Nihonjinron

[ZelosPower]

Is that thing (nihonjinron) still popular in japan? I mean do they still really think they are better than everybody?

[AJBryant]

The word isn't "better."

It's "different."

[Amathev]

Not really in the sense of being more intelligent or so, but more in the sense that they're unique from everyone else.

Welcome to TJP. Just as a note for the future, it's considered bad form to respond to a post that's several months old, particularly when your response is essentially the same as what someone else already posted.

Well, it was still on the first page of "History and Literature Discussions".

This isn't 'Gaia Online' or 'Something Awful' that has tons of users to move threads at lightning speed across all forums. Be aware of a thread's post date before you reply to something.

「Something Awful」は何ですか？
What is 'Something Awful'?

[richvh]

A forum. As you should have been able to tell from context.

What is 'Something Awful'?

It is not a happy place, but apparently a lot of people like it. I find it disgusting and appropriately named.

[AJBryant]

I live there on GBS -- I like the photoshop threadwork. Don't venture into any of the other areas -- they're scary.

Haha, I nearly died when I read the 'cool move ...hit that bin' thread. Science fair SWAT @ SA was also a killer.

It's also considered bad form to scold other users when you aren't a moderator, too.

Personally, I have no problem with users replying to anything that's still on the first page of a forum... Or even the second. New users have a lot of enthusiasm and if you tell them they 'can't post' to what they want to talk about, they'll just go elsewhere. Every forum needs new users constantly to stay alive.

Gently and politely informing others of the particular etiquette of a forum of which one is a member (whether a moderator or not) is hardly bad form. Especially when coming from from user who has contributed so much to the forum. This particular forum has slightly harsher definitions of necro-posting than some other forums and it makes sense to make new users aware of that in a polite and friendly manner.

If you'd like, I'll be happy to quote Chris' (Yudan Taiteki's) words as my own.

[Yudan Taiteki]

To be fair to wccrawford, I am on other forums where it is actually a moddable violation to criticize another member for breaking forum rules if you are not a mod yourself. But I don't think that applies here, and I was trying to be as polite as possible.
