Well-well-well, verzauberung left me a "nice" PM with the same kind of "arguments" that we have seen before. And I'm not going to keep this private only because the sender has no guts to write it openly. And of course, it was a "hit and run" PM, that is, he closed the conversation after that message. I will make public any messages of this kind, that's a promise. You can not hide your outbursts that way.
BTW, the netorare definition that I linked to, is one of the first and best articles on the genre that I found. It looks like it's based on the following sources that are even better (even with a few illustrations that are typical for the genre):
You must be registered to see the links
You must be registered to see the links
Obviously the original article is written by the people closest to the Japanese anime and its genres, they actually know what they're talking about.
With lots of examples.
Just try to beat it with something better and we'll see which one actually is. So far I have seen no sources of information, just personal opinions and the word "Wikipedia" several times without any links.
In most cases Wikipedia is a good source, but definitely
not in this case, because there is no article about netorare there. Just naming Wikipedia is not an argument. And all his arguments are based on that non-existent article in Wikipedia, his "trustworthy source" that
anyone can edit and
does not exist in English at this point. There is an article in German language and I guess that this is his "trustworthy source". Unfortunately for him, that article also supports the kind of description on the links above.
So, this was his message to me:
I believe that I could get banned if valid and logical arguments, based on good sources of information and not insulting anybody is the kind of behavior that is unwelcome here. If that is the case, then it's OK by me. I don't think I want to be here, if baseless arguments without any good sources, personal opinions and insults are the norm.
