[QUOTE=YouKnowWho;1258696]But I don’t mean to put a line that you have to click it to open but a physical picture as shown in another forum. So far I have not seen any pictures “physically” appear in this forum yet. Is it a bad design? I start to wonder about that.
You don’t see that?

This is the first post on this forum that has ever caused me to experience actual physical anger.

Of course I can see the pictures but I have to click it.
To let text to flow around a picture was available 30 years ago. You would think that this kind of editing function should be available in all online forums today.
My apologies Gene & others,
Perhaps “Wude” is the wrong word here.
Maybe Mianzi is it?
What I am trying to say I guess is that if we acted simply respectful towards others and agreed to disagree now and then without the name-calling, politics and agendas then the whole forum would be a much nicer place, perhaps have more poster or more quality posters and discussions and be more representative of the Chinese Martial Arts?
You know if this forum was run with the same decorum of the Magazine it gets its name from then I think it would be far more successful with more quality level discussions!
Maybe a special section is needed for those who are only here to goof off, or drag others down to their level?
All I’d like to see is the incessant rubbish stop.

It doesn’t say anywhere in the martial ethic that you have to put up with someones opinion and that you can’t call them on it and ask for proof of the workings of their claim.[/QUOTE]
I get your point, but actually I think we more often have the opposite problem. Just as often now I see it is the people wanting proof who are the fools. Because they ask for completely inappropriate proof. People have predefined ideas on what things are.
For example some people have the fixed idea that Gong Fu is the Chinese name for Martial Arts. Then they have predefined ‘Martial Arts’ in their head as ‘the art of fighting to the death in a pit with no rules’. So when asking for proof of your Gong Fu they are asking for proof of you using gong fu to fight to the death in a pit with no rules. This is not appropriate. I do not train towards this ideal. So I can not offer any proof. But just because I cannot satisfy this one view of Gong Fu does that mean I have none?
This is a problem throughout ALL disciplines these days. People have very fixed ideas of what things ‘should’ be and actually want proof to satisfy THEIR OWN predefined view, not ACTUAL proof. This is in fact to me far MORE annoying than simply letting people talk crap.

hmmn death pit fights eh? 
How about a little Chin Na demonstration.
That often can show a lot in a little amount of time.
Ask them to grab you, hold you in whatever way they like (barring sleepers or choke holds) then use chin na to release yourself.
This can impress folk believe it or not. Immovable stance is equally as interesting although it only works if you’ve been training it for a decade.
There are plenty of physics truths found in Kung Fu that can be shown without any death pit fights. I agree though, savage arse holes are in no shortage.

Are you describing people who believe all manner of fantasy and delusion that confirms their own milquetoast chop socky bias? Because thats what it looks like you’re describing.

Don’t worry bro. You practice made up kung fu, might as well practice made up wu de. Can’t really see what further harm it would be at this point.

It takes me a while to get used to the new features on the updated forum.
I like the new feature of video insertion especially.
The color scheme is fine with me.
At the age of everyone having a smartphone and texting.
E mails become conversations, too.
Speech bubble is everywhere.
Facetime, skype, google+/hangout, on and on.

Really I am describing ALL of us, including myself. There is no agreed on absolute measure with Gong Fu, so we all measure it on different scales. This is fine for ourselves, but it becomes ridiculous when we try to compare with each other. Which is why threads which devolve into direct comparisons bore me and I think turn a lot of people off.

No I see no pictures. I see no screen shot. I see a url to kfm. Try uploading a pic directly from your pc, rather than using a link. See how that works out for you. You are using the “insert image” icon, yes? Or are you just manually typing it in?
The pics I posted before, I uploaded those. I’ll try a link. You see this pic:
It doesn’t use url/url or img/img, it uses an attach function.

Maybe your browser needing plug in to view picture.
Or your antiviral program or blocking image with firewall from your antiviral software.

Weird. I’m using chrome. seems to be fine for me. Did you try to upload directly? Sorry I can’t help more, not my wheelhouse. Sometimes ABP messes things up a bit.
This is what your posts look like.

I added the spaces in the url function so you can see what it’s using. Good luck with that.

Now I can understand your frustration. You can see pictures on your screen but all I can see is just a line of characters.
