Some appologies

Post by Neswizard2 »

First off Sensei, did not mean any disrespect for calling you by your first name. I often forgot it was a dojo. I mean no disrespect. So that leads me to my appology to others for acting foolish.

Words are one thing. But I had saved up for the tradepaperback vol. 3 and decided to donate the money instead to the childrens hospital in the closest sity. I signed it the "from the entire Usagi Yijimbo dojo" and drew in the UYD sign. It felt great.

LAst appology is... :o ...I realized it meant suprised, but not until a few posts. To me it is kind of how I look when I smile so it doesn;t mean suprised it just is me smiling. That could have been viewed as disrespectful as well. I hope to be able to stay in the forum, I enjoy the people here and especailly the site and of course UY comics.

Neswizard2,
The Dojo forum has a relatively laid-back and informal enviroment which is conductive to friendly interaction between various fans as well as allowing Stan Sakai to interact with his fans. I do not believe the Sensei would want you to feel that you have to be overly formal when directing questions to him in this forum.

Very cool gesture!
If you would like to make another similar donation AND receive a very cool book as well, check out DRAWING THE LINE, A Book of Comics Benefiting Cancer Research, published by Stan's friend Suley Fattah. All profits from the sale of this book (and it's sequel) are being donated to Princess Margaret Hospital and the SickKids Foundation. The Usagi Yojimbo short story "Cooking Lesson" was initially published in this anthology.

If you or any other Dojo members would like to learn more or order a copy of either of Suley's two neat benefit books, check out this link:

Personally, I like 8) but sometimes the :? fits me more!

All that is required to stay in the Dojo is to enjoy reading Usagi Yojimbo,everything else seems to follow naturally. So relax, get comfortable, and settle in for a long stay, because if you are a fan of roaming ronin rabbit, you are more than welcome here at the Dojo.

No apologies are needed. As Steve said, it is very informal and friendly here at the Dojo. Indeed, I have made some very good friends as a result of these Boards, not only in the US but throughout the world.

I am very happy to hear that. I was feeling a bit worried about it. Thank you both very much. I will check out the link you posted and I hope to make some friends here too. When I am out of school I would like ot make it out to a comicon in person.

I just got a copy of the grasscutter tradepaperback in and so far I am enjoying it. The forum to me adds a lot to the actual comic book as well. Thanks for being friendly everyone. I enjoy posting and reading the things others post.

thank you again,
