Not too impressed with Khatzu either, I wrote a comment saying I did not feel it was worth the money (And explained why, politely) and he deleted my comment off the site. However, he sent me an email asking me if I wanted a refund. Interesting. I'm not sure how to interpret the situation.
It's all a money making scheme
You say that like it's bad. It's really no risk because anyone can get a refund for any reason. That's perfectly fair.
Perhaps because people don't consider it 'fair' and more on the bad side when comments are deleted or censored, especially when it comes from a guy that writes like he is one of the coolest, most open minded persons on earth.

Let me get this right, guy tells you NOT to buy his product because you can get the same value for free (he even gives you 2 links for that) and yet you still buy it and feel disappointed?
There's method to what he's doing. "It's an advertising technique. If the thing were truly not worth buying why is there a price attached?" Asking this question combined with the relatively small risk (low price) makes people buy it to see what it really is.
Deleting the comment is kinda weird though.

He runs the website out of his own pocket, and with his own time. Can't he have anything without people like you jumping the gun and demonizing him? Apparently not. He even made an entire section of the QRG article about how no one even needs the book. Deleting a negative comment from some random is the least he can do. This makes me laugh though because you're probably first in line when Khatz posts a new article.

From what I understand, Khatz is a Kenyan who grew up in the UK and attended college in America, so "American" doesn't exactly apply to him much. Of course, the point still stands that it's probably a chosen nickname, but I'm in a nitpicky, anti-PC mood so don't mind me!
This ^^
Watch his interviews (in English) with Tokyosam, and you can hear his English accent. He's a Kenyan with an English accent who was educated in an American college.. at what point did anyone believe his real name would even be remotely close to Khatzumoto 
also just as a note to the people who rag on his writing style, i realise it rubs some people the wrong way, it does have a non serious dry British humour run through it. He isn't big headed at all if you hear him speak, he writes that way for comedic and motivational purposes, which i do find pretty amusing.
Youtube Khatzumoto and look for the vids posted by Tokyosam if you haven't already seen them, will give you a differant look at the guy behind the keyboard.

Will anybody be willing to help me as I'm struggling with AJATT and finding sentences.
Ok so I find a sentence
あの彗星は7年目に現われる.
The problem is how do I know which readings to use, having more then 1 is confusing. I don't know if I'm inputting the correct readings into the answer field. I don't have anybody to confirm if the readings I've put in the answer field are correct.
How do I deal with this?
For most of that sentence, you just look up the words in the dictionary, and use the reading that makes more sense (if there is more than one)
彗星 すいせい
年 ねん
目 め
現われる あらわれる
those are the only readings the dictionary i'm using (and i'm pressuming it's the same one you got that sentence from) gives for those characters.
あのすいせい7ねんめにあらわれる。
The problem is with the 7, i've no idea how that is read 
... in these cases, ask someone with more experience, there are plenty of people around here more than willing to help (most of the time, that is...)
So, can someone enlighten me as to the reading of "7" in this context? しち？なな？
-can we PLEASE keep this thread on-topic... i doubt any good has or will come to anyone from all that off-topic discussion. if you want to fight, please do it privately.

Seriously? At first you say it was stupid that I told you to email someone, and then you go and say the reason why I told you to email someone without connecting the two.
I never said the "reason why you told me to email someone". Making stuff up doesn't get you anywhere, and even if I did that's fine. This is a good example of your irrational statements. Just because there's a reason behind something doesn't mean it's not stupid.
cracky wrote:
Again then back to my original point, you posted it in a public forum. If you have a message for just one person then it's pretty easy to email them from here.
Mhm. This clearly says that you think I should e-mail people if I have a message for one person, and because it's on a public forum. It's called a quote. Thought about getting with the times bro?
cracky wrote:
It was pretty obvious that the reason I told you to email someone was because to me it sounded like you were complaining. You should be able to figure that out really easy by applying logic and remember I am the one without logic not you.
Your contradictions are annoying. See above. If you're going to change your story in a desperation attempt at least do it with accuracy.
cracky wrote:
Your post was obviously disagreeing with his opinion and was trying to sway him into feeling bad for Khatzu
And the sky is blue. I never denied my position on the topic. Saying stuff without reason only proves my point about your illogical thought process.
cracky wrote:
Now of course I am the one without logic, even though you seem so dumbfounded because I responded to a rhetorical question. I did however already explain my intent. You use a rhetorical question to assert or deny something, I disagree with what you are asserting. This is all very simple.
The purpose of my rhetorical question was to make a point about the state society is in, and then you and your big bag ignorance chime in answering my question literally. Yes, you are without logic. I'm glad you agree.
cracky wrote:
I'm not saying I hold any but if you put yourself in the public eye then you will get negative comments and some of them will be deserved.
Groundbreaking.
cracky wrote:
Deleting comments can be seen as trying to control public opinion, it usually makes the person look bad.
The first logical thing you've said. I'm impressed (not really).
cracky wrote:
Go ahead and try to sway every negative post about Khatzu though, even though many of them are valid even if you disagree.
Go ahead and try to sway every positive counterargument about Khaztu though, even though many of them are valid even if you disagree.

The genius behind it is on another level, man.
Almost on the same level as your contribution to this discussion.

Woah!!! Dude!!! Stop!!!
Point the flames in the right direction. He made a valid point. Khatzumoto was willing to discuss the point of disagreement by email. You know, one-on-one. Cracky's suggestion to you seemed like a play on that. At least that's what I think he was getting at. I could be wrong though. Because I find it genius, whether true or not, does not give you warrant to spew your flames at me.
To be a little childish: I quoted cracky, so wasn't even talking to you 
Either way, it's kinda silly to comment on my contribution to this discussion when you've just been arguing with another forum member for last couple of days, now.
Okay, now flame on!
