Ah, welcome Starlight. You can call me LaconianShot... or Master. Whichever one suits you best.

*cough* <blockquote>They feel the need to be foolish and greet people in a language they don't know. Quite asinine if you ask me.</blockquote> No one should ever speak in language I don't know! It's asinine! If I can't understand it, then that language should be BANNED! BANNED, do you here me? BANNED!!!111 ...... %) Come on, Demon Child, I know that you know better. This is a worldwide website, not just a place for the English speaking. Hell, there's even a forum on this message board for another language. Language is a wonderful thing that needs to be shared, not repressed. Aside from that, it's an introduction forum... how much harm is it doing? None.

(Please to meet you and Hello!)Yeah... Japanese isn't my first language, but it is kinda handy to know who uses Japanese on this board cos sometimes Phantasy Star may make you ask Japanese-related questions....Anyway, have fun and welcome to the community.

The problem is speaking a language to someone who doesn't know, or hasn't shown they know as soon as they deside to introduce themselves. Sorry for thinking people here would have the decency not to confuse the ever living hell out of everyone that joins. %) Honestly would you do that sort of crap in real life? <blockquote>Asinine?Hey, have you checked your sig lately? </blockquote> Yes I have. ANd I know it's weird, but it certainly isn't going to confuse, and possibly drive off, people that join. Bringing that up was rather pathetic you know.Now I've said everything I need to say and a bit more than needed as well, so I'll leave this alone. But seriously, speak with people in the same language as they're useing when you can, otherwise you'll be making yourselves look foolish.[size=small][Edit by Demon Child on [TIME]1113423227[/TIME]][/size]

You folks are so strange.... Starlight, I apologize for the total weirdness of anyone here...including myself, when I do (and I will, believe me).

<blockquote>And, like with an arguement somewhere else, you can make those claims all you like but you can't prove it, so it's irrelivant as to whether or not it's your first language or if you truly know how to speak/type it. </blockquote> When you approach a debate, the least you can do is come prepared with a bit of logic stored in your head beforehand so that you don't seem like a total fool. Such a statement is dripping with ignorance. One could make such claims to ANY statement with an outlook like that. <blockquote>And would you honestly start speaking a language to someone, in person, without knowing that they know it or not...It's not that difficult to comprehend simple rules of communication you know.</blockquote> Obviously these rules have evaded your grasp. Words have very little to do with communication when speaking with a person face to face. The actual words pronounced from the mouth make up about 7% of the communication process. Body language, tone, eye intensity, facial expression, and volume make up the rest. You don't have to necessarily understand words to communicate.And once again, to reiterate a part of my message: As per request, I have ALWAYS provided a translation to what I have written. I have no 'hidden' message or offending statement that I have posted in italian; it is something to do for comical value. I only write in italian in greeting threads for reasons already stated. CAPISCI? <blockquote>Honestly would you do that sort of crap in real life? </blockquote> I have done it, and the parties in question seem to not be mentally or emotionally damaged nor have they suffered side-effects from my BOISTROUS and FLAMBOYANT greetings, so I guess it's all right. %) <blockquote>But seriously, speak with people in the same language as they're useing when you can, otherwise you'll be making yourselves look foolish. </blockquote> There you have it gents! Fun is foolish!

You can only communicate via written word and therefore, 100% of what you say is based on that. I encounter the same problem, as you yourself pointed out, Malakai, when I try to be sarcastic. No one can tell because they have only words to go on, no body langauage or tone.

by **Malakai** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 10:49 pm

Gipper, I know that. I was referring to his comment specifically regarding talking to someone face to face for the first time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered making that comment.

by **Shell Presto** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 11:10 pm

I guess I should state for posterity that I thought it was charming when everyone greeted me in their native language when I joined....
