Bullshit.
If someone were to ask me about Empty Flower and it's internet experts,
I would point out that their "resources" and advice guys have low class, poor manners,
and that's the "ridiculous or stupid or generally shitty aspects" of this board and it's recommendations.
And I would add, that they seem to be proud of this too.
How is Jake providing his local knowledge an example of "low class, poor manners"??
He simply related his experiences - AS HE WAS ASKED TO.
We all know this is the net, and information must be treated carefully - but what, no-one's allowed to provide any info -
when requested, for fear of upsetting you and the class police?
If you were asked about eF, I wouldn't criticise you for giving your opinion, as requestedsilatboy wrote:
So the eF resource is supposed to be the martial arts expert on all things in Seattle ?
If this kind of behavior is your representative standard bearer, then I think that the credibility may be lacking ....
Who said "the" resource was the "martial arts expert"?
I said Jake was asked as
A resource available to eF in Seattle, to give his opinion.
You have commented that you think this was an example of "low class, poor manners" etc.
I say Bullshit.
If you don't want to be a part of the information age, go live in a cave.
If you have a differing opinion on the subject at hand, by all means contribute.
But don't attack others for contributing - THAT'S low class.
