There were those supportive, saying that all the rules and regulations were met!
But even more were unsupportive, arguing that this device was seriously deceptive and went against the philosophy of fishing!
The two groups clashed on the forum, the situation nearly spiraling out of control as the debate raged on.
The day after the incident, staff responsible for running the Association looked into the situation on the forum and contacted the certificate handler, Zhang Lin, the Chinese student who had called Yue Feng some time ago.
Being abroad didn't mean these students weren't patriotic; when it came to their homeland's honor, Zhang Lin argued his case vigorously, leaving no loophole in the stringent rules and regulations.
After persuading that somewhat stubborn American, Zhang Lin personally went to the forum to post a detailed explanation of the whole matter, addressing each question raised by the detractors.
