Is anyone working on an English Hengband FAQ?
Thanks!

You know, occasionally I wonder whether you're dominated by
blinding ignorance or whining childishness. It seems, though,
that both traits have learned to work together to produce a
tremendously effective argument for family planning. Kudos.

Is that supposed to be a joke? I can't tell.

It is most likely drawn from some anime or manga. "Neo" is a common
prefix, it doesn't have to refer to you.

Just a side note: Bogus complaints can be a felony. IANAL, but definitely
get legal advice before filing a complaint unless you're sure you know what
you're doing.

You commit the fallacy of false dichotomy. Please take remedial logic

It would be interesting to see if the DMCA works in Japan. Or against
a non-copyright violation. I also wonder whether barratry can be
reasonably prosecuted across the ocean.
I also wonder whether 'Neo' is a Japanese word with meaning in this
context -- I don't know, but I share your curiosity.
I also am negatively impressed by your opinion of your own flaming
abilities.

It is fairly common to see it in manga, anime, and video games to mean
something like "future" or "new". "Neo Tokyo" appears in several
anime as a futuristic version of Tokyo. A search for "neo anime" in
google returns 118,000 hits.
My dictionary gives "neo" the definition "neo", i.e. it means the same
thing in Japanese as it does in English.

Yes, Chris and William are correct.
We will rename that potion's name from 'Neo Tsuyoshi Special' to
'Neo-Tsuyoshi Special' in the next version.

Just try!
This potion has some use, But we think you dislike
the effect. :]
We will write FAQ or translate on-line help in the
near future. But there is nothing right now.

I was looking through old posts for information on Heng and I happenned to
notice this thread.
Just as a note, the poster did not state that "Neo_1061" _was_ dominated by
blinding ignorance or whining childishness. In fact, the poster did not
state that there was domination by any force at all. The sentence would be
logically interpreted as a series of two questions: is x dominated by b.i.?
is x dominated by w.c.?
There is no either/or dichotomy presented at all, hence no logical error.

Ack. Did you really need to dredge this up? The *cough* discussion is long
over, may it rest in peace.

It's a simple fact that the word 'or', in English, is ambiguous. There are
(at least) four possible meanings when used in a question[1]. Given the
context, it seems that the meaning Neo picked out is the most likely to be
right. And since it is unlikely, at this point, that the original poster
will clarify which meaning was intended, arguing over it now is unlikely to
be productive[2].
HTH, HAND.
[1] "Which one of A or B is true?", "Is at least one of A or B true?", "Is
exactly one of A or B true?", "Is A true? Is B true?"
[2] This is a euphemism for "really stupid and you should know better".

Apart from the fact that, in Neo's case, the correct answer is clearly
"both"...

My argument stands: the original poster, in context, did imply that exactly
one of the two options given was correct. Since the two options are not
mutually exclusive, Neo's assertion that it was a false dichotomy was
accurate.

pelpel
"neo" is a known prefix in Japanese, with
exactly the same meaing as the Greek root,
for example:
_neo nachi_ = Neo-Nazi
_neo kemudashi hennooyu_ = A trademark of certain
toiletary product that was sold when I was a child
(about 30 years ago).
But for the first example, it slightly feels like
names of chemical or pharmaceutical products.
_tsuyoshi_ is an ordary male given name, derived from
the Japanese word for "strong".
