自即日起﹐本老朽退出政治肥皂箱這個城市。

原因一﹑數日前﹐該市華碩巿長以『無投票權或居留外國﹐不要在此發言』為由﹐對待洋人市民Lohengrin理性論政﹐老朽認為有違中華禮義之邦之舉﹐係粗魯行為﹐已有考慮退出。 

原因二﹑兩日前﹐該巿華碩市長對宋楚瑜『親民黨是藍軍』一言﹐明顯刻意歪曲﹐指控老宋『耍陰謀』﹐更加深我對該城﹐為一群馬家軍不做理性討論﹐盡力以謊言愚弄國人的印象。深信該城不可能有理性議政﹐浪費時間精力而已﹔所以除了發表『大藍鳥勇鬥大泛藍』一文﹐駁斥華碩市長明顯歪曲謬論﹐加以抗議外﹐決定割蓆斷交﹐自即（美國十月二十三）日起退市﹐特此敬告諸親友。

曾太公敬啟

What a shame! It is so rude that Mayor Hwa So treated you.  I don't believe it until I really saw it by myself.  What kind of freedom of speech is this? Please accept my apology for his way to welcome a friend from afar. Keep in touch!

I appreciate the sentiment.  Many, I would say most, of these web forums are maintained by people with strong political opinions and biases.  This is expected.  What is solely lacking in these forums is a sense of humor.  Many are so driven to advance their favorite politicians and it is just so dry and repetitive after a while.   I have a colleague who has been dealing with politicians for while.  He once told me that politicians are usually quite intelligent people.  They only pretend to be dumb and not following your argument when logic goes against their interest.  I see now that advocates (paid or unpaid) are far worse.     It is at first aggravating to argue with these people, but after a while it becomes sheer boredom.  I probably won’t be around for long.  It has been good while it lasted.
