Okay everyone…this will take a lot of teamwork, discipline and self control. Ready? I’ve solved our problem;
[SIZE=“4”]DON’T READ THIER THREADS AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANYONE RESPOND TO THEIR THREADS AT ALL. PERIOD.
IF WE DO THIS FOR AWHILE, THEY WILL GO AWAY. IF IT WORKS, AND THEY COME BACK…DO THE SAME THING.
I CAN’T STAND THESE FUCKERS…IT’S GETTING SO RIDICULOUS![/SIZE]
Bah! Rationality? Common sense? This is an internet forum, sir.
What should we do with this resource, which connects us to hundreds of established instructors, historians, and practitioners? Learn, grow, adapt, change? Nay, I say. Verily, we should strive only to watch “adults” bicker about and effectively ruin what is, quite literally, a monumental resource, unprecedented in human history.
I mean, it’s not as if, in my experience teaching children’s karate, I had worked with developmentally disabled kids who had more self control, dignity, and poise than has been presented by these individuals.
Lama Pai Sifu . . . Hell, I am forced to agree with you. Though my martial discipline is divergent from the majority of the forums’ (I’m an Isshinryu karate guy with bits of BJJ thrown in), I have had the distinct pleasure of discussing with, and learning from, many people on this board. You and LKFMDC in particular have many posts regarding martial school business saved on my hard drive.
Srsly, though, kids, cut it out.
I can’t do it. I’m weak. I’m sorry!
I would like to agree with you, but sadly, I cannot, I am too busy ignoring you!!

None of you were obviously around in the old days to remember TKD man, Rolls, Ralaek, knifefighter, panther, Shaun Thingvold, etc…
The forums are pretty dead compared to those days.
And that was also tried on them but they just had a way of hihjacking threads.
Oh Yeah…and stoking the fires of contention!!
All Hail Chaos! Long live the children of rudeness, infantileness, pettiness and other -nesses!!!
Boo to the heralds of order and courtesy. Oh wait, I am one of those myself!
Hmmmm…All Hail the heralds of order and courtesy and Booo to the children of rudeness, infantileness, pettiness and other -nesses!!
I think I got it right now!!

KFM Forums = Lord of the Flies…please discuss.
I say this to you all !!
But… but…
It’s like a car crash.
You want to ignore it… but you just can’t. 
I am a nightmare walking, psychopath talking
King of mo lum just a to-dai stalking
Living life like a firecracker quick is my fuse
Then dead as a deathpack the moon pai I choose
Red or Blue, Cuz or Blood, it just don’t matter
Sucker die for your life when my chyuhn choih scatters
Lama Pai will never die - just multiply
I say we all challenge 1bad65 then back out. He won’t be able to handle the overload and will spaz into another dimension, or break a nail trying to keep up with the typing. Either one should do him in permanently. 
Alright, now where did I put my copy of the code duello…
Good 'ol Wikipedia
A morally-acceptable duel would start with the challenger issuing a traditional, public, personal grievance, based on an insult, directly to the single person who offended the challenger.
The challenged person had the choice of a public apology or other restitution, or choosing the weapons for the duel. The challenger would then propose a place for the “field of honour”. The challenged man had to either accept the site or propose an alternate. The location had to be a place where the opponents could duel without being arrested. It was common for the constables to set aside such places and times and spread the information, so “honest people can avoid unpatrolled places.”
At the field of honor, each side would bring a doctor and seconds. The seconds would try to reconcile the parties by acting as go-betweens to attempt to settle the dispute with an apology or restitution. If reconciliation succeeded, all parties considered the dispute to be honorably settled, and went home.
Each side would have at least one second; three was the traditional number.
If one party failed to appear, he was accounted a coward. The appearing party would win by default. The seconds and sometimes the doctor would bear witness of the cowardice.
If reconciliation failed, the seconds would help their friend prepare for the duel, and keep alert for cheating and the authorities. Cheaters would be shot, usually out of hand. Honorable seconds sometimes shot their own friend if they found him cheating.
Swords were the typical weapon of the time, although it was not uncommon for guns and more unusual items to be selected.
The two parties would start on opposite sides of a square twenty paces wide. Usually the square was marked at the corners with dropped handkerchiefs. Leaving the square was accounted cowardice.
The opponents agreed to duel to an agreed condition. While many modern accounts dwell heavily on “first blood” as the condition, manuals of honor from the day universally deride the practice as dishonorable and unmanly. Far more common was a duel until either one party was physically unable to fight or the physician called a halt. While explicit duels to the death were rare, many duels ended in death of one or both combatants because of the wounds sustained.
When the condition was achieved, the matter was considered settled with the winner proving his point and the loser keeping his reputation for courage.

Hey sledgehammer dueling would be for real men.
