To Akki ---->Grudges
"The best way to deal with a grudge is to stop thinking about the grudge itself and focus on accomplishing important goals. We will gain satisfaction and self-worth from accomplishing these goals. Conversely, the worst possible way to deal with a grudge would be to dwell on it. If we push ahead and create a satisfying life, we will feel less frustrated and less angry. It will take our mind off your grudge. We will be more willing to take responsibility for our actions, and our need to blame will dissipate. We will not want to taint our happiness by being ungracious. In essence, getting ahead in our lives will come to be more important than getting even. Hate begets hate. Happiness begets happiness.

The best way to forget is to improve our behavior and circumstances until we feel safe enough to let go of bitter memories. If someone has upset us in the past, try to work out an informal agreement with the person so you can feel reasonably sure it will not happen again.

Often the reasons of "holding a grudge for someone" are more mental than physical. A bad relationship, poor self image, a history of abuse, stress, frustration and many other factors can change your overall attitude towards life which may directly impede your overall performance. Such tendencies are deep-rooted in mind and nurtured by excessive Negative Emotions.
It is needless to mention that these negative emotions are tremendously powerful. They can debilitate lives extremely quick by causing disparity in energy system, which triggers a sequence of emotional imbalance (i.e. frustration, melancholia, persistent agony, mental instability, uncontrolled anger, inferiority complex etc.), which ultimately culminates in ill health."

You have my support, whac. I know being a foreigner as of now means nothing, but I do wish you victory!

I think you should take this up with Akki in private. As outsiders we shouldn't dare to judge the situation.

Hey Hitoshi is there a civil war?

Koka has the point.

Ehm I agree with Koka too. I dont think this is OUR fight-so keep it between both of you. Its not fair to put your fights and stress on other people, right?
And I dont want my impression of either of you to go down the drain because of it.
Jaaa~

There are so many ways you can look at this...

- Abuse of power
- Holding a Grudge
- Abuse of power x2
- anti-whac propaganda
..Could go on and on.

But him being President, this is definently something that should be kept public. As the people of Japan should know who they elected.

yes, thus Whac being Congressmen, when there were some action taken which could endanger economic system, which alter lives of the people in Japan, it must had to be announced to general public.

>yes, thus Whac being Congressmen, when there were some action taken which could endanger economic system, which alter lives of the people in Japan, it must had to be announced to general public.
What?

Whac, he's saying that, because you were elected to Congress, just as he was elected to the Presidency, you are under the same scrutiy that you claim he is under, therefore:

"But him being President(in Congress), this is definently [sic] something that should be kept public. As the people of Japan should know who they elected."

Since you've thrown it out into the open, and say we are free to voice our opinion (at at the very least you say we should), I'm going to go ahead and voice mine; you sound like a bitter old has-been. When you say someone holds a grudge against you, and then proceed to call them an idiot and say how they are acting "brings you back to kindergarten", you sound less like a violated party and more like a rival. I don't hold any sympathy for rivals, because I think you should be able to handle your own fights instead of crying to the people with a lol-speak-peppered half-rant where you admit that you acted without checking your work and then blame your "rival" for calling you out on it.

All things considered, I think it's time to move on. We've had enough drama with Hitoshi Makoto. We don't need more. At the very least, follow Koka's advice and take it up with Akki personally, even if you think he brought it into the public eye inappropriately. Be the "bigger man".

Geno, your sure as hell entitled to your opinion. But really its substance-less and quite a useless read. All I got from it was that everyone is free to voice their opinion. The rest, shows a bit of your character and a not so pleasant nature.

On a different note, if akki isn't holding a grudge then he is more or less talking out of his ass. I won't have any of it, especially when it involves me and/or the people i'm associated with.

I wont take any sides, but I think this is getting out of control, I suggest both of you keep your conflicts private because they affect how other countries view us and it also concern our citizens that two officials are having a fight when they should be doing their work, I know you have both been active in your work, but that may not be the same opinion of new players. Also whac try to choose your words wisely I understand you are angry but please don't openly insult other players with bad words nor swearing, I know it wasn't proper for Akki to "attack" you but try to express yourself without swearing, in that way I think Akki restrained himself better. But please try to end this conflict or at least not bring it further to the media.

@Suimimura Kazuki: . >Also whac try to choose your words wisely I understand you are angry but please don't openly insult other players with bad words nor swearing
I agree. I was having those moments where a swear word or two makes everything better. Other than I'll keep it clean for the most part.

I'm not taking any sides here also, but like others have epressed, I think this is something that would be best left to private, as I really dislike when someone makes my private business public. Yes, he's a political figure and this could all be drummed up to dirty politics, but really, public attacks really look good.

I understand you may be upset, but if something like this absolutely had to be made public, it should have been worded differently and with less emotion.

@thefallenmage: Sure, you can say that. Maybe my emotions got the best of me, maybe not. Then again...

But there are several offences he's taken that seemingly go un-noticed. Where's his consequence for wrongly blocking me from posting on the forums?

im taking the information industries side with what i just saw is your angry and expressing that over the people that have commented and to others and non specefieds with this being said good job on ranting with your article by stating and restating diffrent things later that might help to prove your point but also make it lengthy and not read by people with shorter attention spans but none the less have fun with this though it could always get worse for you and hopifully it goes its own way based on what you decided to do with you emotions and mental state at this moment

I'm with the others-I dont plan on takeing sides in your petty little fight with Akki.

Geno had some good points really, so dont throw them out in the trash. You dont need evidence to be right-and I dont believe he is a bad person because he states his opinion when you were asking for it.

If your both really thinking of the better of Japan take this to a private conversation and stop envolving others in it. Whether Akki started first or not it is you who can stop it, and you who should start acting like an adult.

I never took those 2 paragraphs that Akki wrote to heart, since I dont believe in gossip and attacking someone else. I'm sure many other people did not either, so you had nothing to worry about in the first place.

This kind of article would be the reason people would not vote for you, or like you. A full article devoted to attacking Akki for making an accusation against you-but yet you did not disagree with it. If it was a misunderstanding then you could have simply said so-and saved us all the wasted time on typing to you.

Also you can not say that as a president you have the freedom to post these kinds of articles. Just as Akki had said-you are also congress so he would have had that right to attack you aswell, right?

I'm sick of seeing this article pop up. This kind of thing between the both of you is going to set a very bad image on Japan, and I like to believe none of us are little children who can not control this kind of emotion.

Take it to private!

I don't see why this should be a private matter. Akki's the President, not a dictator.

Totally agreed with Inferno, You got a problem you tell everyone you want.

I agree that akki is a ass who has always tried to make Whac,TFC and me look bad, but you really made the tax mistake on your own and your response after wasn't that great. But what akki did the day after with his article was dirty and cheap.

"A congressmen posted " 5%,5%, 2%" .. Several congressmen posted similar statistics after that. It got to the point where we needed some verification and I thought it was appropriate to submit it. Ofcourse I assumed that "5,5,2" was Value added tax, Import Tax, Income Tax because that's the order it was presented in eRepublik"
Fail!
Sorry, this argument failed completely!
As far as I can see in the discussion, I saw no one ever post it in that order.
Everyone always use the order used in first post which is 2% 5% 5% or 3% 5% 5%

Current Tax of Housing sector
income - import - VAT
old 3% - 20% - 10 %
new 2% - 0-5 % - 5%

All registered eJapan citizen could see it with their own eyes.

Other than that, I believe Akki response in forum and action to say unrelated things like TFC company internal problem in his article is unwise and unfair.

@Kogarasgi: Dude, they mention it in that format from the 6-13 Post. How did you not notice that. It was in bold too.

I'm being as honest as I can here.
For some reason, I am unable to find post are you talking about here.
I know you said you won't visit the forums anymore but please could you or any TFC member quote the exact post you are referring here?
Or that post actually sets to be invisible to my account?

I also fail to see any of the post you are talking about, i only see people using the way i used it in the first post.
