No. It's right on the money.

You don't strike me as the type of person that's an expert on Japanese culture.

But he didn't disembowel himself :dunno:

That's the point.

You don't strike me as the type of person that's an expert on Japanese culture.

I doubt you are. I bet I am more astute on the subject.

Looks like an attack on a member. :yesyes:

This is suspicious.

If he had killed himself he would have more than likely committed Seppuku.

Seppuku is also known as harakiri. Link

Maybe he didn't have the stomach for it. :elaugh:

It looks like he finally did to himself what American League hitters did to him throughout the late 90's and early 2000's.

Aaaahahahaha

No. It was free speech.

And, if I recall your previous posts correctly, you are an ardent supporter of the rights of the individual.

Cheers!

Poor guy lead a very, very, very troubled life. Sounds to me like he had a very large problem with the alcohol, as well.
