I'm in a bit of a pissy mood right now. I'm at work and would rather be at home. Well, that's nothing unusual for work, it seems.
I suppose you're now wondering exactly why I'm in a pissy mood. Way back in March, I left a Japanese language forum because of one person on it. This individual is very condescending and I got fed up with his attitude. About a month ago, I found another Japanese language forum and was getting help with things there with no problem. Until the same guy from the first forum started to answer my posts and questions with the same condescending attitude. I'm considering leaving this forum as well, but it's been very helpful. For now, I am going to ignore him. But if he keeps up the attitude, I will definitely leave.
I changed my signature on the forum from the simple phrase "Know yourself." to the following:
Yes, I read manga. Yes, I watch anime.
But I also like reading haiku and death poetry. I read about the history of Japan. I try to learn about the culture as well.
I am trying to learn the language -- both written and spoken -- alone in an area with a large Hispanic population and practically no Japanese.
But all people see is the first thing I said.
Don't judge me by that. You don't know me. If judge only by that, you don't deserve to know me.
Know yourself.
So... what do you think? Am I overreacting to this idiot? It's just that he made me so mad. I really don't want to leave the forum because it's been so helpful. And I have this horrible feeling that if I go to another forum, I'll find him there, too!

Well, that about covers it for tonight. I think I'm gonna go offline and do something that doesn't make me any crankier.
Laters!
If you've ever wondered....
