You certainly wade in quickly with the insults, don't you? I've re-read my post to try and work out what it was I said which violently upset you so much. Isn't the idea of contributing on this site to put forward different points of view and debate? It's not as if I disagreed very much with the poster to whom I replied I merely put forward a couple of reservations.

As for trying to please people by learning Chinese in China, quite frankly, I can't think of a better reason to learn the language; otherwise, what do we do with the language when learned; upset as many Chinese as we can with out newly learned abilities; swear in Chinese at them maybe?
