Jizzy's annual Japan visit thread

[Rooster1908]

I care because you and others but you in particular are attacking a bloke who by your own admission is going though a lot of bad stuff in his life .Sure he is over sharing and sure he may be making mistakes but to attack him when he's down is just disgusting bullying and I hate bullies .As for contributing much to this site you do contribute a lot but not much of it is of any use .

What’s going on here?

All my mates are fighting.

Leave the shittyness and pathetic back and forth to me and Mickie. We are seasoned professionals.

About to get on my plane. Sorry thay people don't like me sharing.

My head's too tired to fight back about what I am/am not allowed to share or whatever peeps be thinkin about the Daaaanld.

IMO this is all off topic and if people don't give a shyte they can dutifully ignore me. I appreciate this is the internet though. Aaaaah... the place where people stand around complaining about stuff they don't care about.

Reminds me of that line in Cold Chisel's 'Saturday Night' which doesn't form part of the tune but is yelled out as park of the intro's general background noise. Some Aussie yokka yells out 'well if you don't like it then why you standin there for 20 minutes talkin about at it?!?!?'

Why indeed...? Sigh.

Safe travels mate.

So now you’re talking yourself up by saying you have done something in the past to make it ok for the crap you do now .

Izzy is hurting no one by sharing his pain or his new shoes for that matter but as per usual as you have many times in the past you attack people for there differences .
Lastly show me were I swore .

Not quite I’ve held back with Izzy and his nonsense for quite some time due to his custody issues in Japan

However recently he crossed my threshold by not accepting my statement that I have no political affiliations.and calling me a right wing Tory supporter and that I supported Israel when I’ve been very vocal to the contrary. Basically branding me a liar. I take my honesty being questioned and disrespected very seriously So after that as far as I’m concerned he’s now fair game for whatever I choose to throw at him

I do though genuinely hope he gets the chance to spend some quality time with his Daughter and he doesn’t have the same type of experience he had last year.

#20 in this thread was where you swore at me. Also quoted by myself #21

You obviously spell swear words different to myself.

[Andrew Walker]

Huh, why are you attacking me? Are you punch drunk or something. You contribute nothing to this forum these days. Why do you care?

About the fool who started this, he is the one who posters his private business on a public forum. That means anyone can share their thoughts.

Empathy? I have empathy for those poor people in Japan who live in fear of him. I love Japan. I love Japanese people. I have been thre many times. I love their culture, have a deep understanding of it and indeed have great empathy for my Japanese family and friends. Considering the way the fool conducts himself my empathy is directed elsewhere.

I wouldnt be surprised if he ends up inside a jail cell.

Fair enough We have only heard Izzy’s side of the story Personally I chose not to question it and take him on his word He has crossed my threshold as that has not been reciprocated by him on other matters with myself

If it helps, my position is that I've previously shared information on this matter and a number of people have expressed interest in updates as it's a unique situation. I'm sharing for the benefit of such persons while also aware that some may instead wish to criticise me or highlight that there's always two sides to any story (hopefully for the right reasons and bot because I've disagreed with them on unrelated matters such as US politics).

International parental child abduction is a broader contemporary issue involving Japan quite specifically. I did my law degree in order to better understand the matter and am not here to build a private army of supporters. If anything I think I've been pretty clear that there's a bunch of butt-hurt mens rights activists in a similar boat who I actively avoid as they just hate Japan and wanna get some sorta revenge on their ex. From my perspective while I always admit I coulda been a better husband... I'm pretty open about how my wife's got a criminal conviction for attempt murder, I speak fluent Japanese, I'm a lawyer (like it or not, I wouldn't be registered or capable of visiting Japan if I had DV convictions), I've always pursued access through the courts and if anything... my approach is gentle and respectful. So there's always two sides but I think they're clutching at straws if you're trying to claim that parental abduction is good and me pursuing access via various courts (successfully I might add) is an demonstrates poor faith on my behalf.

If people aren't interested in my personal life and think I'm a douche then the block option exists. To be frank, not everybody on this planet loves me (I recently changed jobs as I didn't see eye to eye with a superior). I'm used to it and don't really care. I'm proud of where I am in life...

Good for you Izz and hope it works out for you .Others are right just be calm and play it cool . Agree if people don't like what your writing then don't read it and there is no need for the derogatory comments.

Without quoting I’m going to respectfully disagree with the last post.

When someone such as Izzy who chooses to post what some see as foolish nonsense. Is then outspoken on divisive topics like political matters and then does not wish to take others on their word in these topics, but then alludes or expressed disappointment that others may question his word They really leave themselves open for what might come their way when they choose to post their personal life stories on here.

Others can choose to ignore if they like but providing they stay within the forums rules they are free to comment. The thing is it is easy for those to say if you don’t like what others post to just ignore it, but the vast majority won’t apply it when others respond to their own or others posts with things they don’t like. The same rule of thumb can also apply if you don’t like what someone posts don’t read it or if you do ignore it or ignore them.

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

Jism I suggest you focus on the job at hand and cease engaging in online nonsense.

We don’t have to agree on everything, especially politics. Politics should never be allowed to get in the way of friendships or personal interactions, even on an online forum. We should be able to put our opinions forward respectfully and accept other posters differing opinions respectfully. I do get what you’re saying about ism and the comments he made about your views on Israel etc. He was clearly wrong and anyone who reads these forum threads would know that. It may be sad and indicative of how I choose to spend some of my spare time, but I read them and know you are anything but pro Israel. I think he was getting his posters mixed up. I also know you have supported him in regards to his custody issues.

I think we should all be able to voice our opinions respectfully and be prepared to accept respectful counter arguments. But when it becomes personal that’s another thing. I don’t like seeing people bullied and made to feel like a bug squashed in the ground just because they are a little neurodiverse in the way they operate. I have family on the spectrum and with other neurodivergent qualities. They don’t always act the way a so-called neurotypical person demands a person should act. So what. So long as they aren’t hurting or abusing others, let them be themselves. If they do cross the line, then yes pull them up on it. Finally, I would really love it if my favourite posters could stop arguing and fighting and try to get along. Now I will press the post button with much trepidation.

Agree with this for all the obvious reasons .Argue about politics and footy is one thing but family matters must be left alone .

[Andrew Walker]

The best way to ensure family matters are left alone is to not air them on a public forum and if that is beyond you I feel it’s probably best you don’t make adversaries by being highly opinionated on divisive matters on the forum you air it on
