Ahh, that's your first mistake. Learn a disdain for general humanity and you'll enjoy life more.

TBH, I think the guy's lack of compassion for the man's son says a good bit about the guy's character.

Here is the thing you are going out of your way to intentionally harm and sabotage someone because you don't agree with their ethics and business practices. I'd be totally fine if you were just complaining or making an argument against the guy we all know how annoying some resellers can be. That being said going as far as to make up a false identity and to toy with the guy is a crappy thing to do regardless of who he is or what he does, and the thread only seems to be escalating things.

To further explain my other comments. I drafted an email to the guy after suggestions were made to make fraudulent negative online reviews of his business and/or to make him drive to random locations. I've been the victim of crap like that before and it's a real dick move. If you want to call me obnoxious for trying to prevent someone from going through the same shit I've experienced in the past then go right ahead.

As for the phone number comment sure you can block his number, but this is the age of the internet. There is so much crap that can be done with your phone number that it's not even funny that's why the #1 rule of being a jerk online is to stay anonymous. Have you not seen posts like this in the past.
THIS. I hate bumping such a worthless Thread so Quoted and posted over here. That Trolling Thread should have been Locked and Deleted at the first post. Reported the offending Thread to a Moderator.

Best way to discourage a bragging Troll is not post in that thread.

Racketboy is the elite of Forums with great discussion, lets get back to talking about more important things!
@ Fragems - I would say go for it if a Moderator approves. Comical that Jmustang gave out a personal phone number. The receiver can now spam the piss out of that phone number thru multiple random return numbers.

Maybe that is what happened the other day in the Racketboy Forums?

NO. You tarnished Racketboy's good name in not only trolling, but posting here on Racketboy hurting everyone's reputation.

Nope, that was just a common spambot and to ascribe it to anything more is asinine.

Anyone know any good books or systems for learning to read Japanese?

There are so many tempting import games, but I don't think I could fully enjoy them without understanding the plot.

I would look into learning to speak the language since I already can pick up quite a bit of it thanks to watching thousands of hours of anime, but I think learning to read it would serve me better since I mainly just want to play the games and audio isn't going to help me in menu and inventory systems anyways :P. Plus I always play game with subtitles so I could further pick up the language as I play anyways.
