Simply put, there are consequences to behaviour. If you ridicule someone, you should be prepared for the consequences.
If memory serves me correctly, the originator of this thread defended a fat @$$ frizzy haired budo bimbette when it was pointed out that she had invited a person with questionable lineage to demonstrate at a sword show. BTW I had a opportunity to view a video of some of the "MA" demos prestented at that show. Very unique stuff.
So, if you put these two statements of yours together Mr. Fujiwara, you have just ridiculed not only the show's organizer, but John Ray, Greg Huff, Scott Irey, Tony Alvarez, James Williams, and myself. We all did "unique stuff" at that sword show you are talking about.
So, are you prepared for the consequences? Gonna look over your shoulder wondering if you're going to meet up with one of us? Lucky for you that most of those you just ridiculed are very talented and experienced martial artists. They will most likely just laugh at you. Of course, there are some that may not!
Mr. Cantwell,
If I put goofy pictures of myself on the internet, yes I would expect them to be laughed at by someone somewhere.
Cheers,
