I believe it has to do with the communication skill.
But when OP asks people what they think of his video, we can respond with critique or criticism of methods used. That isn’t style bashing or fraud busting. You and I have had our differences in the past, but I have respect for your legitimate hard work and knowledge of martial arts in general. If we can’t speak to the quality of what we see when invited, we may as well talk about dogs, chimps, coffee, and traffic.
You are correct, I can be an aggressive, hurtful, bad person. I like to put dog poop in peoples mouths to stem the flow of ******** that comes out. I want to be better, but simply put, I am not. My only true quality is sincerity.
You are not the B or C in my example.
Why do you use such unfriendly word in online discussion? I though we want to make the MT to be a friendly environment.
Absolutely. I will note that in the case of the current thread, I didn't actually see any spot where the OP asked people for feedback on his video. He apparently posted it thinking that viewers would be impressed with his speed. The fact that he didn't ask for feedback does not preclude anyone from offering criticism, of course. I just don't personally bother with spending the time to provide critique unless someone has indicated that they are desirous of it. Life is too short to waste commenting on everything someone does wrong.
Correct. It's criticism or critique of a particular demonstration, not a blanket denunciation of a style or an individual. I do strongly recommend keeping such critique as tactful as possible as otherwise it can lead to flame wars where other site rules get violated.
You are absolute right on this. I still remember there was a thread as:
IMO, your sincerity respond may not be valuable to the OP. But it has great value to the general readers.
I don’t consider whether anyone finds my opinion of value anymore than I worry whether my jokes are funny. Thank you for the compliment in any case.
This was what you have said.
See post #15 he says of his video, “if you don’t like it at least say why.”
In post #16 @Dirty Dog answers that directly.
The OP was insulting, and anything but tactful to nearly every response he got. No surprises about how that went for him. It’s an odd thing around here, like a local bar, every now and again some new guy in town wants to come in on a swagger looking for attention.
The OP is not innocent either.
I use the word I consider accurate. Your question seems crafted to push a specific point, without consideration of the nuance of reality. And that’s a ridiculous stance to take. You can (and usually do) do better.
Are there any posts on this thread that could be deemed ‘nasty’?
From what I’ve seen, the OP became very defensive in response to his punches being equated to ‘tickles’ and being generally useless. The OP probably loves his art and believes he has some ability, hence the videos. For all we know his martial art may be his raisin d’être (quite likely I’d suggest) so the comments might as been as hurtful as calling his partner a ‘fat, ugly woman, once popular with sailors at the dockside and thus of ill-repute’ or his children being ‘of questionable parentage’.
As mentioned, discussions about specific posts are private.
As I noted previously, the OP invited criticism or critique in post #15. You seem to imply that his demographic was a possible influence on the critique. There is no evidence to bolster this. No mention was made of the OP age, gender, locale, race, or socioeconomic status. The critiques and criticisms were based solely on the video and the quality, or lack thereof. To suggest otherwise is to unfairly impugn the character of those who posted critique or criticism. I understand and appreciate your generosity and your empathy for the plight of the OP, but I disagree with your premise that the responses would be different if the OP were simply from a different demographic.
We can call ourselves the downtown gangbangers or the big bang.
