Notable death

The post that was quoted here has been removed

I don't read any "major Chinese newspapers". So I'd have to Google it and think of the right words and Boolean operators to get fruitful hits from a search. However, I'm a bit busy at the moment.

I'd say those native Chinese speakers in your story are certainly entitled to their opinions. I think you are trying to engineer some sort of accusation [?] or conjure up some sort offence against you [?] or maybe against others [?], but you haven't hit the target yet. Keep trying if that's what you want to do.

I just think it's a notable death, that's all. I have made no claim along the lines of x is more notable than y, or a is less notable than b. You are trying too hard to be pugnacious. It isn't working.

I don't give two hoots what major Chinese newspapers have or haven't done. It doesn't affect this thread on this message board.

Note that the arrogant Westerner FMF apparently agrees that the opinions of two other arrogant Westerners that they are speaking perfect Chinese must be at least as valid as the judgments of every Chinese native speaker that these Westerners are speaking gibberish.

See the thread entitled "Apparently".

Where have I "argued" this? What "racism" am I supposedly "showing"? Against whom? You?

"FMF (showing his racism) apparently argues..."

There's that word again.

Note that the troll FMF prefers to support, of course, his fellow Westerners. So, if FMF has his own subjective opinion that he speaks perfect Chinese, then surely he must speak perfect Chinese, right? Even if no native speaker can understand FMF's gibberish, surely FMF must be perfectly qualified to act as a professional Chinese-English interpreter, right?

Blimey!
