Asia spending billions on tutors: study

Oxyleo, I'm taking cover, hoping to seek refuge in safer threads like Tuckshop etc where you'll never going wrong. After some recuperation, knowing myself , I'll creep back to kaypo in the hotter threads. :boogie:


Till now I'm still scratching my head about the \"crossfire\". What have we not done to clarfiy our stand? We tried to make peace (inclu limlim). So I don't know where along the line, the communication just snapped. Anyway, do continue to contribute Oxyleo, really love reading your posts and thoroughly enjoyed your humor. :hi5:

I think AB snapped when she read cherryc's bit on wanting \"civilized\" discourse. It was interpreted as \"the alternative camp\" being uncivilized. Actually, I think it was cherryc merely wished to respond to VKS2010's \"rubbish\" remark (and I think she felt bad for Janet). So... that ONE spark \"rubbish\" lead to a SECOND spark \"uncivilized\"... and a fire began again.

There was wrong on both sides.

Peace everyone. Just clarify your logic and refrain from words that hint at \"uncivilized\" or outright accuse \"rubbish\". As Buds said, and AB has herself PM-ed me, no one objects to reasonable suggestions to improve the system... and no one actually thinks the system is perfect. Then again, for the record, no one also disputes that 100% consistency amongst schools is not possible.

Somewhere, we are reasonable people and do in fact meet in the middle. Even Becontented's posts, once clarified, don't look as unkind as I thought they were. Even limlim has acknowledged a \"bad idea\".

Oxyleo and Lilac66, you have my respect. Cherryc, it was nice of you to stick up for poor Janet.

Thank you Chen for the clarfication and unbiased post. You are indeed the undisputed \"Queen of Peace\", haha. :rahrah: After some thoughts, I feel if vsk2010 is willing to tone down his expressions a tad alittle, maybe the fire would not have been ignited so quickly. But then again, being a man, usually they are too direct and fast without processing the words first, unlike women.
He has been very generous in his sharing of info and knowledge and I salute him for that.

Oxyleo and Lilac66, you have my respect

Thanks. The feeling is definitely mutual. :salute:

Oh my, what happened? How did this thread become so fiery?


I think for some of us who have been in this forum long enough, we should know the ‘pattern’ of some regular forummers. Brash, abrupt, provocative, gossipy, insightful, inciteful, thoughtful, etc. So far, most forummers are decent and civilised and generous with their knowledge. We do get kinda boisterous over topics that we are passionate about but at the end of the day, there is no ill will in any of the posts. I remember vividly that VKS2010 and 3boys (or was it someone else) appear to be at each others throat over some discussions and soon enough you see them hi-fiving each other over another topic as their views concur.

So peace everyone, stay objective and not let it get too personal.
