Rider Names NON SPOILER-ISH

For someone that doesn't know how to read any Japanese, you sure act like you know something about it.

All right. So, was I mistaken in my theory above about the tradition of forming compound words?

Not really, but if you want to attack me personally instead of attacking my arguments, I'm just going to do the same in turn

This doesn't add any facts to prove your point, it just adds suspicion and casts doubt on my intent, which isn't really something that can be proved either way.

"The above sounds like a jab against the American version just because you already hate it..."

Anyway, you're nitpicking. Are you saying my analysis is mistaken? If you had something to prove your arguments it would have made this more of an interesting discussion. And no more dirty politics please, stick to the topic

OK, first of all, I would like to apologize to the rest of the forum. I realize that this mutual hate between Takenoko and myself is not healthy for the forum. Still, I feel a need to defend myself, so please bear with me, bystanders.

Hm. I guess I did ask for a counter-jab in my first post. But my second post was jab-free, so your accusations seem out of place.

I may be mistaken, but as far as I can understand from your post, you are saying ("Not really, but...") that my argument is valid. And then, despite that, you spend the next lines detailing how I don't provide any valid arguments. This seems contradictory.

My second post was on-topic and contained no attacks. If it seemed that way, I think it is because you assume the worst about me. (And I can sympathize. I will be the first to admit I have a tendency to assume the worst about you, too. Ergo my initial jab.)

My original point might be wrong. As I thought I made clear in my first post, I am not sure I know what I am talking about; I am just going by vague impressions. I could perhaps come up with some arguments to support it, but not particularly strong ones, so I don't think it's worth the bloodshed that might potentially ensue.

i read this whole thread and can't help agreeing that the American naming system is messed up
