The book also critiques how Australians are seen online due to some very stupid political policies which prevent Australians from getting true broadband internet, as well as a proposed Internet filtering system which will be mandatory for all ISPs here if passed. From experience, sometimes Americans kick Australians from online game servers for causing lag in the game, due to the Australians not having good internet connections.

And yes, because it is more than just about Japan, a lot of world cultures get skewered in it. Particularly how Americans and Australians see each other online. Because both of us can call each other yanks and drongos for hours without realising both nations are trolling each other.

What the fuck?

How can someone to be completely detached from reality to think:

1. They need to come to a forum and apologise for... something that supposedly happened a year ago involving a ghost.

2. They need to write a book about internet trolls (fun-fact: no one wants to read a book about internet trolls).

3. Japanese war criminals killing internet trolls by way of a curse??????

Jake get the fuck off the internet for the sake of us all. I'm not saying that to be mean - I'm trying to give you real advice on how to improve your life.

Just get rid of your computer and go outside. Join a club or something. Do some voluntary work - just get the fuck off the internet and talk to some real people before it's too late.

Stop muddling my words man, but I won't bother defending myself to you since you clearly won't listen. I try to make amends to you guys, and I should have expected some people wouldn't have been as welcoming as I had hoped. Well, the best I can hope for is, at the moment, graduating and going to University. There's sure to be some real people there.

metal don't be grumpy and let the man write his book

Tadao · #6

Yeah MM, stop being a cunt.

I'm not trying to have a go at you Jake, but this is beyond ridiculous.

No one hates you, they just think you're fucking weird for coming here and telling us how you were in a relationship with an imaginary girl you met in a book shop. As such you can't make amends to anyone you can just appear to be slightly more or less of a twat depending on what you post next.

Ultimately you're always going to be remembered as Jake 1.0 - the neurotic level 10 word-smith that posted some hilariously misguided topics on life, love and relationships.

I'm not saying you need to be Jake 1.0 forever, you can go off and have a real life where this stuff doesn't mean anything but coming back here isn't going to make you fell any better about yourself or improve your life in an way.

I can see where this is going. Pure gold.

Sooooooooooo, when's the wedding?

Tadao · #11

OH MAN JAKE! ZQ is the perfect match for you!

Kitsa · #12

Actually, I don't know that I'd do that to ZQ. But I see a possible friendship

darkvare · #14

you see tadao even rog thinks you are way too agressive that's why i try to be friendly to most newcomers

Tadao · #15

Yes Darkvare, I think everyone who can read got that. You can now wipe the shit off your nose.

Mockery · #16

I wouldn't single out Tadao, because he's far from the only one who has been overly aggressive with new forum members in recent times. I just wish I had more free time on my hands to curb some of the bullshit that takes place on the forums here, but my time is better spent on writing new articles 'n what not for the site.

darkvare · #17

i happen to like shit on my nose thank you very much

Tadao · #18

@ Darkvare

I have been tons nicer since my warning a few months ago. I even don't join in on the hazings anymore.

Aimless · #19

I would have left and never came back if it wasn't for the few people that I had great conversations with through IM and RoG being kind enough to answer my PM's. I get what the board atmosphere is like here now but as a stranger I found it to be very hostile.

That being said... I HATE YOU ALL. <3

no aimless, you're just stupid. you can blame it on the 'prescription drugs' or whatever, but seriously.

the ONLY person mean to you was myself, and if you're so overly sensitive about a sixteen year old calling you out then you shouldn't be here, period. the members you contacted off of the board were only nice to you because of your breasts, which isn't a compliment. i'm not being mean now, just honest.

i'll explain more in the next post.

You must have a lot of time on your hands to scower the board looking for anyone else that has been mean to me. I sent that PM to RoG before you had said anything to me. You didn't offend me in the least, I just felt sorry for you.

As far as guys only talking to me for my breasts, I'm used to that.. but they still continue to talk to me so there must be something to that.

As for the prescription drugs, obviously I have other things going on besides those to warrant a doctor actually prescribing me narcotics, so think before you try and slam me for using them.
