Mark, woah, come down, unplug the computer and take a walk around
the
building or something.
I don't think Jimbo is siding one way or another. I suggest that
you
contact a chinese linguistics professor at some fancy university
and
get his expert advice. I know Jimbo listens to the voice of
reason,
and getting all emotional is not the path.
As I noted in my previous e-mail, both myself and Stirling Newberry have quoted experts, and I have suggested reading materials.
Obviously not expert enough. Ask the Chinese embassy for an official statement.
I also think that there has not been a hard and fast rule made.
Thigs
are still in discovery mode.
It's not the decision that irritates me, it's the reasoning and what appears, at least to me, to be ignorance.
Get off your high horse and pony up half a million dollars and 5000 man hours for wikipedia and then we'll talk about ignorance.
Chinese wikipedia will sort itself out. Like they say: "Under the Manchus for 500 years, can wait 10 more."
