Hmmmm... So that's what John's "speaking in tongue.." means. Well, my style maybe is just not being direct to the point but the meaning is there.

You see, I admire Nephi Lim's asking forgiveness from John seemingly being trialed in a court of justice. But to me, that should not be the case. That's why I wanted to talk to him privately because of his native Filipino attitude of saying 'YES' always to 'Americans'.

My understanding to some of his postings is contrary to his explanations and it is being seconded by fellow Filipino here. I have no hurt feelings to him and to John, it's just that I always have maybe the guts to post what is my heart. As you have said, it's just an opinion...

>Post; I'm certain that people will let you know if they have problems with it. Just qualify your statement as an opinion, not the truth as revealed by St. Atilla, whose teachings clearly drive the behaviors of many people here.

>If you don't want to expose yourself to John's response, don't post. The worst thing to do is to say "OK, let's have a private conversation" and carry on a dialog in another language. makes it appear that you'd rather not say anthing publicly, but "just wanted to let us know you're not done".
