This specific forum has a reputation for people bickering about nothing.
It is an earned reputation. Even when some members agree, they have to bring up old ****, too.
This is not an issue of "the internet". The rest of this website has forums with some flame wars and some discussion. It's the wing chun forum. All flame wars everywhere. Hell, there's a member here who has only posted in lineage war discussions.
If you believe this will not get you banned, you are dreaming. You might want to pick and choose when you fight.
You can be mad at me, but this is the truth. I have modded with Sanjuro Ronin before elsewhere. You leave no option but to ban you, no matter if you are right about someone else being an idiot, you're gone, because it's not your forum, it's not about your view of wing chun or people respecting your knowledge, it's about a shared space and whether you can actually share it. Your small group of friends here cannot save you if you can't share this space.
