From the thread mission statement.
>on this forum I invite all people to discuss all sorts of Asian topics, especially economic and
political questions and developments in the respective countries, including India and Japan.
But we also want to learn about Asian culture and business culture, how things "work" in
Asia, the "Asian way" of doing things, which I presume may be quite differently at times
than American or European attitudes.<
You say "while I enjoy a good political discussion or debate, my investments are my
livelihood that demands priority. This forum is important because of the major role
that Asia is playing. However, it does have a tendency to drift off to issues that are
too broad, or simply mental masturbation by the crowd in the academia."
Perhaps you should start your own forum and specify that no masturbation is allowed. I happen to really enjoy this one exactly the way it is. I hope it doesn't change. Your comments are insulting and uncalled for, especially when the academic discussions you impugn are within the thread purpose. The philosophical discussions are too. The thread creator obviously had a broad purpose- if you want a narrow thread, focused solely on investment go start your own. Anyone can do it. Did you even bother to read the starting post? |
