Guangdong Peizheng College / Pei Zheng College

[johnpz]

This is typical of the kind of bickering and arguing that goes on when you get a diverse group of older people (late 30s-late 50s) together in China with a lot of time on their hands. Everyone's a know-it-all.

If you come to this school, stay clear of this. PZ has younger people, but not many.

Don't even think about coming to PZ if you are a single girl. The guys at PZ will take anything they can get, but it wouldn't be anything you would want.

[truthiness]

Bingo! This is typical of the bickering. TheTruth is basically just trying to take away the central theme of the thread, which is wrongdoings by the college.

TheTruth doesn't seem like a person who socialized. More like some kind of asocial loner. Peizheng IS suitable for this kind of person.

Btw, if you a guy, PZ is also not suitable for you because there are no women for you here. Are you a monk who is not a real teacher? Are you a loner? Cool! Come and do 12 years here!

Stay away from Peizheng because of the unusually high number of antisocial and asocial types here.

[TheTruth]

To the previous poster:

Perhaps you are myopic. I refer you to page one of this thread. There is no line-of-thought anywhere that has been set in stone that says the topic of the thread must, will and will only be the misdeeds of the College Administration.

That is the agenda that you and your multiple personalities wish to further, on this site, and on others.

There is another, far greater story, and that is the wickedness and the perversion of a good percentage of the foreign teachers at the College.

The name of the College should be changed to

....."Guangzhou Division, Betty Ford Clinic".......

because that is essentially what it is and what it has been and what it may yet be.

There have been instances of drunken foreign teachers passed out on the parkway near the reflecting pool; there have been other instances of druggies so drugged and so creepy as to instill fear in those around; and then there is of course the all-too-famous male pervert who saught to debauch as many of the male basketball players of the College team as he could.

The list goes on-and-on-and-on.

I have left out the missionaries, who while trying to do good by saving China for capitalism and J.C., in a Western-version, also felt it necessary to report every instance of ill-begotten behaviour to Karl Wang or to his enforcer.

I have left out Dr. C., now departed the College, who when less-than-sober, which was more-than-always, would rip to pieces the first foreign teacher that would cross her swerving path.

It has been a rich broth of the worst-of-the-worst.

And it continues with the Gang of Three on this thread.

[ThirdView]

"Thirdview throws dirt at Peizheng."

I didn't condemn the school. I condemned the behavior of 3 of its managers.

[truthiness]

The Truth is starting to appear to be worse than those we are accusing of rude, unacceptable, and illegal behavio(u)r.

TheTruth, you obviously have some serious mental problem.

Teachers! Stay away from Peizheng! There is a psychopath on the loose there who hates foreign teachers. Some of us think we know who he/she is.


He/she claims to have been in China for 12 years.
He/she apparently doesn't frequent the Magick Cafe.
He/she hates foreign teachers.

This person, if not Karl Wan, Arthur, or Max, seems to be even MORE DEPRAVED!

I can't believe I work at a place with somebody like this. THIS IS CREEPY!

Seriously, we need to find out who this douche is.

"Thirdview throws dirt at Peizheng."

Ditto here. PEIZHENG ITSELF IS NOT GOOD - IT'S GREAT.

It's scummy management, some creepy foreigners and the very high number of rats that make it an absolute avoid.

It may be time to tell Arthur and Karl about this thread, if they don't already know about it. This thread can act as a warning to them to clean up their act. And a warning to be careful who they hire.

Gimme an alcoholic anyday over TheTruth. Damn! Gimme Max Long over this creep.

Gang of three? There is no gang of three. We are all one person, aren't we, EinsteinTruth?

This is disinformation at its most base. As Queen Victoria said -- "from the gutter (排水沟) into the sewer (下水道)." 你明白吗？

Firstly, It is irrelevant whether one frequents or does not frequent a place known for the transitting of illegal activities. It is perhaps more morally propitious (吉祥) and befitting (合意) of a teacher that one does not. 你明白吗？

Secondly, one does not need to like or dislike foreign teachers. That is not a preamble (前言) to being a competent teacher and it is hardly de rigueur (必需) for being well-received in China. 你明白吗？

One has the freedom and the ability to distinguish alcoholics (酗酒者), miscreants (歹徒), druggies (瘾君子), etc., etc., from nominally (名义上)-sane dedicated teachers, particularly in China. We are all imbued (充满) with the ability (能力) to reason and to make determination -- at least most of us are. 你明白吗？

Thirdly, depraved (堕落) is in the eyes of the beholder (仁者见仁) and your opinion of me is totally irrelevant (无关). 你明白吗？

What is not irrelevant is the smear campaign (运动) that you have waged against Max Long, Karl Wang and Arthur X., stopping at nothing in your runaway vengeance (复仇) to sow discord (不和), to further lies, to set loose scandal (丑闻), etc., etc., and to smear and to tar (涂片和焦油) anyone that gets in your way. In other words, when you can no longer reason, or when your reason has become clouded (阴云密布), you resort to baseless (毫无根据) ad hominems (广告人身攻击). Someone might say that such behaviour (行为)is cheap and gutter-like, truly. I will just maintain a dignified silence (凝重的沉默) and say nothing.

Perhaps you like living ultra vires (越权). Somehow, somehow, it appears to be your modus operandi (手法).

[truthiness]

Quid fit this creep, this pretentious, dangerous creep in our midst, now using Latin and Chinese words to show off in an English-language forum?

--------------------

Et tu, Vere?

TheTruth, tu ineptum, who are you? What are you? You say you don't care what I think, but it's obvious you do. You and your strangely obnoxious and noisy dignified silence. This forum is NOT a place for you to study Chinese characters or show off Latin words.

Labra lege - you are a wretched waste of space stuck in Peizheng. No-one will hire you in your own country. Afraid of venturing anywhere else. Afraid the workload might be too heavy for you. Afraid there won't be anybody to hate so much.

You reject your own kind in favour of the locals and still you don't speak their language, you sad little git. You spend your time alone in your room - nullo modo will you socialise with anyone. Instead you have your beady little eyes in some book all evening while others are doing what is natural - chatting with colleagues. Even drunkards have human qualities. You are another entity altogether.

You are a parasite, living off the FTs. Raging against them. Your sine qua non is to rail against them. You can't function without them. You are obsessed with them. You are a threat to them. You work against them. You work against your own colleagues. You low-life pond scum.

You are not Max Long. He doesn't have the skill set to write how you do. You are somebody else. Somebody who doesn't hang out with the others. A recluse. Some perverted future axe-murderer.

You are the type who would spit on a rape victim.

All decent people of PZ! Rapere parasitus! 抓住寄生虫!

[puzzlebox]

I will just maintain a dignified silence (凝重的沉默) and say nothing.

The Truth Is:

Truth; You have not kept silent one bit through this entire thread. You continue to post your opinions (and make false accusations) as if you are the epitome of Truth! We can surely banter all day and night here with you if that's what you want. And, it does seem that is really why you are here. Are you unable to voice your opinions face to face with others about your feelings toward them or the college? Is it easier for you to spread your crap here on the net and not have to clean up after yourself? If you have a problem with all the FTs at PZ, then why are you still there? Are you still there? And, why is it that when you are called out on your crap; you never respond directly to the questions asked of you? What in the world (want to say WTF) is your problem? If you are still at PeiZheng teaching, then why? I have not been sleeping at night, wondering about this!

[puzzlebox]

Also for Truth, the most unreasonable poster (poser) here. You post here as "school admin". What's that all about? If you are admin at PZ; that leaves you to be One of only a few people there. I'm no math whiz, but Something here just doesn't add up.

[truthiness]

Everybody pile on TheTruth! PILE-ON!!!!!

Yeah, this TheTruth person is a liar. He/she perhaps thinks he/she is admin. Sucks up to the sicko admin just to keep his job, afraid of being sent away back to his/her home country where NO job waits and afraid of having to leave PZ and actually earn his/her money.

PZ is chokka with people deathly afraid of work, and lots of pretend-real-teachers too.

"Look at me! I study Chinese! I can do calligraphy and Chinese proverbs. I fit into the narrow little mold set for me by the Chinese. I keep to the razor-thin-narrow stereotype of what a foreigner should do in China and I do my dirty business (go on "dates" and get massages) in Huadu like the local Chinese do, so I can look squeaky-clean for my job, which is being a white guy. I even pretend to have ins with the local Chinese. (Uh, which proves I know zero about China.)"

Yeah, it's not about being clean but looking clean - he/she/it has picked that up here. Who lives in China for a decade and then desperately shows off his/her/its Chinese "prowess" by cutting and pasting some Chinese translations from Google? I mean this guy/girl/thing is truly sick.

Spends a decade in China and doesn't even speak Chinese and tries to take some kind of moral high ground on an online forum.

Sorry, I don't know enough Latin, so I'm a douche I suppose. I had better shut up before I stick my foot in it again.

BTW, this thread is about how the admin at VNIVERSITATVS Peizheng is stealing money and it's also about Maximus Longus, the supervisor of Program B.

We won't let Truthus Einsteinus the Latin brown-nose take us off course.

Truthus douchus est.

[TheTruth]

The last two-or-three posts have been absolutely psychotic -- which is why perhaps, the College, in its infinite wisdom, decided to terminate someone involved in these posts. Crass, vulgar, small-town, small-minded, uneducated and lower class cheap little white-guy shots, no question about it. Anyway, as someone said yesterday, from the gutter into the sewer and there we are and there he (they) is (are).

If one reads carefully the long diatribes that have been put up about PZ by this certain poster, they are, as Shakespeare would have written, much ado about nothing. Personal conflicts, scheduling issues, culture shock in China, inability to be flexible, and worst of all, a white, poobah, colonialist, imperialist attitude of how things should be done here in China.

To MESL and all of his identities, this is not Shanghai 1933 anymore and we are not living in the International Settlement. China does things as China does things and it is not your purview to lecture any Chinese about anything that they do. You were exited from the College because of your attitudes and conduct and I am sure that you have been exited from other schools in China for the same reasons. You are not in a position to give orders to anyone and your cheap muckraking, only to cover up the serious and well-established charges of professional malfeasance and moral turpitude that were directed against you and which resulted in your termination, will end where it started -- nowhere. Your bellicose verbal attacks are nothing more than a diversionary tactic to cover up the reasons for your being exited with such record speed -- you were "chopped meat" after less than six weeks at the school. Nearly a record!

I am reasonably sure (like 100%) that if you remain in China and as the Chinese schools do, your new school will contact your old school (as they all do these days), that Peizheng will give your new school an earful. I absolutely (like 100%) would not want to be in your shoes, particularly with everything that you have written all over the web.

This is China, after all, and I think that you are about to discover how difficult, in a silent Chinese way, life can become for a person who goes out of his or her way to do what you have been doing.

Oh, and don't worry -- Karl and Arthur do INDEED have all of your posts -- everyone single one of them. I can assure you of that. I am sure that they are closely following the claims of the two posters who have written that they are staying in the school. I also would not want to be in their shoes, provided of course, that they are real persons and part of anyone's myriad personalities. They will be invited for a little "chat", a far less than little pleasant chat. After all, MESL, it's not hard to discover whom your friends at the College were, even without spoofing an ISP. So the noose draws tighter.

[puzzlebox]

To the previous poster "Truth".

I would certainly like to know why you consider my posts as psychotic? Once again you are unable to reply and only misdirect!

At times, you actually bring up some good points, yet you are too quick to attack others here if they don't agree with you. If you have really been in China for 12 years, I'm sure there is some strange reason for that. And if you have been at PZ for 12 years, then I am truly baffled as to why.

Your views would be taken more seriously, if you kept your begrudging opinions, of other teachers/directors as well as the fabrications you tend to weave, to yourself and not use this thread to express what is only true for you.

I quote myself with a few additional thoughts added:

The Truth is:

You have not kept silent one bit through this entire thread. You continue to post your opinions (and make false accusations) as if you are the epitome of Truth! What gives you the right to do so?

We can surely banter all day and night here with you if that's what you want. And, it does seem that is really the reason why you are here. You attack other posters with a vicious manner in a vain attempt to discredit all other viewpoints other than your own. And now, you threaten posters here with the hammer of Thor (Karl and Arthur) trying to frighten us into keeping silent and hiding in our caves in fear of losing our jobs. You "TRUTH" have also posted negative remarks concerning the PZ admin. And yet, in the same breath, you side with them. You truly seem to be very confused.

So I ask you again: Are you unable to voice your opinions face to face with others about your feelings toward them or the college? Is it easier for you to spread your crap here on the net and not have to clean up after yourself?

If you have a problem with all the FTs at PZ, then why are you still there? Are you still there? If you are still at PeiZheng teaching, then please enlighten us here and tell us why!!

And, why is it that when you are called out on your crap; you never respond directly to the questions asked of you? What in the world (want to say WTF) is your problem? Why do you feel it necessary to constantly misdirect the issues? If you are going to fling statements (you have made here) carelessly into the wind; sorry, but some of that crap is going to fly back to you!

Truth, you are certainly the most volatile and unreasonable poster (poser) here. You post here as "school admin". What's that all about?

If you are admin at PZ; that leaves you to be One of only a few people there. I'm no math whiz, but Something here just doesn't add up. I have not been sleeping at night, wondering about this!

As I have stated here before: If Karl "the wang" and his cronies at the FAO actually knew HOW to hire foreign teachers in the first place; Almost all of the FT behavioral problems would most likely have never existed !!! That's the Real Truth!

Having read all the posts; past and the most recent just now, it is proven beyond a doubt that PeiZheng is clearly NOT a place to begin your career as a real FT in China. It may be great place for some laughs and tall stories to spread, for about a term or so; but that's about it.

All that is happening now with this thread; is we are letting serious teachers and possible new comers (with half a brain) know that PeiZheng is definitely not a place to consider! However, we are now advertising to the criminally insane that PZ would be heaven for them!

[TheTruth]

To the previous poster,

I did read all of your posts on all of your blogs. It required a massive dose of caffeine as they were and are far from entertaining. Actually, they are rather mundane, tedious and downright boring.

Nonetheless, it was interesting to look over the Class of 2010 (?) picture taken in front of the library. You have placed an "X" on a person that you have identified as Max Long. Are you not mistaken? In my opinion, that person looks rather much like the previous Program B. director, Mark the New York and Los Angeles Man.

The picture is not clear so it is impossible to make out all of the faces. Is that Marla and her husband Kirk way up in the back? I often wonder if his full health has ever returned to him after what happened (nice people both of them). I can see Anna the Polish lady in the front row and her husband John O. behind her. Karl Wang, Arthur, David, the new President, the previous Program B director, the current Program A director are all easily visible in the front. Karl's bearded boy toy is also very visible in the picture but I will not say where as to avoid him public shame at being the leader's boy toy. I can see the old Canadian guy who has been around for ages and is a really nice guy (Bob. S. (his initials) in the middle of the picture. He has a charming Indonesian wife whose first name begins with M. I can see the two Brazilian twin sisters (one is a Canadian citizen now, I think) and since neither are native speakers, it belays the fact that the College only hires native speakers (one lives in Ottawa, Canada, the other lives in Estado do Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil). In the way on top one can see Daddy Teddie and his boy from Los Angeles, with whom neither of which I maintain close relations and both of whom are quite productive for the benefit of the College. One day I should entertain you with the story of how Karl canned the boy's Canadian girlfriend who disappeared from the College for a long, long weekend and then was denounced by a person still in the picture as being AWOL. She was literally thrown on the street but that was before your time. In the front to the right are the Japanese teachers with whom I am able to speak Japanese. Bob E., the previous Program B director who was canned by Karl for being too old (that was only a cover-up after someone, I think Max, reported his private life to Karl who adjuged it to be unfit). Poor B. really became terribly bloated after those several years at Peizheng. I do know that he eats spaghetti as a staple -- nearly every meal! As for the imprevious Kim Max L., where is he? He is not the X and I can't see him somewhere else in this picture. There is one rather rotund, rather elderly red-haired lady in the second row. I have never spoken with her, not a word. She looks so much like Kelly de S. but Kelly left with Farr so I just can't place this one nor recall her name. No interaction, no contact, no name.

I cannot make out the other faces owing to the quality of the picture. Thank you for posting all of this.

One of your sites it not available here in China.

You will notice that I was very gracious and did not identify you publicly in order to save you further opprobrium and humiliation.

[johnpz]

Why did you go into a tirade about the people in the picture at PZ? I don't understand the purpose.

I let a few people look at this forum that are both current and previous employees of PZ. We unanimously guessed that the identity of The Truth must be Paul from New Zealand.

If it is Paul, then this is a guy that most people do not see and can't really recognize on campus. He does not go to any social events either organized by the school associations or by other teachers. A few people I talked to from Prog A said they have seen him a few times in passing and he's never been polite enough to say a cordial "Hi". I always assumed that he just valued personal space more than most. If The Truth is Paul, I now know the truth.

From these posts, my personal opinion is that "The Truth" is: this guy's a lunatic.

(Play on words, guy. Far better than randomly inserting latin and Chinese from Google Translate into the post.)

[truthiness]

I hope it isn't Paul. I have had only positive experiences with him so far.

But I suppose it could be. But as ThirdView said, let's not say it's definitely Paul. But sure, people do have more extreme views when incognito.

Bottom-line, we can't say it's him or start dragging people's names through the mud without proof.

TheTruth appears to be admin in cahoots with someone, technically-speaking perhaps Teacher P (but hopefully not). But at the end of the day who do we really truly know?

--

From the weird tirade (= admin's diversion from the topic) about the photo:

TheTruth: ...I can see the old Canadian guy who has been around for ages and is a really nice guy (Bob. S. (his initials) in the middle of the picture. He has a charming Indonesian wife whose first name begins with M. I can see the two Brazilian twin sisters (one is a Canadian citizen...

Is this a bad translation of Chinese? HAS BEEN AROUND? The guy is DEAD. Bob S. (his initials)???? What do you mean "his initials"? NON-NATIVE-SPEAKER behind at least part of this post. Typical Chinese management - can't let the native speaker do all the translating and now they are exposed. Hahahaha. Pathetic.

You know what? I'll tell you what. It's possible TheTruth is NOT Paul, but another native speaker and/or translator hired by Karl Wang. It looks like something got lost in translation here, or that P translated/wrote some material but that the material was supplemented by material written by a non-native-English-speaker.

In short: Photo tirade written by a Chinese, and by who if not admin?

How is a DEAD GUY "is" instead of "was"? "Has" instead of "had"?

THETRUTH = ADMIN IN CAHOOTS WITH SOMEBODY

[johnpz]

Bob S... In my opinion, handled in such a heartless and manipulative way.

This guy worked at PZ for around 7 years. He gets sick and the administration fired him for breach of contract. Then, talks about moving his wife out of their apartment reach the ears of the foreign teachers. Fast forward a few weeks, Bob passes away.

Karl send an email to all of the employees telling them that he personally gave Bob's wife a sum of money given to employees' beneficiaries in case of death.

There IS a clause in the contract that states the contract will be canceled if the employee has serious health conditions. Also, the contract states the amount of money that will be given in case of death: 1200RMB. Not even 200 US dollars. An amount that can't cover any hospital bills, funeral arrangements, or even to fly the body back home.

Although nothing was done that was technically illegal or out of line, and many could argue that it's lucky for Bob's wife to have gotten anything at all; I just found the whole situation to be pretty heartless. Especially for Karl to send an email after the whole ordeal and pretend that he is such a caring person.

This is typical of the kind of manipulative management style experienced at PZ.

I'd like to see the amount of money that he PERSONALLY donated to Bob's wife.

[truthiness]

Bob S. rest in peace. A sane person in Peizheng. A good man. But remember, we are in China, and as Admin/TheTruth might say:

They can do anything they want. It's all valid, because it's their country.

Admin/TheTruth thinks one thing. "Foreign teachers are inept."

I'm putting words into the mouths of others, but damn, don't those words fit good? I'd say they're fittin' mighty fine.

[TheTruth]

Let's leave Paul from New Zealand out of this, shall we. As long as I have known Paul, I can honestly say that he avoids these kind of rancorous affairs in all cases. He was caught up in one years ago and that burned him. So sorry to disappoint you and now you will have to look extra hard for your victim.

Concerning dear Scobie, I was referring only to what and to whom I saw in the picture at that moment in time, nothing more nothing less. Yes, indeed, I am also shocked an appalled by the behaviour of Karl in this instance. I meant what I said that he was (excuse the tense) an excellent, excellent fellow and that there was no end to his kindness, to his hospitality, etc, etc. I warned him and warned him against Karl in many conversations in his apartment across the road and I even secured a exceptionally well-paid position for him in his field -- business and accounting -- at one of the best universities in GZ, with a salary and perks higher than that and than those of PZ. In the end, however, another nasty trick by Karl intervened to prevent him from leaving and this is a story that few know and which I tell.

During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which is BEFORE the Gang-of-Three around here came to the school, the Guangzhou PSB was being very, very strict with visas. In many cases, visas were denied to prospective PZ teachers because of Karl's ineptitude and the ineptitude of the then FAO, Farr. Karl took no interest in the visa process of his teachers. Scobie's renewal was issued with no problem but his poor, poor wife was ordered deported home because Karl, that slime, reported to the PSB that he as FAO Director did not believe that it was a real marriage. So poor Maya was deported to Indonesia and there she sat for the better part of one year until after numerous interventions by the Canadian Consul General in Guangzhou (not the Consulate but the Consul General himself) and the Indonesian Ambassador in Beijing, she was at long, long last granted a visa ... an "F" visa for six-months at a time. Karl showed no misericordiousness in this at all. He would not intervene and he just lied and lied to poor Bob.
And it was at that time that Bob landed an RMB 16,000 + a month job teaching specialised courses at the most prestigious university in Guangzhou (and also one of the best in China) and unfortunately he had to refuse it.

So indeed may dear Bob rest with the angels and with all the saints of heaven.

And termination, if properly done, can only be paid after one-month's sick leave and a determination by a proper doctor from Guangzhou that he could have not returned to work ever.

And here I will tell you another story that I have partially-mentioned to show you what a liar and what a disgusting Karl is, in agreement with all of you. This has to do with the one month's illness period.

There was Daniel DeV., a truly not stable American who caused no end of problems at the College, including throwing bicycles in the river, assaulting random Chinese on the street, throwing buckets of water at passers-by near his apartment, etc., etc. The list of those he assaulted was endless. Karl refused to fire him. Then this Daniel goes to a public-house in Shenzhen (in the Chinese meaning and not in the Western-meaning) and after a long weekend (according to the police) at the public house, simply refuses to pay the bill. The pimp-on-duty beat him bloody and he was returned to the College, nearly inert, incontinent and non-ambulatory, in a blanket a la the Godfather. Karl, in his confused state, took pity and for two-or-three months, this Daniel DeV. did NOT work at all and he languished in his room, where he was waited on hand-and-foot by some of the persons still in the picture you posted on the Internet. AND KARL PAID HIS SALARY FOR ALL OF THIS TIME, yes, indeed, and the school held and waived the electricity / water, etc,. etc. charges. Totally unlike poor Bob. Totally. As soon as Daniel became ambulatory, what did he do? He went to the Bu Bu Gao down the road from the College and assaulted the cashier, truly like a madman. Then he went to the Huadu, the same day, and assaulted a passer-by, hailed a taxi with the passer-by's money and returned to the College. The Huadu police and the PSB called Karl and told Karl that they had identified Daniel and they were coming to arrest him. What did Karl do? Daaaaaaaaaaaa..he called Daniel DeV. in his apartment and told him that the police would be there in twenty minutes to arrest him. Now I ask you -- was that dumb or was that dumb? Or was it intentional? In any case, Daniel fled to Guangzhou Airport on the first minibus and somehow, somehow, being miraculously recovered, arrived safely in Thailand, where he resides to this day.

What the different in how Karl handled these two situations? I have no idea. Maybe you all have a better idea than I do.

Bob upheld honor and dignity and hard work for the entire time that he was at the school. He was kind to all who sought his counsel and his home was always welcoming. And in return for all of this, Karl was just degenerate.

Daniel, on the other hand, was the lowest of the low, and brought shame and disgrace to the College, to all American teachers in China, etc., etc., and Karl went out-of-his way to protect him, to care for him, etc., etc.

And then there was B., a Canadian guy with level 2 or 3 diabetes, a truly great, great guy. B. had a severe diabetic seizure in his apartment and everyone heard (he was a big guy) and Paul was his neighbor. He hit the floor unconscious, all 250 pounds of him. Everyone called Karl who refused to do anything at all and said that Farr would take care of it on Monday (this was Saturday). By the time the concerned neighbors, not the administration, were able to enter the apartment by crawling over balconies, etc., etc. the poor guy was in a coma and at death's door step. And Karl, that sh*t, never even bothered to explain his way out of that one. B. was remanded to the Intensive Care Unit at the best hospital in Guangzhou and with the help of the Consulate he survived but only barely.

What did Karl do? He fired him immediately and put all of this things in storage. When the family finally arrived from Canada, Karl had some glib excuse. And worse, he even told the Consulate that B. was a drunk (hardly, hardly ever drank).

Now your dear Paul was involved in both of these in not good ways -- first of all, he was in deep with this Daniel creature and knew what was going on. That was bad. On the other hand, it was Paul's diligence that saved B.'s life, when Karl simply didn't care.

And no, I am decidedly not Paul. And perhaps I am not even a male. So you are quite wrong, me thinketh.

And thus now you can understand my DEEP, DEEP revulsion to Karl's boy-toy whom he uses to gratify himself in a hotel in Huadu and who benefits from all kinds of special perks at the College (and don't be blinded -- just open your eyes).

The College is really beautiful. The students are really sweet, most of them, even if they are quite challenged learners.

But Karl is the incarnation of evil.

And for your information, and here is something else that you never knew, Karl has been permanently banned from entry to the United States of America. He is not EVEN eligible to apply for a United States visa and so he has been told. And I will let you figure out why....

[truthiness]

So, some nice morsels there, MysteryBookwriter/TheTruth/Not-Admin/"Not-Paul". Very nice, indeed.

How is your book coming along? Is it published yet?

Well, possibly "Not-Paul", I don't know what to say, except that Karl is EVEN WORSE than I thought. Holy mother of God. But this begs the question - why do you hate the teachers so much, if Karl is such a piece of work? And why would you write "his initials" (about Bob) when it's obvious? Why do you call yourself "admin"? How many pages have you managed to get done this summer?

Very very fishy.
