It's childish jabs like this that rubs everyone on the forums the wrong way.
You've been doing it a lot as of late, and it's painfully transparent to everyone.

I'm surprised that you don't know why people think you got schooled. The reason is hardly childish.

I am earnestly surprised that's invisible to you.

Tamron actually asked you again. Like I said, pay attention.... -_-

The childish term is fitting for your attitude that is of the same quality.

Tamron asked you his questions again, but you just did not pay attention. While you were busy making counterjabs to me and Tamron, you failed to directly answer his questions... TWICE!!

Alright, this has gone on far enough.

You're problem here is that you are being accusatory. Ignoring others opinions in favor of your own, restraining yourself from borderline flaming not to remain civil but to continue the discussion further unconciously.

Before you argue any further, see if you truly understand what the others are trying to say. If you can provide your interpretations of their opinions and they agree with you then you do, if not then you should reconsider further.

Stop right there. Recognize that you are essentially vindicating Padib's beliefs, esseintially adding fuel to the fire. You do not need to pursue him our his attitude personally. If he refuses to understand, then you're just wasting your time, because he not only won't change but he is also proving to be intolerant and rude, despite claiming to be civil.

I know it can be frustrating but the issue is one of mindset not substance. This is not the way to address a problem such as this. If Padib wants to change, he will, if not simply ignore him until he does. You can't use reason on someone who is being unreasonable.

You always revert to this "misundertood" card. There comes a time where one should realise that if he's always misunderstood (as you claim to be everytime someone points out something off about what you say), the problem must come from the way you present yourself and what you say.  But instead, you put the blame on everyone else, saying they don't understand you. Playing the victim, like Tachi pointed out. 

How is this thread still going....

That is a good question. It's gonna take a little while to straighten out exactly what happened and who was at fault here in the thread...but from what I've seen thus far; probably best it doesn't continue.

awe hope no one gets in trouble for this thread, they may have had a good heated argument, but it had loads of info and can be very informative for those who want to absorb the right information.

My initial reaction to summerlessons: HAHA wow, perfect example of how different japanese culture is, could you imagine trying to show that in the US? .. oh man..

I knew it was part of the culture before hand, although honestly didnt understand it. I still dont really, But this thread has helped give insight to that. One can know of a culture, and know aspects of it, But that does not mean one understands it.

You have to step back and ask important questions, and if you cant answer them, you are more than likely speaking from ignorance .. WHY is this part of japanese culture? Where does it come from within its history? How do those within japan feel about it, and why do they feel that way?

Luckily some have provided answers to those :)

Well, this thread was surely a great read!
