Forum Admin Greg Posted November 5, 2014 Author Forum Admin Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 You mean where he threw up his hands, said, in effect "I hate you all!" and stormed off? Ha, is that what you think I actually did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Ha, is that what you think I actually did? Pretty much. Haven't seen anything from you since February on this subject. Haven't seen ANYTHING from you since March when you got ticked off at the discussion on moderation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialist Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I would like to see a specific category for Public Education. Public education is too important to not have it's own category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWTT Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Isn't it time we get a Canada/China heading? WWWTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Isn't it time we get a Canada/China heading? WWWTT No. And if we were going to have a country specific heading it ought to be Israel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWTT Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 No. And if we were going to have a country specific heading it ought to be Israel. We already have US politics and Canada/US relations. China is Canada's second largest trading partner and China is now the #1 world economic super power. Harper and other Canadian politicians can't go a week without there being some kind of deal/trade/discussion with China. In fact, I would say judging from the media, Canada China relations is way more discussed as opposed to Canada US. WWWTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we have a Canada/US relations category because they are more like us? Living on the west coast, our politics/media cover much more of pacific rim developments/issues/opportunities. The U.S. is hardly discussed (except for good deals to be found south of the border) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site was started over ten years ago. The Canada/US relations topic makes sense considering our geography and past dependency on the US. But the times have definitely changed. As well, here is Southern Ontario, China is discussed non stop! WWWTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWTT Yes, I understand the past history with the U.S. However, I believe that perhaps today it is because we can identify more closely with them when in fact, perhaps we should focus on asian relationships.

WWWTT Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Sure...big difference in the television commercials you see for programming coming out of the U.S. Watch mostly Mandarin TV now. Primarily from mainland China and some from Taiwan. The odd time Canton from Guandong province. They use simplified characters some I understand and eventually I will challenge the dialect. So I will have to take your word for it thanks WWWTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercoma Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Can we stop with the "report and ignore" charade? Yeah. We all get it. Report it so you guys can ignore it. You don't have to tell people every time they get frustrated with the lack of moderation here that they should "report and ignore" things.

I think CA was offering to message you when it's unlocked, if you send him a message requesting that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardner Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Report it so you guys can ignore it. This comment, to my mind, ignores the amount of work and discussion the moderators do behind the scenes. Inaction by the moderators on a complaint doesn't mean it was ignored. There have been issues raised through members' reports that generate a lot of discussion and back-and-forth before the moderators decided that the post should be left alone, ie. that the comment reported on was actually "fair" discussion.
