Beyond reproach is the wrong term - selective deafness is more accurate.

For a 脱空汉 who operates under an invalidated claim, it certainly helps that those who could enforce the injunction against wrongful behavior are either too weak to do so - or worse, too compliant.

If I remember correctly, it's still the year of the Rat, not the year of the Snake.

(On a side note, 微软, it's interesting how your IME changes the last hanzi of 脱空汉, isn't it?)
