Hiko Saemon – my apologies for getting you involved

Today this was posted on Debito.org: and compares it to his connection afterwards with a full-of-praise Tepido “Hikosaemon” I know Hiko through Google+ and a few other online places, but the only place our Tepidean paths have crossed is when he checked out Mr Arudou’s and my schlongs. So, I decided to drop Hiko a [...]

Indignant white boy buries dead Nepalese

To echo a comment I saw on F–ed Gaijin, while Mr Johnson gets all the attention for his whining, this disappears under the radar:   Fortunately, the four suspects have been arrested.

Another rational poster pushed under the bus

James Annan has been putting up a brave fight against the scaremongerers in this thread, but he did get a bit short with other posters, perhaps partially because he was getting fed up having his comments selectively edited. Now, what first caused this issue to come to the fore was this comment from AJ (my [...]

Being trolling, ad hominem and unconstructive

Post 58 in a thread (BTW, I don’t agree with certain aspects of Nogbad’s post, but we can discuss that later) gets this response describing what causes comments to be edited or deleted: It’s a matter of it being trolling and ad hominem, not to mention being unconstructive Post 59 in the thread says: Debito [...]

Flyjin or strawjin?

I didn’t review Mr Arudou’s latest Just Be Cause when it first came out, so let me get that done first:     OK, that’s that complete. Now, I see he is complaining about internet bullies writing to Japan Times about it and is asking his supporters to write in to defend the article. However, [...]

Anti-flyjin hate versus anti-nihonjin hate

Today’s train-wreck is a look at newspapers reporting foreigners leaving. There’s of course been lots of nasty rumours in not just foreign newspapers about the Fukushima power station situation, but also in a certain blog. When called out on it, and after someone suggested that the blog owner interleave a rebuttal with the original post, [...]

Meltdown!

http://www.debito.org/?p=8700 The crisis has brought out the worst in some of the most loyal and supportive Debito.org Commenters, who have decided to impugn my very character despite the fact I’m doing what I’ve always done:  raised issues that were on my mind and that I thought deserved attention and discussion. No, you weren’t raising issues, [...]

More handbags

Man down – somebody call… Oh no, Mr Arudou has responded to Mr Guest and Tepido.org and it’s not worth a response, instead I’ll just highlight some of the comments. The very first comment is spot on with what Mr Arudou should have done. You know, this was actually kind of funny! And you don’t [...]

Mr Arudou dodges a police stop at Narita

This is an extremely surprising turn of events: – Yes, I just came through Narita today. The Chiba Police were practicing on unsuspecting NJ just outside the Narita Express gates. I used all the tactics Debito.org Readers have used (including pretending to talk on the phone) and got by without incident. Wow, avoiding a confrontation [...]

"Darling" Considered Harmful

In a post about a big-nosed blond gaijin advert (since taken private on YouTube) which most people rightly found in rather poor taste due to the overused stereotype, we get the cryptic comment: – Oh yes, then we get to DWG [Darling wa Gaikokujin]. Plenty of NJ who should know better even think that the [...]
