You are young, life is like this. When you are doing something difficult, there will always be challenges and problems. There are always good times and bad times in life, the key is not to let the bad times make you think that they are the only thing that ever happens - I am sure even with...

Thanks for the response. It gives me insight into how you see things which I appreciate.

If you were to look at the stats for the whole website, the same posters are pretty much the people who keep your website going, with some people simply not posting because it doesn't interest them. Food for thought. All of this is par for the course on a lot of topics. There is other stuff...

How many people do you think have left TTD becauss of this "bad look"? And would your opinion change if other TT forums in Asia or Australia considered this a bigger topic?

Carl, No one ever needs to explain why someone is acting in their selfish interests - no normal human being finds that hard to understand. What we need to explain is why they are doing this when there are consequences that involve hurting others and potentially themselves. Even if we are all...

So I drove out to the TT club on a weekday. Still waiting for Der to do Dallas since the club is in a Korean mall and has a Korean owner so we can do barbeque. I mostly trained for the time I was there and got to hit a lot more with the Cybershape. Did an hour of countering and blocking...

I hope it was clear that I was being a bit facetious with that specific "misogyny" claim.

The problem with cheaper blades (and rubbers) isn't always how they play once, but whether they will remain consistent across different instances. Quality control for these things means that if you like it, you have no guarantee that the next person will like what you liked since the blade...

Feel better!

Yes, it is definitely rude to make fun of a woman's appearance in modern discourse, especially when a man does it, and so publicly too. Though I wonder what would have happened if an equally powerful woman was so rude. The things women use to describe other women's appearances make men look...

Again, the law has spoken - courts have made judgments. In favor of Chiang. I know the law means little to you in estimating moral standing but while I don't think it is perfect, I think it is important - I follow laws I do not like everyday. You keep writing like she hasn't been heard in court...

That is such a tasteless joke but the reactions have me laughing really hard. Harder than I have laughed in a while.

Yeah, some people seem to be hung up on the "villain" thing. Hence my post about clickbait titles. That said, I have no problem with someone taking sides in this based on what is publicly available. And don't get me wrong, may Ai made a mistake in marrying the guy, or even getting married at...

If what they are doing is violating their standing in court and in violation of a judge's orders, they are taking serious risks. That's the rational argument. You don't have to care about their honesty to know that.

Maybe because when there are three lawyers at a press conference, they know what they are doing when they are making something public and that nothing they did at the conference was in violation of the judge's order, which they were asked about at the press conference that you watched?

I wish. People still believe amazing things in the name of a purported fairness.

And her love for her son (which for some reason does not carry over to her daughter, whom she has left with the father) led her to keep him away from her father, which is how good and normal mothers act? The lengths to which people are going to white knight this lady are amazing.

Yeah, the two court rulings that order her to obey the joint custody should just be ignored because people who claim she is terribly wrong not to follow them don't have all the information. Good point.

This is not a chiquita but I thought it was worth illustrating the difference between a side underspin ball and a side topspin ball with a similar swing.

When I pointed out that the whole issue wasn't based exclusively on ERT's video, you pivoted to saying it was based on tabloids. And after I pointed out it wasn't just tabloids, you simply thanked me for clarifying my position. The point here is that these are substantive issues affecting...
