Hey, do you guys think this would be a better forum without all the antagonistic jabs of others by certain individuals? (you know who you are)
this place has a crappy feel to it these days with the overwhelming amount of mean spirited attacks on people for no other reason than to get one’s jollies.
anyway, I’d be all for a lot heavier moderation just because it’s gotten out of hand and you have less kung fu practitioners here than ever because they don’t want to engage in the ignorance that has overrun the forums here.
any mention of kung fu seems to get squashed with either stupid superfluous comments from guys trying to be funny or belligerent challenges from the trollshido peanut gallery.
I’m fine with freedom of speech, but really, is freedom of speech inclusive of derailing threads, turning discussions into shouting matches, obfuscation of the topic and deliberate mean spirited rants in order to try and shut something down?
because, I guess your free speech is more chaotic in scope than mine.
seriously, I’m sure you understand wtf I’m talking about here.
MA = fighting, ALL forms of fighting and debates are just that, verbal fighting.
I have never been one to agree with the personal attacks, but some people just take it to that level for whatever reason.
I have seen this with even great debaters, they eventually all fall into making it personal, why would a collection of *******s like us be any different?
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;1054879]it is a Kung Fu forum and everytime someone posts about an aspect of kung fu, it gets crapped on by people not involved in cma or kung fu.
what’s not to get?[/QUOTE]
Shut up, you stupid Canadian. Take your communist mind control elsewhere.
this is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s not whining to point out the flaws in the machinations of a place that is not functioning properly because it has become a cat box instead.

well, i guess you can only be that which you see yourself to be.
I"m surprsied at how some would prefer to see this place degrade further into a trollshido crap fest.
hard to find a good kung fu forum and this one is getting worse and worse.
I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of the WHINING. There’s this WHINING noise, and it makes it hard for me to hear people with testoterone in their body.
Classic communist.

That’s a very helpful commentary you have running there drake.
Disagreement can be a learning tool and just because one’s views are different does not mean they should be banned or moderated to fit in some cookie cutter fashion that you see fit. Hell, I don’t agree with a lot of people on here but I take their views into account and than put my two cents in. No one is forcing you to agree with anyone here and the world is not some hippie love fest where everyone agrees and sings Kumbaya. (Unless you post on Martial Arts Planet:D).
DJ,
some of these people on here are complete a s s h ol es and contribiute nothign to this website, i agree, and its needs moderation
. Drake freedom of speach is grossly misused here, Im all for being able to say what you want , but lets face it, its abused here ten fold.
The level of dispresct, rudeness and name calling should not be tolerated and needs to be moderated for sure.
If you dont have anythign nice to say about something or someone, or something postitve to cotribute to the thread than refrain from posting in it, trouble is most of these same people would not be so verbal if they were face to face.
Lets talk about what we love with respect. Its liek school chirldren at the palyground out here not a MA website full of grownups.
If you cant make your point or express your opinion without personal attacks then please do not reply in the thread its thats simple.
