While I make my own choices regarding my own actions, it is not for me to make judgements about other people's.

It seems I still need to work on it.So far as the horror stories are concerned Gote, I referred not to Chen Yi's collection practices, after all I have had no dealings of any kind with her, but only to the stories related here, of incorrect naming.
