Poodles are yappy. And generally don't know when to keep quiet.
For example, in posting private messages and communications from moderator forums either here or at other sites. I have your posts, but they were posted in confidence in the Taiwanease moderator forum. They do not belong here. That is a distinction that both you and Ant might pay more attention to when posting here.
Also, I didn't call YOU a poodle on espresso. I described your posting behavior that way. Which it is. Twitchy, nervous and fixated.
I have no vested interest in either site. I enjoy moderator privilege banners here, and probably would have on Taiwanease had I remained there. The difference, of course, is the number of views and clickthroughs that Forumosa generates as opposed to what Taiwanese would generate. I'm more than comfortable with the Forumosa numbers from the perspective of meeting new students who are interested in really efficient Mandarin lessons.
Oh, and generally one of any sort of punctuation mark is enough to get the point across. More than one looks...yappy
The thing that intrigues me is that by all accounts, you're a really nice person in real life. I haven't gotten that impression through your forum posts, by and large, but I have no reason to doubt the opinions of people I know who've met you.
