My deepest apologies to every member here

Re: i know i havent been a good member only i'll change my ways.

Au contraire. I can think of at least two members who have been banned.

I am sure our admin, who has shown great restraint and tolerance in what is viewed as acceptable content, would nonetheless not hesitate to take measures against additional members should they continue to post objectionable material on a recurring basis.

I was just referring to Sansei, who has done nothing in my opinion(unless I have missed something?) to warrant being banned, that was all.

I can think of at least four.

But I appreciate that admin allows us to debate a lot here, without interference, jumping in only when we go overboard in violating the "rules" (like de-volving into particularly nasty personal attacks). There are many here with whom I would disagree on a number of topics - but I appreciate the opportunity for back-and-forth.

"Banning" seems to have become less of an issue since Ryan instituted a screening process before allowing members to join. It's also cut back on the potential "spam."

I think this is the internet...and a forum...run by an admin team that if so choose, would ban you so you could NOT post, bu that is not the case...

Re: my deepest apologies to every member here

Since this thread is a combination of 2 threads and has evolved to become more of an administrative matter vs. a Hawaii TV discussion, it is being moved to this section of the board.

Re: my deepest apologies to every member here

we know that there is one and only one sansei. i believe mel was talking about your original post/thread.

pm or em away!

amen

Re: my deepest apologies to every member here

hi this is sansei and in response to kani-leahua,if the Pm's or Em's are ok which would mean we pm or em in a kind way,i'd accept and if not,i would still respond to your reply in either your Pm's or Em's and not offensive type's as i've had in the past,not here other place's.i think people here are kind and since im sort of new to this board,im still in my learning to post better and be a good member and in response to mel,im the original sansei and i know since joining you know of me and i think the people of This Board are cool.

Well thank's for your time:O)

Re: sei what you will

Accepted. Isn't it wild to see where this thread has gone, from its original point?

Yeah, especially after admin merged it from the 2nd one created in the general area to the original Sansei created in this area. I'll keep monitoring this, but I almost feel like moving it again.

Re: That would be yonsei.

It's a little more complex than that, I'm afraid. "Shi" would be the "on" reading of the character, and "yon" would be the "kun" reading. It generally depends on usage (or context) as to which reading is used. Generally speaking "shi" and "yon" are interchangeable (like when counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...). However when specific counters are involved, it gets more complicated ("shigatsu" is April - the fourth month - it's never "yongatsu" --- while other counters use the base "yon" - "yonhiki" - four animals - it's never "shihiki").

I vaguely recall there being loose rules on how to come up with when and where to use "shi" or "yon" but the memories are foggy. I just chose to go the rote memorization route.

Oh, and then there's "nana" or "shichi." Another ball of wax there... but I digress...

dude, i forgot you were fluent. reading your last post made me think of the karaoke bar in waikiki. and drinking whiskey.

ae (yes).

'auhea wale ana 'oe e (or is it o) Sansei? (Sansei, where are? Where are you, Sansei?)

getting back to the original post: Sansei, "i know many may not wish for me to Pm or Em them so i'll refrain from this until someone may wish to let me PM Or Em them if it's ok with them."

my thoughts to you are, refrain no longer. pm or em me, it's no big deal!

back stroke: i'm going to retract my statement from my previous post and say, "just call me yonsei."

Re: That would be yonsei.

That would be yonsei, not shisei. There are two words for "four," and yon is usually preferred because shi is a homophone for the word that means "death."

Yes, it does get tricky (different counting words for flat objects vs. round objects and so on), but the in case Scrivener brought up, it's definitely "yon." (The AF, fluent in Nihongo, is yonsei.)

Right you are! Thanks for the correction.
yonsei = 4th generation
shisei = 5th generation

At least that was the way it was used by Japanese in California. Now can someone point me to an open house on New Years day with Japanese home cooking? I will bring appetite and sushi rice.
