  • Drew a blank Howe

    Check out his silly Viking web site. He has this to say -

    "Having been in and out of a few martial arts / RBSD chat rooms and message boards, I've discovered that most of them are the same. There are some honest and good people that frequent these places that have an interest in gathering information. However, there are others that lurk the halls of cyber world and offer up their hate filled opinions as if they were fact.

    Unfortunately, the moderators of these forums encourage this behavior. For some reason they prefer to have these cyberpunks around that offer no insight and worthless posts. Good people attempt to fight back against these cowards who cloak themselves in anonymity, like a brown paper bag over their heads.

    Of course these guys will remain anonymous because it empowers them to say things to and about people that they otherwise would never be brave enough to put their real names to. Their anonymity provides them with a cloak of false protection from where they feel it is safe to fire their predatory quips.

    I say false protection because as I have learned John Doe's are not perfectly anonymous in cyberspace. There have been several lawsuits won against John Does who spew this crap.

    Personally, I'm of the opinion that lawsuits in these situations are useful, but very time consuming. Like the message boards themselves, it takes time away from the most important things, God and my family. However, sometimes the libelous statements written by cyberpunk can get bad enough that it requires a legal remedy. This option is always a possibility.

    From this point forward I am not going to engage these message board cowards with a response, nor will I visit the message boards where they lurk. It is sad that people have such an ego problem that they can't be civil to others. But, life goes on without them."



    Hey Drew! Don't you have a section on Cyber Frauds?

    For a variety of reasons. I don't particularly want my name, face and address blasted across the internet. The Ninjas may eventually track me down, but I'm not rolling out the red carpet!

    the moderators of these forums encourage this behavior
    Both Ryan and Spanky chimed in to tone it down and knock off the name calling.

    I'm a little befuddled how you can interpret the phrase "It Stops now" as encouragement.

    Ah well, you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but....

      I think a lot of this stuff went too far.

      Like I said, his heart was probably in the right place.

      Drew didn't come across as a fraudulent person. Just someone trying to break into the teaching business.

      Hey, it's hard starting out. I should know.

        Dodges what tomato?

        It's nice to finally hear a reaonable post from someone.

        If we mods say too much the cheese and wine start flowing.

        However, it's past time we made the hard choices... and released the compromising photos of Bitty.

        Thanks RYU.

          It's my pathetic attempt at humor.

          (you know, the ole stereotype of the one reasonable guy who gets pelted by tomatos by two sides of a warring mob? You know? Right? The ole stereotype... the archetypal... the...)

            Attention Drew:

            Either leave or stay.

            You can't go posting things like you did on your site, editing your old posts and saying we're too childish for you while still trolling the site!

            That's weak punk!

            I'd prefer it if you stay as you've been pretty interesting so far.

            Here is your cake

            Here is Edith.

            You cannot have your cake and Edith too.

                  With... tomatos?


                  I still don't get it?











                  Ok, yes, I do. Dodging tomatos on stage when you're act in unappreciated by the crowd. The Ol' Vaudville routines and such.

                      Spanky,

                      You are correct. I will revise my Web site, and pull down my rant. I would like to stick around as well. However, I think I will just concentrate on talking about techniques, concepts, and theory. I'm going to stay out of the name calling and crap like that. It makes everyone who participates in it look bad...including me.

                        I appreciate that Drew.

                        The crap flies in the forum, but man it sure makes the time at work go by fast!

                            That would be a helluva lawsuit. Dealing in international law and such. Hmmm... it would be cheaper to hire the Ninja.

                              That's something I'd like to take back. I also don't like the fact that I dislike Thai Bri. I don't even know the guy. I'll just say that I don't like what he writes. Whatever the motivation, I'm not going to let that be my problem anymore. It was stupid and weak of me to match rudeness with rudeness. It's one of those things as Christian that I shouldn't concern myself with. In the grand scheme it is meaningless.
