Adopting a Japanese child by a non-citizen Nikkei outside of Japan?

[larabell]

It's not the fact that you tossed in a cuss word -- though that's not generally acceptable behavior in a public forum, either. If that's what you think is the big deal, they you've missed the boat completely. The flap arose because you chose to attack the person, not the idea. That's not acceptable debate form in any debate I've ever experienced, online or off. If you countered the idea and just happened to inject a cuss word in the heat of the moment... well... that's not very polite but it probably would have just gone over everyone's head. But you chose to take the juvenile way out and level an attack that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand (off-topic posts, by the way, are another rule infraction). Then you followed it up with a vitriolic PM to the original poster.

The point is to make sure the forum remains a useful place to exchange ideas and that people who wish to debate the issues can do so like adults. If you don't want to do that, fine. I've already pointed out to you a far better forum for that kind of nonsense. We value your more lucid inputs. We just want to get you to stop dropping your dog crap in our backyards (a reference to one of your earlier threads, for those who care to search the archives).
