I already am having problems with Susan_Mason, who has falsely and ridiculously accused me of bigotry against Chinese people. Now, however, Stevertigo has made the same slanderous innuendo against me by saying that I am promoting "segregation" of languages! That is more than uncalled for, it is hateful.
A slanderous innuendo? Where? I missed it? Dang...
I would like to add my voice to those others here who disagree with the use of Chinese characters on the English language discussion pahes. It is hard to follow the authors of these discussions when these characters simply will not show up on many computer screens; when multiple people use Kanji, the system gets even more out of hand. I cannot help but believe that this may actually be part of the reason Stevertigo is doing this.
The fact that he signs his posts with a hard-to-duplicate sig, one that most likely happens to be the exact' legal rentition of his birth name, lead me to believe that in fact is his intent that his post not be confused for any one else's. Whodathunk?
Kanji issues aside, I do not deserve to be a victim of such terrible claims against me. If Stevertigo and Susan Mason cannot control their incoherent attacks, then I ask that they remove themselves until they can calm down.
Kanji being the primary element of the written language of the second largest world economy, of a technologically advanced and pionering nation where the internet is concerned, and the official writ of 140 million people, I dare say that blaming people for using it is narror-sighted at best.
As far as removing themselves until they calm down, I think the expression is self-prophetic more than anything. ;)
On a more serious note, Robert, how would you feel if the Internet had been createdn by the Soviets, and the ligua franca was Russian, and the script was cyrillic, would you not want to sign your own name the way your parents meant for you to rather than with less-than perfect cyrillic approximations?
Hoping to make this a better place,
Sincerely,
