Interesting…
More commentary, less linking.
Irony
More originality, less triteness.
Ironic again!
More training, less repetive posts.
The irony is that while you are continually asking for less boring repetitive posts, you are in fact making boring, repetitive posts.
Less caring, more trolling.
Welcome to Bullshido.
Aww. I love the fact that the top two complaints are
1.) That we aren’t polite.
2.) That the place is dominated by MMA nutriders. Like JFS, I’m sure.
That’s not a particularly bad thread, as threads on MAP go.
And they hit on a lot of valid points. There’s a fine line between being proud and confident in your skills/training because you train with aliveness, and outright nutriding.
But anyway, we’re the most popular general Martial Arts forum on the Internet for a reason.
Thats why I posted it. I know I was a bit optimistic in hoping that anyone would actually pay attention to it. It seems they are either too busy trying to prove they are superior in their perceived forum etiquette “less repetitive posts” etc, or throwing unimaginative childish insults at each other.
I havent seen another thread about MAP since I have been surfing this forum in the last few months. And I’m sorry but I’m not dedicated enough to search for repeat posts before I enter them. But in my opinion this thread was a lot more interesting than a high percentage of other recent threads that have degenerated into a series (sometimes 28 pages long) of slanging matches between 1-3 forum members “your a fag, your a bitch… your more of a noob than me…whatever” That’s the sort of shit that should be deleted and the members warned/banned.
You should ALWAYS search for a topic before you make a new thread.
It’s like, good to do.
I personally think that a lot of peple here need to learn to just start a thread in trollshido in the first place to just trash each other. They also need to learn not to joke and flame in threads to the point it gets in the way of arguing about the facts of the matter.
Like that SPM thread? I can barely sort out who is who and who is claiming what in that thread because it is so heated. And I’m SMART.
Are you kidding? It’s the funny stuff that makes Bullshido better then the other ‘bread and water’ MA sites out there. That and the lack of tolerance.
The thing about searching for existing threads has a valid reason behind it. It helps organization and keeps the forums streamlined.
As far as discussions go, we give people a lot of leeway when it comes to expressing opinions because environments which don’t are not very productive for rooting out bullshit and often become festering cespools or safe havens for those who spread it. Sometimes the level of discourse is pretty crude, but it only takes a few moments of observation to figure out who the good members are, and to easily identify the idiots.
Of course, not everyone wants to invest the time in order to do that, and so assumptions run wild.
they have a thread on “how tight is your chest protector” in the TKD section. that made me cry.
I actually thought it was a decent discussion, much fairer then when Andy Murrey was effectively running things there.
