It seems I owe an apology. Yesterday there was a thread put up by Alpha Dog, that while meant to be humorous I found offensive, whether that was the intention or not.
This angered me and I became aggressive and a little abusive. I have already apologized to him for this, and hope that he will keep whatever is between him and I, exactly that, between him and I.
While I am sure I will recieve emails from peopel explaining to me the error of my ways, I will pre-empt them by saying that I am aware I represent the Leung Sheung Lineage, Ken Chung its inheritor, Carl Dechiara, his student, and Michael Mallory, my local instructor or group leader (Whichcever he is most comfortable being called ).
Generally I am a level headed person, and although I have many of my own opinions and my own experiences, am open minded and willing to listen to those of others. Lately I have been posting much on my own experiences with my lineage and instructors. this has caught some flack for "spamming", "preaching", and whatever else it has been called. I cannot apologize for that, it is the way I feel and I hope that at some point, people can accept that and move on past it. although I have been and probably will continue to espouse my beliefs, it is a forum after all, you are always free to express yours and I hope that we can continue to discuss wing chun, keeping in mind that we do not know each other, most o fus, do not know the level of experience involved and that although there are some skilled practitioners out there we will continue to deal with imposters as best we can.
The bottom line is the way I posted yesterday was unexcuseable and distasteful and reflect sbadly on my lineage and my instructors and seniors. I have written this apology to show that I am aware of that and am willing to acquiesce here and hope that an apology will suffice for thise slight. For any who had to wade through it I also apologize, for my behaviour was out of line.
