An Epic of Internet-challenge Stupidity

[FungFu2u2]

Great bunch of guys over there. I jumped into a thread that I wanted to comment on but didn't wade through every page and I got this response -

"Please explain why the fuck I should read, contemplate, and/or reply to your posts if you don't take the time to read the threads."

Feel free to use that logic here or on the even more long-winded Shaolin Do thread when someone wants to join the discussion.

Att: new posters cannot not join the conversation and/or express their views unless they have completely read every word in this thread.

Now everyone go back and start from the beginning unless you were here when it started.

You need to know where to post, otherwise you will be accused of being someone you are not.

What post are you talking about??

The "Hidden in forms" thread on the CMA forum at Bullshido.

Well that lasted about a day and already I've had enough of the place. I don't mind some restrictions but that's ridiculous. The mod said they were a$$holes, I mean anal, about stuff there but telling someone they have to read an entire thread before posting is just idiotic.

I started reading it but then skimmed over a bunch then jumped to the end and posted. It was on-topic and didn't insult for bash anyone.

So I prefaced my comment with "I haven't read through the whole thread but" and they took offense at that. Maybe they're just looking for a fight, I don't know.

Or maybe that's the Bullshido way of saying "Welcome aboard. We look forward to your comments and views on the martial arts".

I read it, and in their defense, your post did kind of come off as "I didn't read the thread, and don't really have any expertise in this, but here's a post anyway!" Now, I know that's not exactly what you meant, but that kind of thing actually happens a lot. So they tend to get cranky about it.

Just ignore it (it allready got culled from the thread and trollshido'd, with your original on topic comments left in the thread anyway). Go ahead and post your thoughts about whatever, and if they're any good, you'll get a good response.

Such is the bullshido way.

Yeah, let's jump into the middle of a thread without reading it to get any context or history about what is going on. That sounds exactly like the kind of dumb@ss thing you would do. Kind of like your views of MA and fighting... half a$$3d and ill informed.

Actually, it is. You get ribbed to see how thick your skin is. 90% of the people don't read all of the threads. You got crap for admitting you only skimmed.

And you can show me where I said I had no expertise in it? Yet I somehow had a personal experience to offer? I think you need some reading lessons.

Guess I should have come on like I'm the be-all end-all of everything a talked a bunch of BS. Sounds like honesty is not tolerated around there.

Yeah let's just make a comment saying I didn't read any of the thread to get some context even though I said I did. But that's you, don't let facts get in the way if they don't fit into your view of the world.

Now you're going to point to all those threads with my ill informed views of MA and fighting. Should we put a time limit on that so I don't die of old age while waiting?

Actually it wasn't culled. The comments from and to the idiot who *****ed about me commenting on an ancient thread from, let's see, about 3 weeks ago is what got culled.

It's true. The first time I ever posted a question in there (outside of Newbietown), I got flamed for seemingly no reason. It turned out that the person who did this (a member of Bullshido staff) was just trying to see my reaction to it. I actually ended up meeting him (and some BS'ers) in person at a throwdown, and they were all really cool. I was shocked! After the initial flaming, he expained that he was just messin' with me.

[Knifefighter]

Yeah let's ust make a comment saying I didn't read any of the thread to get some context even though I said I did.

Read your own words:

I started reading it but then skimmed over a bunch then jumped to the end and posted.

Since when is skimming and then jumping to the end reading?

What are your views on honor and honesty? I would like to know them BEFORE the ducking on Oct 1st happens.

[Yao Sing]

Well, I wasn't very nice in return so I guess I'm good. But then I don't see that as a place I want to spend much time.

I can barely tolerate the reality challenged idiots here, like Knifefighter.

My view is honesty doesn't always make life easier but dis-honesty will always make it worse.

Since when is skimming and then jumping to the end reading?

Since I used my eyes to recognize the letters as words (that's called r e a d i n g) when I skimmed through the comments that I didn't actually read all the way through.

Did you think I digested them or absorbed then through my skin? You are such an idiot.

Since when is reading half a book reading? Are you related to Pres. Bush? Sure sounds like it.

Then definitely stay away from bullshido. The CMA forum is relatively....is kinder......is safer.........

nevermind. It isn't as harsh as the normal areas but can be almost as bad.

[Yao Sing]

Ok, so somebody tell me - what's the problem with someone commenting on a statement in a post without reading all the BS and side topics etc. preceeding it?

What's the problem with someone answering the above question without reading this whole thread?

So now that I've made a negative comment about Bullshido I'm suddenly suspect in my honesty?
