Modern media is essentially about reporting sensational stories and not the truth, so these kind of people appear more frequently. As a result, they can make a living at being offended at anything because the media pays attention to them.

They can make a living? Does the media pay attention and money to them?

I’ve noticed that some Western news programs appear entertainment in essence.
Have you heard this event in Colorado the US? It was about a famous family which often appeared in some news programs. They said that a son of them was blown in a flying balloon, many people chased the balloon, and the son wasn’t in it. He was in the attic and said it was a show.
Some Japanese news programs are in form of entertainment, but they are not as sensational as Western’s in essence.

I am deeply sorry for offending you, Yuri. I do not in any way think less of you because of how you do laundry. My confession and explanation afterwards were meant to show that I used the same method to dry laundry in the past, and have seen how well that works. Some days, I wish we still had the clothesline up in the backyard so I could do it again.

I’ve never thought you have offended me.
Sorry, I don’t understand why you say like this.
Did I appear angry in the last post? If I did, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to show any complaint or protest.

In a dryer machine.

Do the shirts shrink?

I am confident that the future will see your high level of experience in telling the difference between verb tenses, Yuri.

Thank you!! いつも　ありがとー！

It was a declaration similar in tone and impact to the reason why a site like JapanForum was created: to provide a way for native Japanese to connect to members of other countries in order to exchange cultural understanding and knowledge.

Each of us plays a vital part in this site continuing to be an excellent information resource on Japanese culture and people, especially individuals such as yourself, Yuri. I do not think I would know nearly as much about Japanese culture without your kind explanations and patience.

It's helpful individuals such as you that provide the reason this forum was made, not to mention its continued success.

Sorry, let me confirm.
Individuals who don’t mention this forum’s continued success are helpful to provide for this forum.
??? Is this right???
