So... a) did you move to China; b) are you really doing 5 months work from home, one month work in a 5 star hotel; c) get in a knife fight? I don't mind privacy at all, but I like to know if what I'm reading is fact or fiction or some combination thereof.

I used to think the Max Klein posts were somewhat inspirational, but at this point I just assume he's pulled a '419' on everyone. There's a healthy dose of fiction mixed into whatever facts may be contained in his blog posts.

    In case you are not aware, '419' refers to Nigerian scammers. 419 = scam/fake/fraud (loosely)

  I must say it's very funny to read your reasons to move to China. Among them, there's this one : «There are so many little ‘unfreedoms’ in europe that seems insignificant, but together they add up to a society that advocates safety over freedom.» Ok, but this is vague. Luckily, you provide an example, about a friend of yours : «she went online to some review forum for such services and wrote a long and scathing review about the company. A few days later, she received a letter from a lawyer informing her she was being sued for defamation, and she should delete her review and pay the lawyer costs, which came to 600€.» And this is the reason why you're moving to a country where people who criticize the government online end up in jail. (this guy, for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_Xiaoning http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_Xiaoning) Thank you for not letting us believe that this is a clever kind of joke, but is really the way you think. Good luck, you're going to need an unusual amount of it... Typhon

After reading this some time ago http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1353050 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1353050 personally i don't care anymore, if some of what you write is fiction just put a disclaimer somewhere and go on writing. As for other blogs if the content is ok i'll read it, otherwise i'll use my time in some other way.
