While I understand that because I criticized your use of a fake email
address you probably tend to be over zealous about nit picking my
statements but let us be realistic here.

Criticism of something that one observes is not by any stretch of the
imagination a complement of the opposite. If I say that the foreign
aid workers operating during the Tsunami disaster here in Thailand
were useless it certainly does not imply anything about the local
effort.

Your comment that my "criticism of foreign disaster relief staff 
(inadvertently?) gave moral sup****t to the junta" is utterly
ridicules, if for no other reason then that the Burmese regime does
not depend on moral sup****t from the West, and never has. It simply
shows either the (rather) spiteful actions of an over zealous critic
or a lack of comprehensive of the English language.
