I never once mentioned respect. Re-read my post.

I'm with chryuop on this one, though he could have worded his post a bit more... diplomatically.
Get over yourself Kyle and stop being an a$$. It's obvious in all your posts.

I word it out the way it was coz I was previously private messaged in a non "diplomatic" way. If someone tries to offend me (hard to do lol) can't expect me to answer with diplomacy.

I'd love to see where I've behaved in a way that I need to "get over myself." Especially in this thread!

I said we should be nice to the native Japanese because they have what we need: skill with Japanese.

If you piss them off, they'll leave, and we'll all lose Nagoyankee et al. I never once said you need me. In fact, I strongly implied I'm not nearly enough for this board to survive as a good resource. Suffice to say, I think your own insecurities are reading egotism into what I post usually post. That's the only explanation for this:

Holy crap, the two threads you have started I was the first response both times, and it was frigging helpful and positive both times!!!.
http://www.japanforum.com/forum/japa...djectives.html
http://www.japanforum.com/forum/japa...80%80-づ.html

In that last one, you even responded thanking me. Holy frigging crap!

Do you want helpful people to start ignoring your threads? You're sure providing provocation. Maybe I should just remind people of how you treat those who help you out, and we'll see what kind of response you get, you ungrateful jerk.

I'd ask a mod like MMM to close this thread, but it's neither your thread or my thread, and I don't want the OP to suffer for this, so I'm just going to ignore you from now on. Peace.

Guys guys, calm down. I am the one who answered back to arrogance and you don't need to fight for that.

As per being ignored...I usually post the same questions in 3 different Japanese forums and then compare the answers and if something is not clear I ask my penpal in Japan. So as u can see you really don't need to undergo rudeness of anyone coz no1 is indispensable.

Peace and I would close it here

To be fair, I did inform you that this question has been asked about a bajillion times, and you could search for it and see plenty. Tae Kim is the most referenced. Beyond that, websites you need are going to be in Japanese, but you've not indicated that you're at that level yet. Are you?

Furthermore, once you get past Tae Kim, most of what you have left to learn will not exist online in any comprehensive manner. It will be a series of "am I using this right? Time to google for it or ask on JF!"

For example, if you want to know the subtle differences between the たら/ば/なら/と conditional structures, you won't find a great answer on the same webpage as you find answers to 100s of other questions. Rather, you'll need to google something like:
Quote:
+"たら" +"ば" +"なら" +"と" +"違い"
I just googled that, and here's the results: +"たら" +"ば" +"なら" +"と" +"違い" - Google Search

tl;dr Learn everything on Tae Kim. It will easily cover everything up to a 下中級(げちゅうきゅう, lower intermediate level).

Edit This is also one of the reasons why you want to take classes: websites cannot possibly provide the structure you need for an intermediate-advanced level of language acquisition. This is something you learn in classes, and then you hit a level where you read materials in Japanese and spot things you don't fully understand and ask.
