Liuming,
I agree with you totally and I understand your meaning of funny. I also share your sentiments regarding the right to post any opinions, regardless of how ridiculous they may seem.
Unfortunately, the moderators of GoKunming do NOT share in our sentiments and there has been some censorship here in recent months as well as some recent posts concerning guidelines, rules and censorship. As you can read from some of the replies, some members are eager to see more censorship and more locking of threads, and SPAM buttons.
I personally do NOT approve of ANY type of censorship because the moment it begins, censorship will have no end.
I perfectly understand why the moderators locked a few threads lately. The problem is that a few people are writing some absurd things here and it causes the moderators to do something about it. Of course, the only option is to lock the thread.
I hope the OP of this post will realize that this type of posting will eventually result in locking this thread = locking a thread means censorship.
Crazy, I am pleading with you to please look at how many of your previous posts have been locked. Remember, locking a post equals censorship. Please do NOT force the moderators to begin this course of action because once it begins it will NOT end.

发布者For those begging the moderators to do something, their agenda is also very clear.

发布者The agenda is very clear as it is clear to what is happening in the last few decades all over the world; To normalize the abnormal. For those who still have the courage to call a spade a spade, I applaud you. For the corwards who hide behind political correctness, you have that right, just as those who state the obvious have a right to free speech on this forum. If this was an article on the Rocky Horror Picture Show coming to China, then the attire is appropriate. This person obviously wanted attention, well he got it. Once again the same issue comes to surface. All humans have the right to do as they please as long as they are not harming others. Clearly, this man has the right to dress as he pleases because he is NOT harming anyone. People have the right to keep private what is private just as they have the right to make public those things which are private. It is obvious that this man knew exactly what he was doing when he submitted this picture. The agenda is clear whether you agree or not. He wanted attention and he got it. If he usually dresses like this in public as some people here have already mentioned than it is not the first time and he knows exactly what he is doing and he does this on purpose and with a goal in mind.

发布者Bjtokm - I agree with you and your comments as your are merely pointing out the obvious, the pink elephant in the living room, the emperor with no clothes, or the man dressed in drag. I see no judgement made on your part. You just were the first to make an observation. The name calling began when others started calling you childish and unintelligent. As for the ridiculous comment about you putting your own picture online, I find that comment irrelevant and absurd. I am sure if you posted your picture online you would not put a picture of you in your underwear, or naked or dressed in drag. You never mocked the appearance of this person you just asked a very obvious question.
Kunming ranks fifth nationally in expat poll
发布者Well said Geogramatt! I have been living in KMG for 10 years and there is so much to see here. I just got back from Mengzi and the old train stations there are wonderful. Great for those who love history and trains.
