Derogatory or insulting remarks will not be tolerated. This applies to all corners of the site - including posts, profile visitor messages, and thread tags."
"3) Disagree, don't attack. Disagree on topics, but try to leave it at that. Just because you don't like someone's opinion on the car's engine, doesn't mean you should call him and his mother all sorts of names Disagreements are awesome, and you should call someone on something you don't agree with, but don't go out of your way to insult and flame someone. Please consider if you would say to someone's face the same thing you are posting."[/I]

Now read again your post, in Chinese, about BJ1M ( "All I can say is that you're a bad person" - http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showp...43&postcount=2). That was no serene way of expressing your point of view (style and contents), don't you think so ? |
no, 人品不好 is a common way in chinese to say you have bad karma, and most often is treated as a joke.
if he took it wrong, i apologize, but we use that often. translators don't translate slangs very well.
