[QUOTE=Kenshin;24325]I can understand your frustration here, but I also have no patience for this kind of rhetoric. I don’t post much because I’m not a mariner, so I just lurk.
But you appear to be insinuating some things that do not sit at all well with me:
- Anyone who disagrees with SSCS is working for the Japanese.
- Stereotyping Japanese with the following: “childish pranks and venomous rhetoric and hatred”[/QUOTE]
Me thinks your skin is too thin. Are you Japanese? I’m asking because of your name. Just for the record, it is not an attack on a culture, a people, or a country. My comments were directed at MikeE1849 only. I think if you read the posts on this thread over, you’ll find most of the professionals on here are against Sea Shepherd’s methods. I personally disagree with a lot of what SSCS does, but they don’t bother me much, and I’m a mariner. They have turned into a source of humor. So you mis-read.
“Stereotyping Japanese”? Give me a break. Re-read posts by MikeE1849. and you’ll see nothing but “childish pranks and venomous rhetoric and hatred.” It’s been my experience that anyone with that much compassion has an agenda. So, what is MikeE1849’s goal here. He’s not a sailor. Maybe he just wants to rid the world whales. Maybe he was just has no life. Maybe Sea Shepherd wouldn’t let him join. Or maybe he’s working for the Japanese. Get it?
