What do you guys think of the Martial Arts Planet forum?

I've been on there for a while. I really enjoy it. The atmosphere is very civil, there are MANY practitioners from a variety of systems, and it's extremely well moderated. If you want intelligent discussion without the concern of getting bashed, it's the place to go.

"Never been there. Might be a fun place to troll."

Honestly, why would you do that? Why not contribute to intelligent discussions and, oh, I don't know, actually open yourself up to learning something? Why would you chose to be a troll instead?

"you were asked a direct question from one of the guys that considers you a buddy, and finds your opinions informative..."

I don't consider him a "buddy". And I disagree with many of his opinions. But I really, really dislike witch-hunts, and it seems than KW is being personally targeted by a couple of people for no other reason than they disagree with his opinion.

This Site Might Help You.

Is it worth looking into and contributing to?

KW - Take some notes, mate

I've seen the forum. It's pretty cool and there's a lot of experience from both sides of the Martial Arts training spectrum that contribute. Can't hurt to check it out

Looked like it has a lot more active people than the board that dude advertises all the time.

lil KW, you were asked a direct question from one of the guys that considers you a buddy, and finds your opinions informative, you just gonna leave that hanging?

Edit - My mistake, thanks for clarifying that, I thought you were buddies. I expect nothing less from his peer group.

Witch hunt based on difference of opinion. That's interesting. It was the opinion of the USA military that black people weren't smart enough to fly airplanes, education had nothing to do with it, just the fact they were black. The Tuskeegee Airmen put that issue to rest in a violent manner, simultaneously becoming the most requested escort squadron to a bunch of white dudes in B-17's. It was the opinion of many white and black dudes, that Japanese-Americans shouldn't be fighting in WW2. The 442nd (all Japanese-American - due to opinion, they had to be put in one battalion) are the most decorated combat unit in the history of the USA military. Seems facts, like being the most bad asc guys on the battlefield, or the bravest most daring dog fighters, changed opinion.

Somehow when you read him advising someone TMA is crap because they do not spar, you accept that as opinion, rather than an incorrect fact. You must have missed this too (it's actually weird, you see enough of his posts to see opinion, but have never seen him state something as fact, that is actually a lie) when he constantly states the thing that matters most, is style, not the individual. Even if stated as opinion, which is debatable, it's not even close to being true. Sorry you feel having a responsibility to disseminate facts as information, rather than everyone gets an opinion, as a witch hunt.

I incorrectly stated you were buddies, as a fact, you corrected me. You have some private vendetta or just a witch hunter?
