To Seiji Kozawa aka Mr. Spam

Almost daily, I receive news from you. Almost daily, I delete your comments. I've left one open for other people to read here. I have no desire to tolerate your pseudo-communist propaganda. It's boring, bad English. Maybe it would be time for you to go outside, take a walk through the mountains, be among real people. Your mind is troubled and doesn't see things clearly. Forget everything you believe in, forget everything you've ever written and start living.

3 Comments:

  • Your comments aren't comments, they are just musings of a narcissist. You don't reply to what I write, you just use this space for your own self-interest. And the "all rights reserved in Seiji Kozawa" crap is just sick. Whatever. This was your last
    comment ever. Yours sincerely, the impolite gaijin.

  • Mr. Yptucide, one has to acknowledge that Mr. Kozawa is correct in stating that "now that you have built up the internet home page, you are always obligated to receive any comments from all over the world and sometimes tolerate them [...]"(sic)

    Moreover, let us refrain from judging a person on linguistic talent. It was a surprise to read your utterance on Mr. Kozawa's English, especially because the general tone of this blog is on the chin stroking, serious side: ripe and often really fine writership.

    Comments in blogs, Mr. Kozawa, are meant to be concrete and to the point. Although some of your fans may slurp your visions down as soup, many readers will find it more potent in smaller doses. You made your point, though by trying to indoctrinate it you are in fact doing exactly what you are resisting against.

    This is a cultured blog, let us keep it that way.

  • A correct remark, for which I am grateful. I realise the "bad English" comment was irrelevant and even arrogant of me. My English isn't perfect either. And indeed, vocabulary-wise, my utterance wasn't something you'd repeat at Buckingham Palace.
    Still, I cannot help thinking of Mr. Kozawa as a lonely man, aching, longing for acknowledgement and some connection. Yet, how on earth can he connect with people if he doesn't listen to them? If he doesn't actually read this blog? Because if he would, he would've known I'm already back in my own home country. And, how do the Russo-Japanese relations relate to TokyoArtBeat t-shirts? Relevance: 0. It's a cry for recognition. A copy/paste "I'm still here". Select, copy, paste, To: NYTimes. Yes, I get comments addressed to the NYTimes. Hello? That self-centeredness is even more apparent in the whole "All rights reserved" craze, which just boggles my mind.
