You really are not here to help others or prove any point, but to only stir things up. You want people to look at from different perspective but won't give any of your source but that only they are lazy to do their own research. Their research led to belief that they have. If you have a different belief because of your source, you have to provide your source to prove your point. It almost seems like you don't because so far I have seen none - out of 6000+ posts you have made here.
I'm telling you, we don't need someone who only points at that everybody's wrong and back up with nothing.
I dont state someone is wrong, unless they absolutely stated something as so.
Their research, or lack of it, had led them to their beliefs/opinions, mine has led me to mine.
If you think my 6000 posts are useless, then delete them.
At LEAST I post and cant say for those others who come to sdam or not post at all.
I am not here to help anyone. Especially those who refuse to help themselves and hang on to non-sensical beliefs and/or callow thoughts.

Being wrong or right is also subjective and you do not have the ultimate authority to decide one or the other.

Exactly. So, what makes your research better than all others? If you believe your research is correct then prove it here, rather than just saying their research is wrong.
If you think my 6000 posts are useless, then delete them.
I don't think I said they were useless, I said none of them provided any proof as many have asked for after you make such a big accusations about other's belief and research.
At LEAST I post and cant say for those others who come to sdam or not post at all.
I don't know what sdam is but what makes you think posting something controversy for the sake of controversy and putting others down is better than not posting at all? In fact, you have made a lot of negative comments about people joining and not posting at all. It's their choice and we as a forum don't slam them for it.
I am not here to help anyone. Especially those who refuse to help themselves and hang on to non-sensical beliefs and/or callow thoughts.
If you are not here to help anyone, why are you here? This is a free martial arts community forum - for to get help and to lend help. Just because someone doesn't share your views or change their view to your when you show no proof, doesn't mean they are the kind of people who refuse to help themselves.
Honestly, why are you here? You started very controversy and belligerent initially. Then, you went away for a while, came back and you started being more civil. Now, you have started back to your old ways - putting people down for their different views than yours, refusing to see from anyone else's point of view, insulting many members, driving many of them away, and still insisting that all the problem lies with the receiver not with the giver.
Take a break. If you still want to continue down this path, you are not welcome here.
I don't think it is that difficult to be considerate for others in your posts. I have only one question. What do you gain from spending hours of your day doing something that isn't benefiting anyone? MartialMan, you said you aren't here to help others, and I don't see how anyone here can help you--So I wouldn't be wasting my time if I was you. If you have something to gain, than continue on. I just don't see the point of getting on this site to waste time that is better used doing something useful.

I like this post. It is looking at a situation rationaly.
Ok....last thing I have to say on this...
I am not here to help others. I am here to chat/discuss. I enjoy company of those who share same aspirations. Indeed, some posts are a little callow, silly, brash, forthright, etc., it is who we are as individuals that reflect our opinions/posts.
If I help anyone along the way, it is out of casual contact and not my sole purpose. I rather help people in person. Thus my actual actions far out weigh any I can do on a forum. (If anyone has ever did something good for the sake of doing it without personal gain, then you know what I am talking about)
I disagree because I look at other perspectives. These may or may not be conclusive formulated perspectives.
Indeed, if I read a post that "bothers me", I am going to reply with forthright conviction. (Ex-"American Ginseng is the worst." From my research - it is not. So I would call this a incorrect statement or someone needs to do more research.)
To find out what useful information and such that I had contributed, all one has to do is go back and read my thread starters and re-read my posts....if you have time.
Back to topic.....
There is a member here who thinks TKD is useless or not worthy. Though I think it is a propganda vehicle, I am not taking away its effectiveness and that in Korea, they definately train harder at it than anywhere else. (My sources drive my opinion....to ask for proof or challenge my sources is to ask proof or challenge my opinion.)

Well put, Martialman. That's the way to stay civilized even if we still disagree on few things.
You are not obligated to help anyone here, although the community/forum works when people help each other.
I only have one issue with your last statement. My sources/research help me form my opinion - and sometime it's right and sometimes it's wrong, depending on my source/research. I would like to think I"m right but I always reserve a room for error even when I feel very strongly about something. Why is it that you feel that your sources/research is always right compared to others? I think that lies the main problem people have with your hard nosed statements. I'm not saying you are wrong when you disagree with certain statements made here (e.g. American gineseng is the worst) But, when two people disagree based on their own individual research, why is yours always right? That's the part that I don't understand.
Our school does not resemble Olympic style fighting at all. Most of our time is spent sparring, thank God. Every class does spend time on how to quickly destroy an aggressor in different scenarios (ie, hiding behind a wall, grabbing, etc). The more posts I read here the luckier I feel about my school.
What's really cool is at the beginning of the year we will have access to Jujitsu as well as TDK. It will be fun

* Helping on such a community is "almost" as futile as one learning from a book. Forums are mainlt chat/discussion platforms. A little info is dashed in.
** As with "any research", support can be found for either side. (Reminds me of a Chrsitian/Athiest Blog I ran across-or Christian "for" or "against" martial art practice)
Mine is right, because it is my right to think so based upon my opinion. One cannot think or hold a opinion if they dont think of their's as being right. For example, and not to pick on Christians; A Christian would think that their opinion of God, or their religion is "right". Their research is their version of the bible and they trust their source.
Then along comes a Christian (to stay with the example and analogy) that thinks of the other perspectives of what he has been told, or what he has been led to believe. This Chrsitian, starts to challenge everything he had known. These challenges upon "other Christians" and their sources, are very disturbing and can be received as insult.
Get "it" now?
(Sorry-I thought my other post was the last thing had to say...goes to show, all of us continue to go off topic as someone had inticed me to respond.)

At least we know where you stand now - always right no matter what. You are certainly entitled to think that way, as all other members do so when you disagree, just have respect for others who has a different view. Otherwise, I don't see any value you bring to this forum - not here to help anybody else, being closed minded about your opinion, putting others down for their different view - it's not the right kind of formula for this forum.
