So, why don’t people fill out thier profiles more completely?
It’s a bit irksome to see some newcomer flash up here and start talking smack and you go to check em out to see what thier background is and they don’t have squat listed.
thanks, have a nice day.
Because the less you know about someone, the less ammo you have to use against them.
Very few people read them anyway. When I posted under the name guohuen people would ask me questions the profile could have answered. Mine is now and will remain blank.
well…see, that’s the problem. if someone is afraid to have what they do used against them then they should just shut up and read.
fwiw, I commend the couple of SD people for standing up and taking the heat. There are a lot of people that wouldn’t do that. If nothing else, SD has given those people confidence and determination to stick up for what they believe in.
the people that don’t read them should just be pointed to them.
anyways, just a rant. pay no attention.
I agree with you Oso.
On the flip side, though, I guess the content of their post is probably more important than their profile. But I do like to get a little perspective on where people are coming from.

Ap, well, sure. If the post is a contribution to the discussion and they give some basis for their disagreement then there isn’t much need. Just to many smack talkers who don’t want to be up front about what they do.
Word.
My profile rules all. It has a link to my Hot or Not photo, says my favorite drinks, what I do for a living, what my style is, where I train, my interests (I think in order of liking) and other stuff.
It EVEN has my Yahoo and AOL names for contacting me. But not ICQ since I dont have ICQ.
Philbert, you are my hero. Would you like to be the poster child for my crusade: “Honesty and Truth at KFO”
btw, I gave you an 8.
OK, I’ll give you my 2 cents on the matter, which is why I changed my username in the first place. I don’t mind people here knowing details about me, or asking questions, because that’s why we are here. But I was getting emails from people who lurk on this board, and Yahoo messages, regarding things I had posted.
After I dissed DeMasco one time, I got an email from a guy saying his friend told him he practiced Shaolin Kung Fu and wanted to know if I would look at some videos of this guy so he could be sure. The videos were included in the email, which I watched, and he was obviously doing Kempo. So I responded nicely that it was my opinion his friend was doing Kempo, and pointed out the reasons I thought so. Then, the guy in the videos sends me emails (actually, I think it was the same guy, just pretending to be different) and he wants to go on and on about Shaolin Kempo and blah blah blah.
In the last year, I have had 3 similar incidents, two of them involving DeMasco’s students.
Another time, some 15 year-old kid from South Africa PM’s me like 20 times in one day on Yahoo, asking questions about Kung Fu and training, etc., which I initially answered to the best of my knowledge. But he kept sending me PMs, and mind you, I’m at work during the daytime when I’m on here, so it was a pain in the @ss. I eventually had to block his messages.
didnt know it was you Guohuen… hope everything is cool there
Oso: most of the ppl here are just not so much wasting time, but like, its no big deal, just a forum and somewhere to relax - so to me its no biggie if someone has a profile or not.
But i think if you post a lot you get to know what kind of experiences and styles others who post a lot also do. Which is kinda cool

I’d rather see an empty profile than a signature that takes up the entire height of my screen.
And that’s at 1152x864!
My profile was filled in when I became member back in the old forum.. Hav’nt touched it since.. And I rarely wants to read others
ewallace: youre not talking about FC again are ya? thought he calmed down a bit with that? 
dawood
dez, no. ewallace is complaining about my sig:D
i’ll clean it up one day when I find a single thing that’s funny.
oh, I know, saw something this morning.
'zat better??
had to keep the link to my avatar
and suntzu’s quote is classic
and black jack’s smackdown was totally sweet.
MK, contact info is different.
I don’t want everyone and his brother contacting me either.
background info is what I’m talking about and ESPECIALLY
if they start running their mouth.
you must have gotten all the emails and pm’s cuz you’re so charismatic.
