Whoa dude. This must be pretty embarrassing, huh? 

Maybe Danny Wilde is actually that Shannon guy from flij?

Kudos to Sean for not posting the text of those emails here. Although part of me really wants to see them...

No problem. Here are full copies of the messages which terrorized Sean so horribly.

(For those who don't want to waste time reading these messages in full, the entire contents can be summarised as me saying to Sean that I would bear his opinions in mind, and asking him to stop changing his email address so that I can killfile him properly.)

The original entry in question was about "what is katakana used for?", so I added "names of plants and animals" to the list. To make it clear that this was not a hard and fast rule, I also added "for example" to each of the kanji, hiragana, and katakana entries. 

  That doesn't make it clear. It's bad writing. You might just as well
say: Katakana is used for writing everything. For example: ソツギョウオ
メデトウ. (Although I understand that the miracles of modern technology
have allowed hiragana in telegrams for a decade or so.)　
 If I have followed this thread correctly, folks are pointing out to
you that what you wrote does not accomplish what you wanted it to. You
were arguing back at them about something else, but now you're arguing
that "What I wrote means such and such, and that's all there is to it."
Note that one of the people pointing out to you that your prose doesn't
work is an experienced professional whose very job and raison d'etre is
to ascertain what sentences mean, and to make sure that sentences mean
what they are intended to mean. I refer, of course, to the lawyer.
  Why not say, "All right. I'll rephrase my sentence so that it is
clear." That would seem more productive and sensible than implying that
all these highly educated and well-read people are stupid for not
thinking that your sentence means what you declare it to mean.


Thanks for your feedback. I'll bear your opinions in mind.

Danny.

Gee, you had the time to read the post. And your reply is a lot longer than
the original. You are a silly fellow. 

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'll bear your opinion in mind.

Danny.

These are all Japanese symbols, so posting them to sci.math might

There is a list of possible symbols at

So, braces and parentheses are japanese symbols?
And the international math symbols are japanese too?


I think it's rather obvious Danny W ment the encoding
of the characters, not the characters themselves. I'm
probably the most wooshed and the slowest participant
of SLJ and even i got that... Shame on you!   :)

No, you missed the point again Konrad. The new game on sci.lang.japan is to
take some statement someone made, usually one where common sense makes it
clear what he meant, and then pretend that one doesn't understand because
the statement was so terribly misleading and badly written, etc. OK?

BTW judging from the "manic attack"/"frantic question mark" writing style,
my guess is that "LB"="Marc Adler". Also, Adler is known for posting under
fake names (Swahili Phil, Phil Healey, etc.)

Have a pleasant Monday.

Danny.


If you don't enjoy the criticism, take more care with your writing. This may
not be the most high-falutin academic ng in existence, but folks are mostly
trying to communicate things sensibly and clearly. In this ng, of all
places, it would be best not to call something a "Japanese symbol" unless
that is what it is. Humpty Dumpty was a twit.

End Sean's Message. 

Thanks for your message again, Sean.

Some people are very bad at accepting criticism, aren't they?

Danny.

Subject: A public request to Danny Wilde


A request in public to drive it home:
I am asking Danny Wilde to refrain from emailing me at my home. It has the flavour of an attempt at intimidation. 

I'm very sorry about that, Sean.

For whatever reason, from the time he arrived in this newsgroup he has decided to bait me with insults and so on. I have no idea why he decided to direct his spite towards me. Now he is responding to my posts not in this ng, but via my personal email. I have asked him to refrain, and I ask him again here in the newsgroup.
Danny, for some reason you have decided to make me a target of your nastiness. If you don't like what I post, please don't read it.

I tried to killfile you, but you kept changing the email address in your post. I thought you were just trying to escape the killfile.

If you have something to say to me concerning those posts, please do it here, in public. 

The reason is that I don't want to waste other people's time.

Thank you. 

Thank you too.

What a waste of time.

Danny Wilde, please do not respond to any of my posts, including this one, via email. It creeps me out.
(I post this because my previous request earned me two emails from the twit.) 

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I'll bear it in mind.

End of Wilde-Holland correspondance. 

Frightening, aren't they? No wonder he was so intimidated.

What a pathetic coward Sean is, to publicly whine about these inoffensive messages.
