Forums > Living in Kunming > Scooter Shop Recommendation I thank you for inquiring to me directly. I believe asking is the best way to become informed rather then guessing or jumping to conclusions.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with your inital question. The problem was when you made the second remark. Because no one replied to your question, the post eventually made its way to the second page. Obviously, you did not like this, so you wrote BUMP to make the post climb back up to the top.
Ask yourself, what was your purpose for the second remark? If your question was legitimate, why did you NEED to put a second remark that has no meaning or purpose.
I hope this explains clearly. My other 2 replies are more detailed. They can help you understand the effect you are having on others who use this forum. I think your other posts are better examples and you need to look at all of them collectvely rather then just looking at this one post in isolation. Please look at all your posts not just this one specifically. Also, look at the replies from other members. Ask yourself, why are they so sarcastic to you? Do you see such sarcasm in other posts? Or is the sarcasm only directed to you? If so, why.
Also, go see how many of your other posts have been locked out. Ask yourself why or better yet, ask the moderators to explain why they locked you out.
I HATE censorship, I believe that everyone has the RIGHT to say anything they want as long as they are not hurting anyone else. Your posts do NOT harm others. However, the new staff at GK are not the same as the previous staff. I have never seen a thread locked before. There was no censorship before. But now, I see censorship. I can understand why the new staff is doing this. I understand their reasons, but I do NOT like it. Please try to understand that when you make remarks that they dont like, it has an effect on all of us. Once the censorship begins, it will continue and get more severe. The we all will eventually lose this wonderful resource.
I hope this helps you to understand the big picture. I repeat again, you are NOT harming anyone directly. But if your remarks cause the staff to begin to lock=censor - then we are all being harmed.
I hope you have time to meet face to face and ask about this if we do meet as was suggested in another post. I think it will benefit you greatly to hear what others have to say.
I have answered you honestly, rationally, logically and respectfully, so I hope this helps you to understand. Good luck

New high-speed rail line to link Kunming with Dali
Posted byLife in Yunnan just keeps getting better. A 2 hour train ride to Dali is a lot better then taking the 4-5 hour bus ride. Not to mention the delays when there is a traffic accident.

Posted byEveryone needs to contribute - Now it begins - Yes, we must contribute but when the population does not make their deadline (Dec 31), we must pay - another tax coming just around the corner.
Just like life insurance in the good old USA, you will pay for it whether you want it or not. If you don't pay, they just steal it out of your bank account.
Agenda 21 - controlled by the UN (1 World Govt) will be in charge.
The Global Warming Lie has now conveniently morphed into Climate Change since the weather did not cooperate with the CO2 lies.
Funny how there is no mention of the real problems in the world. The EPA raises the safety limits on poisons every year so that the multinational companies can continue to pollute and make a profit. In the meantime, we get to eat, drink and breathe more pollutants.
Snapshot: Dali and Weishan
Posted byThere are several noodle shops that are still run by very old people. I saw a beautiful OLD noodle machine (at least 50-70 years old) in one shop and I would love to buy it (Keep an eye on the obituaries). It just needs to be cleaned up because it has decades of flour stuck on it and it will make a wonderful addition to a home museum.
Weishan has not been commercialized yet. Any smart foreigner with some business savy can buy up a lot of antiques very cheaply and make a great cafe/museum/information center/guesthouse like the one in Xishuangbanna; he has his fingers in every pot.
Lots to see in the surrounding area - great place to retire, still make an income, and be the #1 laowai of the town.
Heijing offers the same.
