Spent 30 min writing an answer, and was almost done when the question was deleted (-_-)

at least it wasn't hours of research

japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/71907 I think the linked question is not an actual duplicate since it talks about mascots, not people

@IgorSkochinsky now it's reopened ^^

@By137 あるよね～

@By137 「のりこくん」のスレッドでしたか？

now it's reopened, you can post your answer ＾＾

(違うスレッドだったらごめん)

my guess it was japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/71906 (deleted)

おおっ。。

えっ？

@Chocolate It was a question asking something about a novel or manga with 邪教の集団 and 聖騎士隊

@By137 おぉ。。

でも、考えたら、また次の機会がありそうですね。テーマ的に。

あのユーザーさん、今までにも数回、質問すぐ取り消ししてるんですが、

質問してすぐに自分で答えがわかった、とかですかね・・

特にどのルールに違反してるとかはないですけど、

あんまりやってほしくはないですねえ・・

自分で答えてもいいじゃんって伝えたらいいかな

self answers are perfectly allowed, even encouraged to spread the learning. Though it also helps with verifying your answer.

そうですね、ルビ振ろうとして読めない漢字があった気がする。

It just occurred to me that particles are used in everything that is written or said.

they are even used by themselves

i often see ne written in response to statements

konnbannha even contains a particle

@Chocolate, Are unanswered questions ever deleted?

いいえ

I wanted to attempt an answer

We have a lot of questions with no answers

難しいから残ってるんですけどね

はい

actually there is a roomba script that will clean up old downvoted posts, but they need a score of <0 to be eligible for deletion

I have a possible answer on why mountains and lakes are on and kawa is kun

rivers originate in mountains and lakes

But answering would entail showing some sort of evidence. They are not a collection of hypotheses, suppositions, and opinions. Did you find a credible source that shows because rivers originate in mountains and lakes the kun reading came to be used for them?

They are my thoughts

I wanted to gather others thoughts

OK, but I think you'll find that won't go over well. It pretty much goes directly against site policy. See stackoverflow.blog/2010/09/29/good-subjective-bad-subjective "discussions, debates, opinions — should be closed as subjective." This is about asking, but the principle is the same.

And the rules are stricter than when asking. japanese.stackexchange.com/help/answer-bans

thats why I wanted to discuss it here.

oh ok

see what others think

there is no answer to the question anyhow

Yeah, that's because it is pretty much unanswerable

thats why i wanted to discuss my thoughts

I mean, for the amount of research it would take to get an answer with even a little evidence

Yeah, I see where you are coming from

so far my thoughts can't be disapproved

disproved

would いい匂い indicate a good smell and 悪い 匂いindicate a bad smell ? I am chatting about food.

納豆が悪いの匂いありますね。

悪い匂いとは言わないですね・・「臭い（くさい）」を使います

ああ

わかりました

どうも

@By137you are right

I must be tired. I had it right the first time...

Some companies may pay you for taking those tests

you're talking to a bot :)

nope

i can check with some software engineers on my server too

I'm at a conference and was wondering if it is inappropriate or unwelcome to try to speak Japanese with the Japanese researchers when one-on-one, particularly when their english isn't great.

make it happen, nothing wrong with networking
