This undercurrent of fragile elitism I'm seeing is really beginning to grate on me.

lol I'm amazed at how long you have kept that prejudice about romaji. What do you mean by "other Japanese written forms" anyway? You speak as if romaji was one of them. If you want to argue, base things on facts.
Why does this have anything to do with elitism? I'm only writing Japanese, my native language, the way it's supposed to be and the way it's written in Japan. How's that so different from you writing English the way you are?
You're so clearly (and mistakenly) 100% pro-romaji. What if YuriTokoro insists on writing English using katakana because she's more comfortable writing English with the letters she grew up using? Would you encourage her to continue doing that or would you try to disuade her from it? What would one achieve if one refused to write English using the alphabet? What confuses me is that you seem to take it for granted that I write English using the writing system that I'm supoposed to use, yet you're being unable to think thngs in relative forms when it comes to Japanese writing.
You keep using the term 'elitism', but if you really see an elitism in the things I state, you've got a serious complex problem. If I ever suggested that all posts be written in Classical Japanese, then call me anything you want. But if you keep calling me names just because I promote the real Japanese writing systems, you will only be supported by other sad anime fans.
