I don't mind kidding around, it's just if the folks who do it are really kidding is what I'm concerned about.

Posters who want to expose the negative side of China should not be afraid of doing so, but we have seen in the past how the China lovers drive them off the boards through intimidation and sometimes outright lying. Now, teachers who are not working in China are slandered as folks who were "not worthy" of working in China, as if that makes them lower human beings.

I say anybody who chooses to not work there or cannot work there for some reason: Good for you! You are so much the better because of it.
