Yes, we 'choose' to (new age, namby-pamby double speak if you ask me) take umbrage because some posters post mean-spirited, offensive sentiments.

Filial piety
is a very familiar term in the West today.

As I said, FP is also not a term that crops up in Chinese writings or speeches; but for me to see it being practiced in some of my family was a nice surprise for me. So tough if you want to keep on haggling over the facts presented.
It is practiced, for a variety of motivational factors, by children all over the world. I am not haggling over facts, merely explaining why you seem to stumble into every pitfall.

What article are you referring to? The one k1w1 posted (since that was our topic)? Another? Then why not refer to it by name instead of 'a revealing article in the press about the characteristic behaviour of trolls in the press today.' Your posts are very confusing since you talk around the issue and never directly. What trolls are you talking about? Do you realize that in this scenario, that you'd be considered a troll?

I have not been rude, simply direct and everyone has a bias, that's human nature. And with thousands of posts to my credit, my presence here should not be surprising.

You're too much Annie! A little self-awareness goes a long way. I'd ask yourself some tough questions about why and how you've found yourself backed into your corner and you just may learn something.
