And I thought we were all done with this.., you do realize you are now derailing your own thread
No he doesn't, and that's the problem. This was clearly explained in the OP in both places and clarified later in the threads.
What Xue said was insulting and trollish. It did cross a line, only in that Xue is one of the few posters here I had respect for.
In order to bring yourself to come out and talk to me the way he did and accuse me of being evasive and having something to be ashamed of, you would have to believe that I somehow had something to gain by making a similar challenge elsewhere, that I was a complete and total liar and had nefarious instead of good intentions, AND that I was stupid enough not to be aware that everyone was also on that other forum and that they would not immediately notice, thus falling into some sort of trap. That is how he brought himself to insult me like he did in his 2nd post to this thread. EIther that, or he is simply a mistrusting, disrespectful person.
You got one heck of a chip on your shoulder, and read an awful lot into that that was not there. And as I said, the entire thing could have been avoided, if you would have put aside your ego, and simply said, Yes, it is on another site. Or simply ignored it. It would have been all over. Instead you got angry called me a troll and made some rather unfounded accusations here because why, I dared question you.... wow, just wow.
In the 'heated' DM he refers to, I explained to him that I was upset he said that and that he should either make a concrete accusation against me or apologize. He responded by saying I needed to check my ego at the door.
well, you do have a rather large Ego if this is how you respond
OK folks, here is my answer to the PM
First part
You have quite the chip on your shoulder there.... trolling, no..... And? means nothing (note his answer to my questions was "And?"
Second part
Including the part of his post I quoted
I was thinking of making a facebook group, but now that you mention it, I think a forum on MartialTalk would be better. I don't think the group needs to be private, as long as it is on here, it would be for MartialTalk members only. I think having it on here would make it easier to join and participate. What do you think?
It is also on another web forum..... there for not 'only"
Additionally you could have completely ignored post #10, or simply said "Yes it is" and been done...but instead you decided to call me a troll and then send this ridiculous, heated email. When all it took to make the whole thing stop was to either completely ignore it, or simply say "Yes. it is"
Please check your ego at the door next time
I am not at all surprised that the usual suspects here who have posted the most, would never have joined such a challenge in the first place. It threatens them. You may have valid reasons to think this is not a good idea or not to want to join. But personal mistrust or some paranoid sense of delusion that people are nefarious shouldn't be one of them, especially given the bounds of this contest and the clear and ongoing space that was given to discuss the way the contest could work. I myself don't like posting videos of myself online. I was challenging myself here, in a way. But instead of working together to make this work, certain people decided to try to interrupt it and slow it down. I am not at all heated because of that. It is merely a great disappointment to me.
Usual suspects..interesting.... All this and all you needed to say was, "Yes, I posted it on another forum" and it would all be done.... Or it could simply be that people are not interested here, or elsewhere. Again you did say it was Only for members of MT.... and it was posted on another thread.... but maybe that was a mistake.....
Nothing in anything I first posted said or inferred you were a liar, nothing ever said of inferred anything about your intelligence, nothing ever insinuated nefarious intentions, and there was no trap. That is all in your head. Again, I am thinking ego getting in the way that someone would dare question you, or it could be your got angry at me previously in a post of mine where I did tell you that you used to many words. And now your looking for a way to get even
The second post, which could have been avoided completely, if you had simply posted, "yes I posted it on another forum too", Where you responded with "Don't feed the trolls" instead. And yes I did ask why you were being evasive Because your answer to what I posted below was "And?"
how is that feeding trolls..... explain please?
Who are you calling a troll on MT?
Is that not you on the other site?
Well you seemed to be avoiding answering a simply question. I did not see it as insulting and I was not mistrusting, until you seemed to be avoiding answering simple questions.
And then the silly heated PM full of unfounded accusations like your post here and your demand for apologies.... sorry Grandmaster, nope.... you could have avoided all this...but instead of a simple answer you decided to call me a troll, and not answer simple questions.
But you see, I am not angry, have no need for an apology.... now, you can stop this and it will all die down, or you can continue and I am pretty sure all you will accomplish is getting your own post locked
even though I may not always agree with his approach, it is something that helps

It was JowGaWolf that said it. I can't go back and fix it now, the editing window has expired.
