Opinions are good, and strong opinions can be awesome. But when things get a little. hot, we all need to step back and chill.
In short, tone it down and keep it friendly and professional, or the thread will be closed, and accounts restricted or banned.

I think the one individual is trying hard to get these reactions, he has been insulting the entire thread despite our gentle initial approach to the topic. Your warning may have come a tad too late.

I mean if your instructor is seeing you get injured virtually every time you go to class and ignoring it that seems rather... ...callus...

Gentlefolk,
If you're missing the hint, the Administrator hat is on. Pointing a finger of blame is unnecessary and almost certainly inappropriate.

If you find a post objectionable, report it, and let us Staff do our job. Don't respond in kind to the post, and maybe give consideration to putting someone who bugs you on Ignore. You won't see their posts, though you might If they are quoted.

Implore away, I don’t think anyone here has gone too far in this thread. In fact, the entire thread was unanimously diverted to give good plausible explanations for their opinions to one offending individual who continues to offend. Although there may not be a necessity, perhaps the finger of blame is not so inaccurate, nor entirely inappropriate in this particular instance.

But true TMA is not a sport - it is self-defense. Encounters trained for are not preplanned and do not entail many minutes of constant hands striking an opponent (actually, original karate utilized few punches). Being so fundamentally different in these respects, its training requirements and methods are different and should be no surprise.

The argument for wrapping your hands is so you can engage in prolonged striking in training without damaging your hands.

The Idea behind engaging in prolonged striking in training is to be good at striking.

If you are either in a street fight or a ring fight. Having good striking is going to help you.

If you fight for ten seconds or ten minutes. Having good striking is going to help you.

There is no real correlation between people who train for the street. And their ability to street fight.

That was just really bad logic.
