I'm not quite sure who I'm replying to, but ... Tsujiu is a masculine
name, if I remember my Japanese right.

Too many ad hominems here to even begin to start - but, simply put, Tsujiu
has revealed himself to be the better simply by NOT resorting to
phillipics, ad hominem, etc.  So far, I've enjoyed the conversation though
I've disagreed the entire time with Tsujiu's premises - I believe that
comparing Slavic culture and socio-political conflicts with
Chinese/Japanese culture does an injustice to both.

NOw why don't we behave like the adults we supposedly are and debate
points and topics, and NOT each other's gender.  Please?  Prosim?
Pazhalujsta?
