Not that I´d care but check it out.
ROTFLMAO!!!
I went to the link that related to this forum, thinking it would take me to a deeper explanation of his feelings, and it took me…TO THIS FORUM!!!
I think I’ve spoken with Sharp Phil in the past, from what I recall, he’s a decent guy.
At the same time, I don’t agree with the philosophy on forums. At some point, I think people have talked long enough to bring up things other than kung fu.
Oh well, at least he’s got a link to us.
Funny. I don’t know why he is angry with Martial way. If it’s in the Terms of Service and you violate it there really isn’t much room to complain. Some people just take stuff far too seriously.
Phil is OK, he’s just learned that he can score free books by giving reviews on his site. Guess he’s trying to branch out and get some free stuff from martialartsmart. 
I think Gene should challenge him to a death match.
This made me laugh
? All Weightlifting Boards Everywhere
I don’t know why, but every weightlifting discussion forum I’ve ever seen has been a troll-infested, ****erotic disaster area. Well, okay, only most of them.
“Good concepts burdened by too many juvenile posters.”
He’s got that right.
Some people just don’t get it…
…I mean, it’s a FORUM. A public meeting place for open discussion. And wake up people, John Q. Public is a dumb troll. Really, what do you expect after decades of network TV and fast food?
Fortunately there are enough good people here to make up for it. And I feel the good posters really make an effort to educate old John Q. Troll, or at least to give the rest of us a laugh now and again.
I see.
Thanks everyone.
All of the best kung fu teachers I’ve ever seen with a couple drinks in 'em did about as good a job staying on topic. Never mind those who enjoyed an occassional doobie.:eek: Talk about off on tangents.
Phil puts a lot of effort into his vintage whine
he’s made some good contributions here though.
Gene~ you are correct sir…cheeseburger?
peace
don’t forget the chalupas and … oh ****, seinfeld is on in three minutes! hurry hurry hurry!
Letter to Sharp Phil asking for his help.
Hello,
As every one knows, I can often be an internet Who*re when it comes to goofy stunts to get some traffic (Ok, ANY traffic) on my forums.
In yet another sad attempt to do this, I sent the following letter to Sharp Phil.
Hello,
I was wondering if you would help me out with some reverse marketing. I have several forums at http://www.dreamwater.net/biz/royaldragon/forumlinks.html
Do you think you could include them in your “AVOID THESE FORUMS” list?
The excuse could be that they are boring or something, or even site the fact that I am shamelessly trying to use you to market them??
Thanks,
Gian
Yet, in one more really sad attempt to get some traffic to my site, I then posted this first sad attempt here in the hopes of getting a few laughs, and “Someone” to visit my little forums. 
speaking as a juvenile poster, this place would be boring without a little humour now and then.

This one is funny too
You know, Billy, as a certified Chef I’m also qualified to teach sniper tactics and knife fighting. Did I tell you about the time I was abducted by ancient Egyptian ninja?"
Here is how I view it.
Kung Fu Forum is troll central, we come here for the fun stuff, the bizaree, the off topics.
Shaolin, NPM, Southern Chinese Arts, WC, JKD, etc. Those are where we go FOR our questions about Kung Fu, etc. The main KFO board is the discussion board. The fun place.
If this site had no trolls, it’d turn out like E-Budo. Not dissing E-Budo, love the site, great stuff, but it has more adult humor than just plain craziness humor.
did anyone check out the scars link?
they have disected a thead rouge started to explain why “styled” MAs are insignifigent when compared to the power of the SCARS!
Thanks for all the replies.
Yeah,I agree some humour is not bad at all,some sites have their own sub-forums for such stuff while they are mostly “clean”.
And martialtalk that was mentioned,quite a clean/good board in my opinion.
you trolls (& kung lek)
A forum without trolls is like a Kwoon without challengers. Nothing to test character. Trolls give us the kick in the pants to keep us honest. They test our ablility to be calm in the storm.
Kung Lek - Don’t call me sir. And could you toss some bacon on that cheeseburger?
Yeah Kung Lek, he prefers Mr. Ching.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I like the community here. Hell, if the conversation were strictly limited to shaolin, mantis, etc, the only forum I might actually get some conversation on would be the street fighting one, as no one else here does the style I do, so it would be sort of the one hand clapping thing, or something like that.
Hell, the stuff I do is southern, but most of the southern forum is devoted to other stuff that doesn’t relate all that much except in the most superficial way. And it’s internal, but again, I’m the only stylist who does it on here.
Anyway, in the long run, I suspect I’ll benefit most from knowing lots of good martial artists in the sense they would go out and shoot the **** with me. Then they’ll get all drunk, and I can trick them into teaching me their 100 step dim mak.
