    Cool.

    Its just not going anywhere. Its gotten grossly redundant.

    Whats arguing here going to resolve?

    Im with NP's Paypal idea. Like I said, I got 5 on it.

    Notice I said action, not arguing....If Abel carries out his plans to conclusion, it will result in a resolution, one way or another.

    Now, get off his nutz, SD. I'm on Abel's side here.

    Im on neither side.
    Im not on nuts.
    Those who take sides are "on the nutz".

    "I have the unfortunate affliction of haveing a really good memory."

    hehehe... I could show you some ways to take care of that.

    Actually my long term memory is pretty good still. I think.

    Talking *rubber-necking*

    bahahaha , this whole thing is so freakin ridiculous

    i think shaolin-do is the only one who's scored any points in this whole mess.

    sifu abel, i see why your feathers are ruffled... but if you really want payback, the only logical way to put an end to this (for all of our sake, if not your own) is to come to the new jersey san da tourny next month and fight sifu ross in the ring under san da rules, or no rules whatever.... if its really that big a deal to you, then the cost of a plane ticket to nyc would be negligable - shoot, you could probably get your peeps to sponser you if they believe in the 'cause' and think you can win. heck, a lot of us pay money to fly around and fight just for the competition, let alone upholding some kind of lineage honor or personality conflict. only a month left, better step up the training. you can do it man, do it for johnny!

    sifu ross, you've got to be one of the biggest instigators and ball-busters on the entire web.

    btw, can any of you guys hook me up with some quality flan? not cut with anything nasty, just pure flan. i'm dyin for a fix... i heard that the kfo chinese mafia is the best source for flan.

    men.....

    talk about getting redundant. i think i basically read the same thing....lets count......14.5 times

    i'm assuming most of you were glad to get out of highschool.....why are you so eager to go back? bickering is just a waste of time.....

    but then again, so is responding to the bickering......

    Get used to it Zen. Stuff like this is every bit as much a part of the martial arts 'scene' as any idealized visions of enlightened and benevolent Miyagi types. Moreso actually.

    People invest. Then they bicker. [shrug]

    And yes, I personally was glad to get out of high school.

    ...so is trying to convince a woman that she doesn't know what she's talking about. Men are not women, and our priorities include other things besides shoe sales, cute puppy dogs, and "meeting-cute" movies.

    Why don't you go make your boyfriend a nice chicken-pot-pie now?

    <- thinks MK woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.
    Maybe I should mail you some flan.
    You know what? I forgot that we recently took on a new company - Lake view farms - who includes flan in their product line. I think we have some in the cooler.

    respect is a big deal to a lot of people, someone feels they've been disrespected and often enough wether for themselves or for someone else they want the offender to know that they cannot just disrespect them like that without some feedback either verbal or written or physical or any combination there of. This was a publicly displayed instance between two chinese matial arts sifu. Both feel they have been disrespected and offended. It is between them and no one else. This happened on a pulic forum so naturally people will add thier opinions and observations but it is still between two people and no one else. I think implications that Sifu Ross has disregard for traditional chinese martial arts in favor of san shou is a contextual misinterperataion. I think his gripe was about schools that claim to teach traditional cma but forsake full contact training. It is moot to remember who got hot first, but it happened and until one cedes which will not be done on this forum then respect between the two will not be gained back or given. I wouldn't be surprised if after they fight that they become amicable and grab a drink or something. Just the same that is for them to decide.

    Mk has hit the correct for a home run using a feminist activist as a baseball bat, and then laughed heartily at it.
