Movement for change Why I banned a group of people
I have deleted the comments and banned a group of people who attacked my views on my preference for the political system in China over that of America and other democratic countries.

They said that they were challenging my views in a polite manner.

They were not. I find their comments to be rude, personal and arrogant.

They probably did not read my view as I have stated. They attacked me on the following points:

a) The Tiananmen Square incident

b) The Chinese system is corrupt

I find the first point to be irrelevant. Each country had its dark history.

I do not accept the second point. I believe that there are different degrees of corruption in all political systems and China today is not worse than many other countries.

I did not say that the system in China is perfect in all respects, but they challenged me on that wrong assumption.

They must have thought that they were clever in being able to challenge me by distorting my view.

There were other nonsensical comments that were personal. These were deleted. One of them asked why I did not migrate to China.

A few people presented their views to disagree with my views. They stated the reasons for their views and were polite. They did not engage in judgment of my views. I accept their disagreements.

Finally, I do not accept the practice of a gang of people acting in concert to challenge me. They have an ulterior motive and are not entitled to their say in my space.
