  12. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    Fair point. How about this? Would you shout out of the blue for no reason once outside the table tennis court? passfid is suggesting that something is wrong with Harimoto's mind if he does that in the arena, whether EXCESSIVELY or not, which is something to be expected in a match, yet has not...
  13. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    No, that's not the point. The point is he's suggesting something is wrong with Harimoto that only happens in the arena. What about his daily life? To the best of my knowledge, I've never seen any Japanese media report anything wrong with him. I've subbed NHK videos about his daily routines...

  18. Is Harimoto's screams disrespectful to the opponent?

    This thread is also framed as a genuine question. You were framing your genuine question merely on his behavior in matches? Why would you think he'd have trouble controlling himself only in matches and not in his daily life? Had you seen his daily life before you asked that? Can you tell...

    Learned from the master. Consistency is not for everyone. Have fun being a moderator. Keep up the good work. 寬己嚴人 Strict on others but lenient on oneself. 同時,儒家極為推崇道德和修養的培育,有所謂“嚴以律己,寬以待人”的說法;並強調明辨是非和信用的重要性,提出“自古皆有死,民 無信不立”等。 Meanwhile, Confucianism strongly promotes the concept of...
