Does Kendo make a good hobby?

Your the reason this forum is going down hill. I don't say these things to be mean. I say them to show you what i feel and how things can change. I don't know what your problem is or care, but i know others care if it changes. please stop being so immature and grow up

"You're"

[m.artist]

i'm not an english teacher, and i doubt you are.
so lay off, be more laid back...

[jubaji]

i'm not an english teacher, ...

You don't say!

You need to capitalize 'English'.

[m.artist]

.........ok..........

*wonders if jubaji is a troll*

[Hikage]

I have a question. Do you ever say anything half way intelligent? Or do you just go around harrasing(sp?) peoples oppinions? You get mad when either I or Hikage gives somebody advice, I just don't seem to see your reasoning for that.

m.artist,

Don't bother. I appreciate that you are trying to clean up around here, but there are some frustrations with which we must always live. Jubaji is easily beaten in his predictability. He will give you more than 2 lines if you attack his character, not his character flaws. Call him on something other than his annoyance and you will see you have beaten him. That is why I no longer bother; it's rather easy.

I guess that he boils down to this...

He was the kind of kid who teachers hated because he was smarter than most of the other students and flaunted that in a way that came off as confrontational and challenging to the teacher. He had a small core group of friends, most of whom were 2 - 4 years younger than he, which remained true until he became about 30. After which time, most of those with whom he spend his time rarely exceed the age of 25-28. He bounces from job to job, never spending more than 2 years in any position, always finding fault with the boss, never accepting his own wanderlust to be the problem. He is restless, and probably is already divorced, with no prospects in the future. I suspect that his relationship with his parents has been strained, but they probably still exist in his life to some extent.

I propose that his martial arts experience follows much the same pattern. More than likely he has studied numerous arts, but never stuck with one because he outsmarted it or fell from favor with the instructor. Perhaps he has earned black belts in several arts (good for him) and has considered creating his own style. In his mind, he feels that he has a pretty good understanding to what's going on in the arts, but in reality has not much to show for it. This is why he always comments, but never really offers anything to demonstrate any kind of martial arts knowledge. He would prefer to pick apart others because he can do that and lie to himself that he is still smarter than everyone else on the board.

Now, to futher gaze into my crystal ball, his response to this is going to be something on how I'm not even close, how much of a flamming jerk I am for considering this level of defamation and at least one of those little yellow guys with a little blob on the right, meant to symbolize ...welll we know.. even though this is supposed to be a "clean board."

No m.artist, I wouldn't bother. Just ignore him and eventually, like the boogy mean, he'll go away. When's the last time you heard someone write "Amen Jubaji! Right on!!"?? You haven't, and never will. Keep on giving your advice, no one takes him seriously.

Take it easy, will ya? Just because I make outrageous claims that I can't support, and that I try to pass off blatant lies in lieu of said support doesn't mean you should attack me!

Oh wait a minute, that wasn't me. That was you ! Yes, I remember now. When challenged to provide any scrap of empirical evidence you made some hollow statement of defiance and then ran with your tail between your legs (and nothing else).

A swing........and a miss!

Profiling. Another thing you can't do. Quite a list you're building isn't it, KI-boy?

I'm not entirely comfortable with the notion that you have spent this much time thinking about me. Shouldn't you be busy watching Teenage Ninja Turtles so you can 'study' ninjustu without actually learning anything about the culture and history from which it developed?











By the way,

[shakes head] Beaten again. How does it feel to be figured out by a mere 24 year old? Predictable, so predictable. For example, if I wrote this whole email using 'u', u wouldn't be able to resist urself and write a note about how it bothers u that I did that.

You don't get it do you? I lay all this out, so that you can see the mirror of yourself and recognize the anger and hatred in you. It's going to kill you someday, somehow. I've said this before, and I'll say it again... I feel sorry for you. My next sentence is going to baffle you, and is going to probably offend you, but here goes anyway...

I pray for you, often... and I love you.

Here's to hoping that it all works out for you in the end...

Aww, how sweet. You might want to work on yourself before spreading the salvation around, padre.

You just keep outdoing yourself. You have really unleashed the inner loser now. You remind me of the geeky little guy who runs into a party, fires off a horrible failed attempt at a put-down, then points at the bored people (who are just terribly embarrassed for the guy) and shouts "you got burned!" "ooh, burned!" "Oh, I got you!" while everyone turns back to their drinks and tries to give him the opportunity to leave before it gets much worse.

So, how long will you go with this persona before trying yet another track? Will you go back to the sage teacher , or the pragmatic fighter , or the peaceful warrior above it all ? Maybe you have more personas you are waiting to trot out when this one fails? Or maybe we will see the return of KI-boy?

[jubaji]

Well you clearly did get under his skin because he took the effort to attack you twice in a row without waiting for a response which shows that he was a bit PO'd.

Anyways i also think that its possible that he found a job from where he can be a complete asshole, and that he gravitates towards other like him. But you clearly got enough of him right.

*quiet Carl Perkins voice* "Here we see the wild geeks attempting to form a social group in order to provide collective security. If we are very quiet we may see their mating rituals begin..."


Sorry guys. Maybe you can still get your money back on Profiling for Dummies if you go back to the store right away. You got ripped off.

[jubaji]

Why not try again, and I'll let you know if you are getting warm?

[jubaji]

We are telling you the asshole that you are and ripping you a new one, which is why you're getting so irate, and your come backs are getting increasingly pathetic.

Oh, you are ripping me a new one? I see.


Carry on.
