I don't know what you think "distinct" means but it's obviously different from the sense I'm using.

I've had several threads about this. Sorry I don't replicated every aspect of the entire conversation for your convenience. Most folks aren't bringing the "aren't you a japanophile insulting my gloriously progressive culture" angle to the table, so I haven't felt the need to specifically defend against that ridiculous argument in every post.

Perhaps being less defensive would be more productive in the future. Sadly, I'm taking your offer to ignore you from here on out. Thanks for reminding me why this place is such a waste of time.

Wow maybe you should tone it down a bit. You've actually manage to use an ad hominem in an attempt to accuse me of the of the same. Also notice that there's another person who had the same impression I did, so if you didn't mean to leave that impression, you should probably edit your post.
If you did, then you shouldn't be upset when someone offers a counterpoint.

Except for this one last attempt to get the final word in right? If you're going to ignore me, ignore me, you don't need to keep making one last reply telling me that you're going to do it.
