Did you see that smiley face at the end of that sentence? And I know you have read the same redundant simple statements that I allured to in my comment. Thanks to the monitors they cleared some of that up.

So now some of us are sensitive and paper thin skin, Men of honor that we can't laugh at ourselves.

Before you get your dandruff up, What do you think about "Fighting girls in competition"? Topic?

I'm use to people disagreeing with me, but at least do it so it pretains to the topic. To answer your question yes we are bottom feeders, we talk liberially about every topic under the sun, water or ground. Noticed I said We, I'm pretty thick skinned take your shot, but stick to the subject.

By the way some of the bottom feeders are some of the toughest fighters in the world be it fish or Man! Don't take offense just because the title does NOT reek of gold, you still may wear a crown.

I've got no problem with fighting girls in competition, but this is a very legitimate topic. Lots of people I have talked to and trained with have problems with it. They've been taught not to hit girls, ever. Well that comes into conflict when you're in a competition, now doesn't it? If you don't see any legitimacy to this topic, then shut up and leave it alone.

You can call yourself a bottom feeder all you want, but do not call me or this website by that name. I know that you did not mean it as a compliment in any way, because that name is not in any way a compliment.

I'm not paper thin, but I do take offense when someone dismisses something so easily that I have worked hard at to make a quality product. I'm not so low as you to take a shot like that(not an insult, you are a self-professed bottom-feeder), but I do come to the defense of that which is unjustly attacked.

Yeah, I guess she might want to talk to a bunch of losers like Us. What do you guys do for a living on the PC all times of day and night?

Speak for yourself.

Personally I come here for infomation and OK, sometimes there's a lot of bunkum on this forum but there are many members here who offer useful advice and knowledge.

People who resort to name-calling or insults often do so because they've been sussed as exagerating slightly. I'm not saying you're lying about a female member at your dojo, but you are making her sound like super-girl who's only weakness is kryptonite!

Chill out Neko456, if she can do what you say she does, what does it matter what some other people on this forum think?

Neko is just one of those crazy guys who thinks he knows martial arts

This is your forum I apologize I could see why you took that serious. But as I stated I did end the sentence with a smiley face. Meaning that I was joking. I spend more time on this forum then any other because of the diversied and unusually topics and personnel that respond.

Once again if this is your forum I meant no harm, I was laughing really at myself. And made comment on how liberial the forum is to voice all oppinons and how good your monitors are.

But I do have a problem with people that think ALL the good MAs do cart wheeling and kick 90 times in a circle on 1 leg or across the ring and think thats real fighting. Or if your names is not on a tourney competition list every week youe'r no good.

You got admit thats pretty weak. Any way I meant no offense, except there are some people that really know what they are talking about here and can dive pretty deep without drowning, others that will drown pretty quick if they come out hopping and kicking on 1 leg, looking for a referee on streets/other level of competition.

You know, I rarely see the few 'big names' posting anywhere. When I want the opinion of a 7th dan, or a koryu specialist...I e-mail them directly. I didn't take umbrage with your initial post, as I saw it as self-deprecating humor, but I would like to point out that a forum is only as good as the members who contribute. Feel free to do your part by picking your words carefully.

Thank you.

This is not my forum, but something I take pride in.

99% of the people with that mindset who post such nonsense on this forum are set straight, the remainder is simply ignored.

Granted the forum seems to handle such issues, again I apologize to any that thought my attempt at humour was poor. I hope not to pull you into the same pit that I reside. Some people see dirty hands as a poor choice of profession or a lack of. I see it as a sure sign of hard work with more then just your mind. Its not the only sign, everything is relative.

Thank you for excepting my sincer apology.

And I hope you can accept my apology for coming on a bit strong on the defensive. I see nothing wrong with dirty hands, although it may not be my profession of choice, I try not to look down upon others and their choices.

take care,
Joel

First Neko knows this superhuman 120 pound female which no one has ever heard of who can beat a 225 pound grown male with martial arts training in a fight.

Now neko thinks most people on here think of martial arts as kicking in circles and doing cartwheels? Funny, I didn't see anyone mention either except YOU.
