ABSOLUTLY NOT, it was directed at Wall.
The guy whom it was addressed too. And why I was parroting back his words.

it seems that not only do some people have the time to post bs AS YOU PUT IT, but it also seems that a PARTICULAR someone has the time and inclination for going around to each part of the forum looking for what another particular person posts and just being plain childish towards everything that person says.

grow up "dude"

cxt,

I apologise for the confusion. The sequence in which the responses came, led to me getting the wrong end of the stick. I apologise for any offence that I, in turn, caused you. pax [IMG]http://www.fightingarts.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif[/IMG]
Whilst debate is healthy, and i admittedly have no knowledge of any possible 'history' between you and Wall, I am making a plea for a happier tone from all on the sword forum.
It is an area of the MA rife with charlatans and missinformation, much of which can be put right here. Many of the people who seem 'closed minded' and frustrating are merely victims of poor teaching and half truth.
In turn I would request that those who have self taught and/or limited experience with swords, please try and coggitate the info available here, rather than just post back as a defensive reaction. To hear one has only to listen.
Respect to all. Cord.

Cord

No autopsy, no foul.

Were cool.

It was not my intention to be snide, so I apologize if someone took it that way.

Back on topic, thanks to those who posted about what they use.
