Scotty1.
It was not a slanging match, I was simply checking Sifu Abel (able) out to see what gives.
And he replied exactly as I expected him to, which told me all I wanted to know about him. And which I had suspected for some time.

Thought as much;)
Outward displays of respect ARE fakeâthatâs why I called it a behavior vice somebody having my respect.
Respect IS an attitude, and it ranges from treating people with basic human dignity, even when they are in your power (prisoners of war) to really actually respecting them as somebody who has qualities you admireâsomebody you study to see how they handle things in life in the hopes of improving yourself (One of the Mechanics who used to work for me.)
And I am not confusing ability with respect. My respect for somebody is based on sets of intangible personal qualities that have almost nothing to do with their abilities and everything in the world to do with how they treat other people. You can be the worldâs greatest teacher and the worldâs best fighter, but if you treat people both harshly and inconsistently, break your word constantly, sleep with other peopleâs wives/girlfriends/boyfriends, etc, then youâre not getting my respect as a person.
âThe statement is mute. To say one body of knowledge is equal to one manâs ability is misleading. The only thing that really counts is individual ability. If the person in question has a mastery over himself then you can only measure that against the opponent.â â SifuAbel
the statement is MOOT.

Well to answer your question our dear friend Ralek got dethroned from his throne of trolls by a female southern mantis practitioner.
i wanna be a troll too 
Sifu Abel:
You said you have been at the same location for 20 years. Does that mean you decided not to open a school in So Cal and went back to your No Cal school instead? Just curious, no ulterior motives.
Sunstyle:
You claim to be a seven year BJJ practitioner. With whom did you train and what is your rank? Ulterior motives here, as I am very dubious about this claim.
Ralek = Gene?
I had this theory that Ralek was a charecter being written by a KFOâs hired phycyatrists, or cartoonist or fiction writer or something.
Remember how Ralek would point out he was NOT posing as other people by siteing the fact that he always had a different IP # from them???
I started pointing out the WE could not see an IP#s due to the fact that only Adminitraitors had access to that info, and pretty soon he dissapeared!!!

No, No, I said I was in the same school meaning that I was training for 20 years in one block, in the styles that I practice, instead of jumping around six months here and six months there like some of our esteemed members that put their casual trainings into a total and make it sound like more than it is. When in fact some of these attempts at training could be years apart. Sound familiar red?
Lets see, whats the score?
Red must be psychic, he can tell everything from a few words. What a dipstick.
Merry is in conflict defending respect.
Fightfan is a wanker.
Sun is a borderline troll.
I think that covers it.
Merry is in conflict defending respect.
Sifu, as you are a teacher, show me how?
Abel,
I wouldnât exactly consider you an authority on the subject of respect. See above post by you if any questions arise.
Iâm not being disrespectful, Iâm stating the truth.
Iâm stating the truth
mmmmmâŚIâd say more along the lines of passing judgement.
Answer my question. Or not. Itâs your choice, I suppose.
âiâm stating the truth.â
pretension? table for one? right this wayâŚ
May I get you a menu sir?
What would you like today?
Our drink special is Willfully Obtuse. We make it with a special blend of Condicension Bitters and a light touch of fine Stunted Personal Growth. I think youâll find, however, that it tends to fill your cup and close down the appetite for anything else that is offerred. Perhaps you should try it as an apertif instead.
Yep, It has been confirmed.
Sifu Abel is nothing but a lousy Troll, just look at his most recent Posts.
Or is it Ralek in a âSifu Abelâ guise??
LOL@merryprankster
Still waiting for the 7 years of BJJ answer from Rolls⌠I mean Sun
