I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and since you asked for it, tell you why your posts sounded suspicious.

First a little background: The People's Republic of China has recruited/conscripted by some estimates over 250,000 operatives, computer experts all and in the service of the People's Liberation Army-Navy (PLAN), to wage an online information and propaganda war against western countries in general, and the U.S. in particular. Part of this massive online ChiCom (Chinese Communist) campaign involves the swaying of public opinion by infiltrating online news forums and blogs and posting comments in China-focused threads either favorable to Red China or negative against the U.S.

Consequently, the most important Conservative websites, such as Free Republic, are key targets of these "troll" infiltrators, and we see waves of infiltrators coming in on a regular basis. Last year, they came in right after the big earthquake in western China, first trying to garner sympthy and then springboard their propaganda off that sympathy. There was also a big influx right before and during the Tibetan unrest and also the Beijing Olympics.

These ChiCom trolls usually expose themselves very quickly, and can be identified by poor English skills, very recent sign-up dates, and a generally positive attitude toward Red China.

As far as your post goes, it bears all the hallmarks of a ChiCom infiltrator post, with poorly written English and over the top statements about stopping "them red chinese" and "Rotten commie chinese" (to ingratiate yourself here?). Also, in your initial post you spelled 'defense' as 'defence' which is a British spelling (Hong Kong?). And quite frankly, your post is so poorly written that is sounds very sarcastic and not serious at all. Hence, from all outward appearances, your post appears troll-like. I was not for certain, so that's why I said "possible" troll-sighting to the mod, since they have the capability of seeing exactly where you are posting from, either here in the states or in Shanghai or wherever.

Your increasingly frantic posts demanding an explanation and apology reeks of someone who is protesting too much and lent substance to my suspicions about your motives here, especially since you just joined this forum two weeks ago.

So, there you have it. That's about as blunt as I can be in answering your question.

So, if you are in fact a new poster (newbie, noob) here in good faith, then welcome aboard. Otherwise...
