I like people who can do the following:
- Given a controversial topic that the person has a strong opinion on, he/she can argue with people who hold an opposing viewpoint without resorting to logical fallacies or name-calling.
- The person can summarize and repeat the opposing viewpoint in an objective manner that satisfies those who hold it.
- The person can then effectively argue the merits of the opposing viewpoint to those who share his viewpoint.
I find that people who can do this are rare and valuable to have as friends and confidants.

To people who mindlessly criticize machine translation based on screenshots / abortive attempts, I provide the following allegory:
One day you hear that you can ride a bicycle to get somewhere faster than walking. You immediately fall on your face as soon as you mount it, and declare, "Bicycles suck! Either walk or buy a car!"
The bicycle is machine translation. Walking is waiting for an actual translation. The car is learning Japanese.

Ha, thanks. It's making the tagging a real pain. I do keep my eyes on what types of content get more views, though this is complicated by the fact that someone can read posts without registering a "vote" by clicking through. Sadly, the posts with more views could simply represent the ones with an interesting feature pic that browsers wanted to see full-size...

A foolish man sees the world around him through a crooked lens, believing only that which is convenient. A wiser but still foolish man seeks to evaluate the world objectively, settling on an absolute truth and insisting on its correctness. A wise man realizes that objective truth is elusive, and that only through considering many perspectives and constantly revising one's assessment can true understanding be reached.

Criticism is the sincerest form of flattery. It means someone is actually paying attention to you.

He who fight trolls should take care that he himself doesn't become a troll. Gaze too long into the Abyss, and the Abyss gazes into you.

I suggested once that the folks at Mangagamer move to China to make their paycheck go a little further. My advice wasn't received very warmly. http://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/10399-the-horror-of-working-in-the-anime-industry/?p=290799

Inner strength comes from recognizing obstacles and persevering despite them--not covering your eyes and stumbling over them because you didn't know any better. http://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/10319-ask-a-fuwan-advice-thread/?p=288365

Saying someone deserves to have something bad to happen to them for

There's two types of people in this world: people who think for themselves and people who let others do the thinking for them.
