Mr. Yong (until you, Thanouxay refute that label),
I already made my comments, will continue to make comments, mostly on
the related subject in one way or another.
I know you just can't stand it that I'm able to remember and connect
everything you say and do, at most instances.
For your information, I have never once wanted you to talk me, or
listen to me, for that matter. I just ask generic questions, and point
out all your public contradictions and mishaps (which I always give
you credit for, every time, via exact quotes).
But because you feel such an urge to respond as an official
representative of the Lao PDR, you have made these discussions a part
of your full time job (everyone knows that because most of your
responses happen during the regular working hours in Laos).
It is clear that YOU are the one avoiding all the postings and
subjects that you clearly have no answers for. Or, you start a new
round of propaganda posts to divert attention to older posts that you
can longer defend. Your strategy of diversion and counter-offensive
propaganda is classic, and you never fail to live up to those
expectations. It's predictable. DKJ is even more predictable.
I will hold you accountable to being the responsible adult that you
claim. If I should see another childish lie, an immature name being
called, or the direct bullying of private citizens around the world,
then your adulthood would be on the line.
