Nobody knew anything about this stranger before that time. The impression we got from this stranger at that time, was very outspoken and c0cky. He made comments about everybody with a very negative tone and badly attacked Moy Yat, William Cheung, Randy Williams, Augustine Fong and many other well known Sifus on the lists and so on. Wow! that's exactly everybody's reaction at that time. In everybody's minds at that time was...what's going on and what's wrong with this guy who came to our school shooting off his mouth about almost every Sifu and school in the WC community. We just couldn't understand that and where this guy came from and how he could have such a strong opinion on everything about everybody.
Basically we don't care about what this stranger said, we are all mature adults. This stranger was acting like a good friend to our school in the beginning and we treated him as a guest. A few years later... we found out he was creating rumors and stories attacking two schools in particular TWC and HFY. So, we had three instructors who decided to pay this stranger a visit to find out why all these rumors were created by him. At first he agreed to meet up with us in LA, over 3 days, many excuses, he never showed up for the meeting. But the rumors and gossip created and spread by this stranger about this Sifu and that Sifu, this lineage and that lineage etc...never stopped for a moment.
So, what does this story have to do with you KPM? Well, at first nothing, but your behavior and your attitude and your connection with him reminds me of this stranger. Since, this stranger didn't show up for our visit. We already decided to let it rest for over a decade. We don't care or talk about him or what he has been doing all these years. Many of our members still vividly remember this stranger when he came to visit our school twice and copied our school materials and publicized as his own without giving credit to the original source. That type of behavior is being repeated as the public can see with the latest problem this stranger caused the SCWC school in HK as well.
That's why others choose to train for good health. Btw, no joke! When you're getting tired of your key board, there are plenty of wooden dummies and punching bags around to spend your time with. Maybe a beer afterward? Who knows... it's time to make my 4 yrs old look beautiful just like you, Miss America!
