Folks, I see tempers flaring and I think its time to take a step back n cool off.
Couple of things:
1- We're -way- off topic here.
2- We are dealing with differences in philosophy, and experience.
Kimpatsu is a traditional student of the Japanese arts. Both KenpoTess and nightingale8472 are students of an American art. The Japanese arts have a reputation of being stricter, and more conservative, whereas the American arts are more relaxed and laid back. Its a culture class. (As an example, in some Asian arts being hit with a stick by the instructor to aid your focus is common. In the US, at the least a lawsuit would arise. Both are right for where they are.)
I recomend everyone take a deep breath and relax.
I do not see any harassing going on. I see questions being asked and tangents resulting.
