I'm kinda going to throw my penneth in here...I've seen both GoNative and Wings be labelled 'haters' on this forum before for simply casting a non-native view that perhaps wasn't as flattering to Japan as some of the others. More outwardly in the past (I seem to recall a 'hater get lost' type message when GoNative first joined, but I may be remembering incorrectly, perhaps it was a different user. I'm fairly sure it was the same person doing the name-calling however.), and, perhaps because of said past flaming issues, rather more mildly in recent threads. And to me it does seem oddly directed. I've said a few things quite directly that I don't like about Japan; so have others- I've yet to be called a hater. Perhaps just my style is different, or it's because i'm not IN Japan right now but still~
Anyway,IMHO this whole thing has blown up from some stupid subjective spam opinion thread- neither someone's overall opinion of Japan, how they live their life nor the worth of their input on JF should be based on a one-word answer, regardless of whether it is positive or negative. It's wholly puerile- seriously, this is what kids do in the playground "You said 'bottom'! I'm telling on you~"
Particularly not when the original response was heavily pegged with a disclaiming "but it's not just Japan."
Actually, I'm MORE surprised (and a little disappointed) you haven't been called out on your outrageously sexist comment yet, Wings. "Before you have your period"? Really? How rude.
