> [@bottledblondjeanie](#): > > oftentimes she uses her experiences to make points that may or may not be correct, but who can dispute them-she lived there. There’s not many dopers from china and cameroon so she must be the authority. China is a big country, and africa is a big continent, but she’s been known to include her opinions based on experiences to extend to the whole of china and africa. She’s entitled to do so, but her experiences should be given less weight in those situations. exactly! **exactly!** Of course every single one of the billion people in China must hate Tibetans with a passion because one of even\_sven’s students mentioned something ignorant about Tibetans once! Of course Tibetans must be horribly oppressed by Han because the police station is the tallest building in Lhasa! Of course China is a horrible racist country on par with Manifest Destiny-era America! The proof? Someone once looked in one of even\_sven’s books to see if it had a picture of the Dalai Lama in it! OMFG!!! ---

If I remember correctly I had one short coupla posts tiff with **sven** (if it was her, it might have been another similar young lady doper). But by and large I’ve found her to be, though young and sometimes a bit shortsighted and typical for her age, a reasonably fun doper, smart, and generally having good input. So what if she carries on and brags a bit about her time overseas? That IS something to be rather proud of, most of us won’t get to do that in our lifetimes. And as she matures, she’ll learn to tone down the “bragginess” of her Cameroon stories, that’s just being young. Maybe I’ve missed the posts where she behaved in such a way as to raise the ire of some of the other dopers, and yeah her advice to \*\*lezlers \*\* was a bit harsh (though things tend to look much harsher in print than they’re intended in real life) but I don’t think she warrants a scolding such as she got. Just my 2 cents. ---

For what it’s worth, I love your posts, **even sven** - I find them fascinating and hell, I find your life fascinating. Very cool stuff and you’re doing good work for the world- good on you. When I read that original thread, I was blown away by the attacks on you. I mean, that shit just came completely from left field. ---

I would just like to mention once more, for the record, that I never mentioned Cameroon. I had no idea she went there. Hell, I don’t even know where Cameroon _is_. All I know is there’s elephants there. I said exactly what irritated me about **sven** ’s posts and owned the fact that I was biased against her based on past posts, which I also explained. This passive aggressive shit is being aimed at the wrong person, if you ask me. I may have been a bitch in my posts, but there was nothing passive aggressive about them. ---

I sure wasn’t sitting here waiting for someone to call **sven** out for talking about Cameroon too much, especially not in a thread where she hadn’t even mentioned the subject. I wasn’t waiting for it either, but I do kind of roll my eyes when she mentions Cameroon/China again, sometimes in threads where it makes no sense. That’s really the extent of it, because you’re right, even sven is good peeps, but I think a few people who think like I do saw an opening and jammed their virtual foot in their virtual mouth.
