It's no different than when you come to my home. Act the way I want you to act or you will be ejected. Or worse. If it's really asked for, I'll give it. Fair has nothing to do with it and justice is given at my leisure.
Why should this be any different?
I get the democracy thing, I tried that too. But I didn't actually believe it, It was just a failed attempt at manipulation. That's the fun part. Behavioral sciences are fun!!!
Watched Mr Smith Goes to Washington. Interesting Parallel, so I will say no more and hope all will see what is going on here, but remember with out all of us the Forum would not exist, it would be empty and Void. Much like our words , that we think have so much meaning when we say them. KC

Most of us knew from the get go that this was not a democracy. Those who assumed it was a democracy are some "entitled" type cats.
Gene can, and he did. Deal with it. You have no say in the matter. You can only make it worse.
Oh, and the word "forum" does NOT imply democracy. It can be democratic in some ways, like a town hall meeting where a certain amount of people get to have their say. But then this is not a public gov sponsored forum. It's a private forum that ALLOWS you to participate at their discretion, not yours.

Probably is the SD Mod but there have been many c/o him he stirs the pot more than fixing the problem. Then this happens. I guess we all need a babysitter right ? Not KC

Hey Gene,
If you do unlock it...
Is there any chance you could move it to another forum, like 'other related arts'. I think it has now been conclusively proved that it is not Shaolin Temple Material. That thread is always at the top of the list, so you know, its kind of mildly, vaguely annoying. It vexes me.
"shhh, only dreams now"
I seriously lol'd at that. Woke my wife up.
That thread had a good run. Always twirling, spinning, whirling into something or other....
Kung Fu is good for you.
So MK is the Shaolin Kung Fu forum mod?
Hate to be a buzzkill, but that's not really an accurate statement. While Sin The' did admit to creating lower belt material himself (including short kata and some longer kata) there is still a lot of material above that rank. What we know for sure is that he learned from GM Ie who was a native of China and claimed to have trained with monks from the temple, including the now infamous hairy monk Su Kong Tai Djinn. With GM Ie and Tai Djinn dead and with the current evidence that's been shared publicly, it's pretty much come down to hearsay on actual ties to the temple. I agree the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim, so there is still a lot to establish, but that is a lot different from a statement like "it has now been conclusively proved it [all SD material] is not Shaolin Temple Material." I'm sure a lot of other "true TCMA" out there have tenuous connections to the temple as well.
In any case, put the thread where you will. Those interested in SD will continue to post and discuss. Gene has already established this forum is a benevolent dictatorship, so where he chooses to put the post is representative of his will, not necessarily the will of the people

I love when people get upset over being "mistreated" on a private website, and start crying into the Constitution, like they had just been thrown into a Burmese prison.
Holy hell, I thought KF was a man's art, but some folks here are crying like whiny, snively, sand-in-the-vagina *****es.
Gene could delete this entire forum and replace it with a poorly drawn panda if he wanted. And it likely would have little impact on KFM's sales.

Or is it a Dic tator , either way it is still a Dictatorship. i fear that KFM will go the way of BBM {Black belt Mag} and include all that MMA crap. and sell out for the almighty Dollar. Too bad. karate Illustrated, Stars, Mag and many other defunct Mags sold out for that type of stuff instead of staying true to what they are supposed to be True to, The spreading of the word of Kung Fu. So lets see what happens ? also, If this forum is public then that is who should say what is closed or not otherwise you can own what ever you want but without the Public it wont exist Long ? KC
