1) If you need forum rules dictating that you should not be a total fucking asshole, it's really not worth having you on the board. What did you think was going to happen after you've spent years attacking and insulting the owner of the fucking site? Franky, I should have banned you months ago. Your attitude is absolutely intolerable and certainly doesn't warrant a respectful response to anything you try to say. You have the typical immature, anonymous internet mindset that there are no consequences to acting like a total jackass and I have absolutely no tolerance for that. You seem to believe that mistakes are inexcusable and should never get made under any circumstances, especially not when I'm hammering out these chapters in a matter of hours for free when other groups could take weeks or months. Mistakes do happen, and if that's something you can't accept, I'd love you to show me your school grades. You must have scored a perfect mark on every exam, right? Of course you did. Given your personality, you're either one of those arrogant genius assholes with a 4.0 GPA or one of those angsty C students who thinks their shit doesn't stink.

2) I might have actually considered your request to be unbanned had you not included this particular part of your e-mail. You seem to have this axe to grind with me over the fact that I take payments for my time. I don't know why and frankly, I don't really care, though considering your acceptance of the internet norm that everyone is allowed to be asshole, I'm sure you also subscribe to the notion that everything should be free. I've seen enough people with your exact same mindset to know that they aren't worth the trouble. If you had an angry dog under your roof that hated your guts but liked your food, would you keep him around? Even when faced with the reality that I haven't been paid for kodomo no jikan once in the past 3 years, your response is to double down and tell me I'm a piece of shit for ever taking a payment at any time, so thanks for that. It clearly shows some remorse on your part and a ton of respect for the person you're asking to unban you. Speaking of being better than the people who scanlate stuff for free, have you ever gone through their stuff with a fine tooth comb the way you seem to relish doing it with mine? Pretty sure you'd have some fun ripping their translations to shreds or do you treat them with special kids' gloves because they aren't paid? Don't worry. I already know the answer to that.

3) After seeing your posts every month with the same loud, attack dog bullshit, you wonder why I tend to ignore you? You show no respect, so you get none in return. As much as you want to be a lovable internet asshole, the truth is that nobody likes an asshole unless they're located between someone's legs. I'm more than happy to correct important mistakes when they are pointed out to me, but when the person pointing them out is treating me like a piece of shit, I can't say I'm inclined to lift a finger.

In short, you genuinely had your chance to be unbanned with this e-mail, but you blew it. You've shown me no indication that you regret acting like a putz. In fact, you seem proud of it, and you're basically saying "get over it". So in the interest of preserving a nice community free of trolls, your ban stays in place.

Sayo.

    1.) All though I understand there's no such thing as First Amendment protections for a private message board, please be aware that you did not post any forum rules dictating how we criticize your releases.  It will go a long way towards preventing these sorts of confrontations.

    2.) You received commission payments for this series. Period, end of sentence. Doesn't matter if you got the money 3 years ago or 3 minutes ago. I believe if you receive money in any way, you have to be better than the people who scanlate stuff for free.  If I'm wrong for believing so, then please tell me.

    3.) I did go through the "proper channels" so to speak; below you will see an e-mail I sent to you a while ago to which I never heard a response from you, or seen any indication that the error will be fixed. Indeed, the chapter in the 10th volume you just released still contains that mistake.  So I hope you understand why I felt I needed to express my criticism in your forums.

    Anyhoo, at least give me a warning before doing these things.  It appears you were unhappy with my posts for a long time, and I wished we could have discussed our differences like gentlemen. This is a silly issue to ban someone over, so please unban me, I actually like that community.

    I appreciate all you have done with the manga, but I feel I have to speak up about this issue.  On page 5, fourth panel on the bottom-right, you have Houin-sensei saying "There were an awful lot of them posting as if they knew what they were talking about." Actually, the word 精通 in this case would mean a boy's first ejaculation. Obviously, that would make the situation facing Houin-sensei even more urgent. I just thought I'd point that out.
