I don't see your justification for that post, to be honest. Just because someone isn't as Japan obsessed as someone else means they have less right to post as much? Maybe the person is just talkative, interesting, witty, funny and generally good to chat to? Jorge does an insane amount of knowledge on most things Japanese, but the majority of his posts came from just holding normal conversations.
And last I checked, this wasn't a Japanese culture forum. And this is Other Chat. All of the anime, manga and other Japanese stuff that infests the DCC is ridiculous. That plays a large part in what kills this thread. It alienates anyone who isn't obsessed about that stuff. There's already a Japanese Entertainment section here, keep all that stuff where it belongs.
