For Gene and the mods...
I'm not one to report people. Nor am I a big practitioner of many types of ip. However, I have found some interest in the topic from some recent posts by various constructive members, and, given that this is a kung fu forum, it seems like we should be able to discuss it without all of us having to answer for any one practitioner's views on it.
That said, it has been some time since we could discuss the topic without someone against it trolling to attract the more extreme people, and derailing the topic.
There are currently five or so threads on the topic. One already saw the reasonable members opting out and the thread starter closing the thread due to faxiawhatever. Who is now working on another one.
I am not placing demands, I am simply stating that this topic on the whole has been trolled to death in the last year, such that most reasonable members who know anything useful are forced to opt out of the thread, and this isn't good for the forum.
I will not be able to be on most of this week. I just want you let you know about what's going on. If the threads stay civil and don't get derailed from one or two member's agendas, great. But I really would love to check in when my work schedule lays off and be able to read more cool stuff about this practice in kung fu, and it's been a loooooong time since that was even an option on an ip thread.
I do not have a problem with them starting new topics off of tangents that come up in the threads at hand, no big deal. I also think its great that faxiawhatever was able to raise so much interest in ip on the forum.
With this renewed interest, I think it would be good if some threads were driven by those who actually practice it.
Have a good one.
