Mo, we are and always have been the eF forum. The Yak's forum is an honorless piece of shit monstrosity that stole our name. But I don't go around spouting my opinion or stance about that all the time, since it is not something I would start a conversation to spout about. That's my opinion, but I don't dwell on it.

I am not on 'your team'. I am not on anyone's 'team'. I am an individual, who may discuss gongfu subject matter here. I have no allegiance to any website.

But you need to remember that we are all of us fallible, and that how you choose to respond to people, even now in this newest post, portrays you as unwilling to acknowledge another's point of view, whether it is right or wrong. This is an observation of mine, which others may or may not share. What you do with that is up to you. If you can't acknowledge someone else's point of view, unless you agree with them, or otherwise deem their opinions worthy, it becomes difficult to have conversations.

The fact that you think Fong is asking you to choose sides, or that you are outside and neutral of what the Yak did, speaks a bit about your character.

Perhaps honestly leaving it alone would be a better practice than dredging up ONE individual bone.

context does matter, but in this case it's a straight forward issue. any attempts at perceiving the matter otherwise are just attempts at rationalization.
brian knew full well what he was doing, and chose to pursue the course of action regardless.
to be blunt, i harbor no ill will towards you for your decisions, hell i don't even have any ill will for brian, but i do think we should call a spade a spade...

Show me where I did that, you little hot-air baloon of a man.
