Need to stop bashing eunuch k for how long more ? Any time line ?

when you cannot get any fun or emotional release or euphoria bashing the holy deacon, just quit. Then move to your next target or topic of interest.

My main topic of interest is islam, this one is side interest.

Dear team,
I have found a new candidate to continue @Dongyi 's failed mission as an undercover.

There was no ‘mission’ to accomplish in the first place. And acknowledging the evidence of his faith and the cogency of his arguments should not be dismissed as merely currying favor.

Deacon is a senior management figure in the company, not a grammar teacher paid to police this forum. He went beyond the call of duty to help improve the standard of writing here, yet despite not paying a single cent for the extra effort he took, we turned around and bit the hand that helped us instead.​

Reverend,
You must be stone blind to think the deacon is really that kind hearted. The truth is, whenever he spotted and corrected a grammatical error, his self-esteem will raise by 0.99cm. Secondly, he is expecting gratitude in return.

The word "undercover" is an unintentional misconstrued by me due to my poor command of inggris. Actually, every samster is an undercover as we don't know the real identity of each other.

Will you still want to curry favor the deacon?

If someone makes a grammatical error, that is simply a fact. If another person corrects it, that too is a fact. And if the person who made the mistake learns from the correction, his writing improves; if everyone learns from their mistakes, the overall standard of writing in the forum improves. On this, I believe we can agree.

The next question is whether the deacon corrects someone’s grammar out of a desire for a 0.99 cm increase in self-esteem, or in expectation of gratitude. Yet once we shift from examining outcomes to questioning the motives of the person who brings about a positive outcome, we inevitably enter the realm of speculation.

And speculation is rarely neutral. It is shaped by our prior perceptions of the person in question. If we regard him favorably, we tend to affirm the value of his actions; if we regard him unfavorably, the outcome remains the same, but the credit is withheld.

But then another question arises: why does the person being corrected sometimes refuse to grant even this modest 0.99 cm increase in the corrector’s self-esteem? Is it because he feels his own self-esteem has been diminished by the same measure or because recognition itself has become something to withhold, as though it were a scarce resource rather than a simple acknowledgment of fact? ​

Does rocket drive his Grab car to JB every Friday to pump petrol? Does he also pump underaged prostitutes in JB? I suspected he is a paedophile all along.

My point is simple: even Aristotle can be wrong, and we can still learn from him. Unless you are God, not everything you say will be correct; yet even someone who is often mistaken will not be wrong about everything. As the saying goes, “The wise may err, and the foolish may sometimes be right” or, in Chinese, “智者千虑，必有一失；愚者千虑，必有一得”.

We must learn to sift the pebbles from the stones. ​

I should note that @True Believer is not the only member of this forum who has corrected someone else’s grammatical errors. Another member, @Charlie99, has done the same, but did not appear to receive the same level of backlash—possibly because he is not from ACS.

For instance, Boss has also corrected distinctions such as “advise” versus “advice,” and it was generally taken in good spirit, with no suggestion that he was trying to put anyone down.

If you are accustomed to playing as a striker, taking on an unfamiliar role may result in your teammates correcting you as you adjust to the new position. However, the important thing is not to let pride get in the way, otherwise you risk missing the opportunity to develop new skills and gain experience in a different role.

When we react emotionally to a correction, we often place ego above everything else. If the person who corrected you had good intentions, an emotional outburst does them a disservice; if their intentions were less than sincere, it may only give them further satisfaction.

​

I believe that the people who react negatively to having their English corrected perceive it as not a purely educational act. To those lacking confidence, such corrections feel like personal criticisms that threaten their ego, intelligence and reputation, even though no one uses his actual name on this forum.

what is NorthLight? For my ITC, I dropout of it

NorthLight School is my alma mater. I spent 6 years.

wiki:
Northlight School (Chinese: 北烁学校) is a school located along Towner Road, in Kallang, Singapore. It was established by the Ministry of Education (MOE) for students with difficulties handling the mainstream curriculum in the country. The school started its operations formally in January 2007 to assist students at risk of dropping out of school. The school admits students who have attempted and failed the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) at least once. The school also accepts those who have yet to complete secondary education.
