Who is worse, a person who did that, whatever it is, or a person who not only read it but reposted it somewhere else?

So I gather dethtoll's been very busy making a whole lot of friends around here. :thumb:

Props to whoever translated the whole thing. They did a great job of making it sound like natural English.
Ugh, these are the things that make my stomach turn about returning to Tokyo.
The reason it works is because even if it is a troll, it hits all the buttons that are all-too-familiar in Japan -- yeah there are people like this everywhere, but it's more familiar there because of the whole culture of holding in your feelings come hell or high water (in the US / Europe the woman would have been more straightforward just to say "Look, I'm not into you." and the guy would get it) and the "dame" part of otaku culture, where guys revel in stewing in their own humiliation & even pushing it as far as it'll go... So familiar that even my evolved spodey senses can't be sure one way or another... Thank God I have normal friends in Tokyo at least.

I wish I didn't read this.

I've always said if you don't get to second base in the first three minutes then move on to the next one.
Okay, maybe somewhere in between my approach and his. Mine works though. Better than his anyway.

Eh, while there are guys "like" this, I'd chuck it as a troll. I was mildly buying it until the 600 emails bit.

I can't help but read it in morbid fascination, my jaw slowly dropping from increasing amazement.
It's lines like this that make it worthwhile, though: 'Getting 70 emails in a day from somebody I don't like would bring me to gross sobbing. '
