Mostly I came in to pit how he started this bizarre argument, and then posted every five minutes to refute everything everyone else said with the unelaborated statment that he lived in Japan for eight years so he knows what he’s talking about, occasionaly wierd accusations that the dozens of rational people (really, not a single person backs him up here, and I think very few even really understand what he’s saying) in this thread being brainwashed by PC, and a lot of “Uh, thats not what I want to argue right now” stuff. He’s got the debate skills of a very spoiled and slightly psychotic twelve year old.

Maked you wonder if he’s married to wonderwench! :eek:

I’d consider that a plus for him.

Man, that NattoGuy really is a kook, just look at the post he made in this very thread:

> [@NattoGuy](#):

Aeschines is _really_ losing it now in the other thread. He says I’m jealous of him, and when I scoffed, he asked me “What are your accomplishments, blowero?” I think he actually believes that’s relevant to his GD topic. Maybe I should post my resume. 😃

And here’s what he thinks about this pit thread:

> My defenders quickly arrived, the pitters backed down, and the thread sank from sight in one day. Total vindication and sweet victory.

I mean, that gets a really big WTF??? I’m looking through this thread trying to see where that happened, and the only place I can think of is _in his mind_.
