beep1230 claims to be Mongolian but does not permit communications. How can we find the truth?

I wrote about getting marbles to Mongolia for the children who spend dreadfully cold winters (down to -43C) in yurts, playing with anything they can find, even sheep knuckle bones, ice blocks and wooden carvings. Beep1230 claims that I am ‘talking rubbish’ and that there are already marbles in Mongolia.
I am in the presence of my Mongolian wife and her sister from way outside Ulaanbaatar. Neither of them have ever seen a marble before and I have not seen any for sale in any shop in Ulaanbaatar.
Come on beep1230, own up. I am pretty much convinced that you are not Mongolian, nor have you ever been to Mongolia.
Sain uu Beep1230. Delguureer marbles-iig haigaad olsongui. Uuruu ingehed MNG-s bichij bna uu esvel gadaadaas uu? Gadaad-s bol ali ulsaas ve? Hariultand chin bayarlalaa.
You see, Beep1230 I am genuine and located in UB. Let me assure everyone that I do not look down on any tradition or custom in Mongolia, but would never miss an opportunity to enrich the lives of Mongolian children living in the countryside or the yurt districts nearby.
I suspect that you are living outside of Mongolia right now and have not recently seen little boys singing for a few ‘tugrugs’ in the streets at -24C or worse, seen them, filthy and forgotten climbing in and out sewers under the street, where they live literally, in hell.
This question is not simply about marbles, it is about trying to attract some care and compassion for those poor little guys and girls who are a whole lot less fortunate than you or I. If we can get a large Corporation to donate 10,000 marbles, what a victory. Take care now.
I think you should trust your wife on this one.
WTF?
Hey I’m Mongolian and I have played them freaking marbles when I was a little boy. If you want to prove that beep1230 is not Mongolian, and YOU are in Mongolia, write something annoying about him in Mongolian. He might respond.
Anyway, I think your idea is not bad. Maybe you should go for it
Chi yu yarij baina aa? Bi chine Mongol hun shuu dee!
Which shops did you try? Marbles are not that common, so youll have a hard time finding it.
But dont look down upon sheep knuckle bones, or shagai. They are terrific to play with, at least for kids, as they are free, and there are hundreds of ways to play with them……
