Another thread bites the dust and becomes a public bickering, which should be resolved privately as it has no bearings on the thread, not does it hold any interest in anyone else's eyes.

Students of mine, the first time I see them after the disasters, ask me If I know anyone in the affected areas, I return the question, everyone we know is fine, we say it's tragic, then we relate the similarities to the Hanshin earthquake and how the Hanshin earthquake was in fact way way less damaging etc,... within 10 minutes we finish that discussion and move on after a brief respectful, and at times awkward, silence.
Like you said MMM America didn't shut down for 9/11 or Katrina, daily life continued in the rest of the country as usual except for daily scheduled programing being changed for a constant barrage of related news stories.
What does surprise me is that people still go to Karaoke with their friends, go to the izakayas and host clubs and weekend-golfing and all those luxuries which I assumed most people would feel too guilty to attend, still go on.
They are necessary, and like I said I think it's good they do happen, but I'm surprised none the less.

If it's all the same to you, why not delete all the garbage posts?
Or better yet, lol, make a "MMM and Ronin duke it out" thread and move any arguments that occur there hahaha... I think that's a genius idea!
