[QUOTE=lkfmdc;1103994]Plenty of so called TCMA people on this board fit this description. Just so it rains on both sides of the ball, can we ban them also[/QUOTE]

Yes.

[QUOTE=Dragonzbane76;1104031]when you signed up for the forum you accepted the rule statement about “civil” discussion.[/QUOTE]

Incivility consists of personal attacks, rudeness, disrespectful comments, and aggressive behaviours that disrupt the project and lead to unproductive stress and conflict. Editors are human, capable of mistakes, so a few minor incidents of incivility are not in themselves a major concern. However, a studied pattern of incivility is disruptive and unacceptable, and may result in blocks if it rises to the level of harassment or egregious personal attacks. A single act of incivility can also cross the line if it is severe enough: for instance, extreme verbal abuse or profanity directed at another contributor, or a threat against another person can all result in blocks without consideration of a pattern.

[QUOTE=YouKnowWho;1103991]How about we TCMA lovers all unit together (hope WC guys can join in too). If anyone shows any dis-respect to TCMA, we will all be on that guy’s ass, and show that person what a real trolling suppose to look like.[/QUOTE]

there are 2 main reasons for me to be on line

  1. listen to music from youtube.

  1. post some info tidbits in kung fu related forums.

after staying and reading any forums for a while

you learn to sieve thru all the posts and find something constructive or informative to post.

Clearly, you have nothing else.

[QUOTE=KC Elbows;1103968]I’m not one to report people. Nor am I a big practitioner of many types of ip. However, I have found some interest in the topic from some recent posts by various constructive members, and, given that this is a kung fu forum, it seems like we should be able to discuss it without all of us having to answer for any one practitioner’s views on it.

That said, it has been some time since we could discuss the topic without someone against it trolling to attract the more extreme people, and derailing the topic.

There are currently five or so threads on the topic. One already saw the reasonable members opting out and the thread starter closing the thread due to faxiawhatever. Who is now working on another one.

I am not placing demands, I am simply stating that this topic on the whole has been trolled to death in the last year, such that most reasonable members who know anything useful are forced to opt out of the thread, and this isn’t good for the forum.

I will not be able to be on most of this week. I just want you let you know about what’s going on. If the threads stay civil and don’t get derailed from one or two member’s agendas, great. But I really would love to check in when my work schedule lays off and be able to read more cool stuff about this practice in kung fu, and it’s been a loooooong time since that was even an option on an ip thread.

I do not have a problem with them starting new topics off of tangents that come up in the threads at hand, no big deal. I also think its great that faxiawhatever was able to raise so much interest in ip on the forum.:smiley:

With this renewed interest, I think it would be good if some threads were driven by those who actually practice it.

Have a good one.

Who comes to a martial arts forum to avoid hostility?

The one redeeming quality about this place is that amidst all the chaos the disccusion still manages to be, at times, informative, civil, erudite to the point of pedantry and moderately humorous. That is, for a bunch of figure skating, sequined silk wearing, glorified kickboxing, sexually marginalized Asian fetishist LARPERs.

All parties involved in this latest forum squabble should realize that, ever since Al Gore invented the Internets… crap around similar forums have noticed some weird anomalies , surges and spikes of "From behind the monitor death ninjas and rabid trolls. Please, let’s all take a deep breath, count to 10 and sing Kumbaya!!

and now for something completely different!! :smiley:

when did storm start sporting a mullet?

I can honestly tell you guys that MY patience is running short about some of the crap that is happening so, YES, it would be in everyone’s best interest to troll less and post substance more.

If posts have merit they don’t need trolling and insults to make their point.

I very good member just PM’ed me that they are GONE… I have seen forums become ghost towns, and I think this one may be heading in that direction

Clearly you’re just a glorified k-boxing wife beater wearing phoenix eye fist silk pyjama homemade wine making newb. So go post in the wing chun forum :smiley:

Step!

It truly is unfortunate that there some people here who make valid points and add a lot to conversations without getting personal. I just hope they won’t let one or two bad eggs push them away.

Step!

[QUOTE=lkfmdc;1104172]I very good member just PM’ed me that they are GONE… I have seen forums become ghost towns, and I think this one may be heading in that direction[/QUOTE]

Yeah, got that PM too.

[QUOTE=Lucas;1104131]is that an official title? and can you make me a patch for my gi?[/QUOTE]

Patches are only awarded to those who reach 9th dan 12th stripe of Colostomy-ryu lineage Mouth Boxing quan.

[QUOTE=sanjuro_ronin;1104175]Yeah, got that PM too.[/QUOTE]

Ditto

A real shame, I learned a lot from his posts.

The storm-off / back-an-hour-later drama queens could learn a thing or two about how someone takes their leave in a classy manner…
