We all already know of your hatred, so a comment from you is to be expected, LOL!

Wow! I'll have to say hello. We played a 12s tournament when we were 9. Both got to the semis of singles. Won the dubs. I don't know how or why I remember this, hahah.

Anyway, awfully good guy. Great player, obviously.

If you're from the East, then you would know his best friend from back then and still today, Keith? He runs a big TTP on the Island. Play anymore?

You remember because that's what tennis players do! We can't remember where we placed our car keys 10 minutes ago but we remember the score, the huge point, where we went to eat after in a junior match that we played 35 years ago!

In other words, you have no answer, because it is obvious that what you are saying is ridiculous?

I ask again, to whom did the other poster direct "hatred" in his post?

Jigglypuff, I see that another poster has characterized your remarks as "massively racist anti-Asian stereo-typical hate speech". This other poster is the same one who called Troy a "rah-rah school for chimpanzees" in the Foreign College Students thread yesterday.

I want you to know that I do not agree with that other poster. I find your remarks reasonable, non-racist, non-demeaning, non-elitist, non-reflective of a superiority complex.......and I think you make a useful point.

I hope you will not be intimidated by that other poster's remarks and that you will continue to post up your own thoughts early and often!

I was just pointing out the irony. He went all emo.

Some people just need to be the know it all, even when they are wrong. Sorry TM, calling it like I see it.

No prob...we're cool.

But ClarkC is on record for making and supporting anti-Asian/anti-Chinese speech. It's that simple.
