Do you really think Muhammed Ali's trainer could kick Ali's a s s? A good teacher and a good fighter may be two different things.

Apparently you had a bad experience with Mr. Funk. I have only met him once at a tournament he was helping with. So I really have no opinion of him pro or con.

The questions you asked were all valid questions. But when you brought up the name of a man who is trying to just run a successful business, you broke a simple rule of polite behavior. Don't attack specific individuals on an internet forum.

Had you asked your questions and left out the instructor's name, no one would have cared and it would have shown class on your part. Many of us here who give our real names have suffered ridicule at one time or another on the Internet. So, we will be protective of others we see being abused in the same way.

Ask as many questions as you desire. Just please don't veil attacks on others under the guise of desiring knowledge. It simply isn't polite!

Now Tonto/Miss Manners will ride off into the sunset.
