Hello all,
Amazing that a discussion that no one reads each others posts, and results in insults and the like being thrown around would result in a post like the one above from dosan. The fact is that this board is generally lots of fun and contains great discussion.
People come here of their own accord, and how they post, and what they say should be fine topics of discussion. In addition, if parties act one way on one board and one way on another, that should be discussed also.
The public reading this assumes that when someone signs their name with a title of rank, that rank should mean that they might be above personal crap and stick to the topic at hand. That includes dragging their personal life into a discussion where it is not needed. People come here to read and learn about Hapkido - not someone's private, personal issues/problems - I for one could care less about that - regardless of context.
Lastly, it does seem funny to me that although people want to distance themselves from others that they feel are scam artists, their actions and words reflect the time they spent with these people. Dosan, these types of veiled threats are weak and benieth us all here - support your friends all you want, but find a way to express your opinion in an adult manner - your post sounds just like your old mentor in Florida - for shame. This type of Neanderthal, knee jerk response is so juvenile that it borders on outrageous.
The Hapkido of Doju nim Choi, Yong Sul is weakened with this type of discussion.
