I thought some of them were funny!

Worst of all, many of these authors are unable to see that their presence here, in what amounts to an online dojo, makes them representatives of the martial arts, and that their online behavior taints the martial arts and all who practice them— including the owners and moderators of the FightingArts forum— as smug, childish, and asinine. Or, just as bad, willing to countenance those traits in their dojo.

Oh brother,get a grip on reality. This whole dedicated thread should be banned,lol. This is an internet forum,not some sort of sanctuary from any non pure martial artists,sheesh.
I'm not representing anyone or anything else here other than myself and neither is anyone else.

Your holier than thou attitude comes across clearly.

Brian, I still haven't been able to pin point what "style" you study.

In all seriousness though, it doesn't seem like you like our thread.

Dude, just don't look in here and you'll be OK.

i do hate to agree with you brian but i too thought some of the exchange was humorous. despite my love of the first amendment ( whatever that is) i take exception to the last post by chris 12. it is juvenile and gives me a creepy feeling. i hope someone will ask him to leave.

ok,

I have just cleaned the thread up and am hoping you all will sort yourselves out, so it stays open.

Read ZZ's post below before you post, you have all been warned for the final time.

I've taken a look over this thread, and its progression into a middle-school verbal slap-fight depresses me.

I'm not taking an Administrative action at this time, other than to issue this warning:

I'm getting pretty tired of the insults and veiled threats that have been sprinkled around threads like this one of late. If you want to hurl brickbats, do it in PM.

From this point on, anyone who acts childishly will be sent to their room without supper.

Isshinshorinji guys,
This is at least the second time we have been asked to contribute more to other threads.
This is at least the third thread of ours which is coming close to lock down.
I would recommend that we continue to discuss Isshinshorinji here but also add to and take away from other threads so as to broaden our scope on this forum... If we do, then you would realize that Ed peeks his head in on everyone and uses comedy . You would also see that Brian has a wealth of knowledge and contributes often ...
In other words, don't [censored] off the people who really add to the entire forum or we will be shut down for good. Rather, be one of the people who contribute to the forum and essentially are the forum.
Thank you.
Carl

dear brian
what does holding the good table mean?
mom sends her best

It was an analogy and I believe wiggy explained it already.

drop the mom bs please per ZZ.

p.s. Any of you guys have video's of your training in action or any other informative/entertaining shorinji videos?
