as long as the two parties continue to call each other names. I think you may be making assumptions, about Larry that you do not quite understand. I feel like your writing is not intended to accuse Larry of anything, but to point it out to him. The problem is, you keep using “you” – when you put things outside of the second-person context it’s a little bit easier to read on the receiving end.

Haha~, By your name, its obvious that you’re not here to own up to your words. You’re only intent was to ridicule Larry. Also, you’re at as much fault as Larry is because of his approach to the subject. Correct me if I am wrong — seriously. If you do so, I fully expect you to not accuse me of anything.

And I’d love to have more people in the teleconference! So you guys should consider.

Larry:
You’re such a self righteous ass even in defeat.

Let it go.

BTW, are you three all Asian American activists? Next time we have a teleconference, why don’t you call in? We can discuss this issue and other things pertinent to the Asian American community–out in the open. It sure as hell beats hiding behind anonymous screen names.

Lets not start something over someone getting riled-up over the tone of Larry’s comments. Cause really – it was clear, and he agreed he came of condescending.

There is no need to find the one thing wrong about Larry – unless he himself is looking for it. We don’t have to provoke the hate anymore.

Both of you are at fault for letting it continue/starting it – This is a simple thing, so lets move on.

Haha~, quite honestly, you came of even more condescending than Larry did.

Larry, I don’t know why you let this get to you – We must remember how people act, especially in the anonymous realm of the internet.

Zzzang, have you taken a look at the PUA thread now on the 44′s? Its actually entitled “Better Asian Man is an Unethical Wet Pussy” Its not an PUA or plagerism discussion, its basically everyone there professing a profound hate for William – and letting it out because this news triggered it.

Larry has spent no time taking actions that would provoke someone into expressing their hate for William – Early on he has expressed that he thinks the issue would provide too much public embarassment for him.

We’ve got no need for this here. Lets keep our lives moving.

You talk about there being more important issues to be concerned about, yet I’m pretty damn sure you participated in some voyeurism of your own. What, did you have 5-10 minutes to kill while you were out saving the world?
