Later? 
It has to be applied equally to ALL or it isn’t moderation
If his standard is every single “non constructive post” then let him delete ALL of them, including his own

Dave, please stop it.
Thanks.
Yea, later would be better
Obviously, to apply stricter standards to 999,000+ past posts is an insurmountable task, not to mention a great waste of time. It’s just moving forward.
Once this firestorm passes, David Jamieson & lkfmdc can carry on with their bromance. Come on guys. We’ve all been here a spell. Let’s bury some hatchets (and not in each other’s skull).
modern wushu happened
It is an interesting tentative theory
I remember in 1995 the normal “NACMAF” national tournament which had been 90% (or MORE) traditional got basicly shoved aside so the USA WKF could do the world championships
The taolu (sp?) team trials got more support and press than the san shou team trials
Do you think “traditional” schools assimilated more “wushu” (ie MODERN) concepts to compete in the market place and thus dropped the old hard arse fighting
I mean, those Taiwan events were “gangster” (personally, I think in a GOOD WAY)
True, the taolu got more press, but there were several factors there
Taolu had precedence over Sanda, so it got more coverage in the beginning. We covered a fair amount of Sanda, arguably more than any other publication, and strive to continue that. However, as we both know, the USAWKF is taolu biased now. We don’t have to get too heavy into this as we both know our positions on this, and it’s not positive. Let’s all try to stay positive for a spell, shall we?
We are planning to cover team trials for both taolu and sanda in our next issue equally.

You don’t have to argue it, it is simply a FACT
The ONLY coverage in other places was because people went out of their way to provide it to those outlets
Only you guys actually showed interest. And it WAS (is) appreciated

People seem to think Taolu “sells”. I obviously disagree. I’d also suggest the dismal ticket sales at both World Championships held in North America would be evidence to back my position

You guys do it right. Unfortunately, the team trials for sanshou have become sort of a wasteland, sad really
Thanks for the acknowledgement
When USAWKF took team trials away from Cung a few years back, well, Cung is in our 'hood, so… :rolleyes:

I was “behind the scenes” on that…
I don’t know if you remember, I was trying to do a “USA vs Iran” thing. I was bringing the Iranian team here. Not only did I get no support for that, the USA WKF tried to put the team trials on the same weekend
I don’t want to get too negative either, so let’s just say the fact there is no sanshou anymore in the US is sad and be done with it
lol, yes, let’s not get too negative
But in reference to your USA vs. Iran conflict, I’ll just point out the dates of this year’s sanda trial: July 30th-31st, 2011, Civic Center, Lubbock, Texas. Hmmm, what else is happening in Texas that weekend? Oh right, I'm going to Twin Peaks with some forum friends.
