To laugh at you guys? Absolutely.

Hey thanks Serpent. In another post you said I was open minded and considered everyone’s posts. I was worrying about you, but I see you’re back to form now.
Heh.
Just becasue a black belt teacher and his master advocate a technique doesn’t mean it is taught by all SD teachers and Masters. We can disagree amongst ourselves you know.
I understand this, but it’s on the main SD message board. Imagine new students coming in and reading that stuff. They’d say, “Well, this black belt said it and he was taught that technique by a Master!”
That makes it canon in SD, at least to some degree. The fact that anyone holds that view is just a joke, let alone those at such a supposedly high level.
Anyway, it’s becoming a moot point. I’m very pleased to see that even a lot of SD people don’t agree with it!
Serpent, I doubt anyone under the age of 12 would think that.

Then you’d be very much mistaken. People, even seemingly sensible grown ups, will believe stuff they read about a subject on which they have no prior knowledge.
It’s easy for you to say that it’s hogwash as you have some exposure to the subject in general, even if not its specifics. Joe Bloggs that’s just seen Kill Bill and decides to do some martial arts classes is gonna get himself killed pretty quickly because he’ll believe sh!t like that. And why shouldn’t he when the only true and pure Shaolin way purports it to be the truth, as evidenced by black belts and Masters? :rolleyes:
