Interweb Challenges!

The following typical threads that plague martial arts sites will get moved here if not just deleted: 1 - My style is better than Your style" - 2 - "Internal & External" - 3 - Personal attacks - 4 - Threads that start well, but degenerate into a spiral of nonsense.

Interweb Challenges!

What's your favorite interweb challenge story?

I once made a disparaging comment about a semi-famous peng-headed taiji fellow, who subsequently tracked me down on another, non-MA-related website, and started blustering about how I made an unprovoked attack and how he was going to be in town and would I say it to his face. We went back and forth via email, and I was assailed with an array of arguments and implied threats that were staggering in their convolutedness, at which point I finally told the gent he was nonsensical and deluded, and mentioned that if I thought he was actually a threat it was far more likely that I would arm myself with an array of knives and/or firearms rather than cower fearfully by my keyboard. He continued to woof a little more and finished with what presumably was meant to be an ominous "see you soon!" and that was the last I heard from him.

It was really an astonishing experience, as I had thought the days of internet challenges were for the most part long since past-- especially since this was coming from someone who must be in his 50's or even 60's.

So... who else has got an internet challenge story from the days of yore? (Nammies need not respond...)

I actually liked the wing Chun: Emin vs William Chung thing from the mid-90's.

Mr. Zero and I got into it back in distant past via email. It ended when I envited him out to the West Bank to cross hands.

Any of the Gary Clyman sucks threads are always entertaining. Regardless of how you think about him personally or his marketing, everyone who knows Gary personally agrees on one thing: he can fight. He also likes to mix it up. I've never met anyone trash talking the man who had actually crossed hands with him.

I don't know if it's the same guy or not, but if so he won't get very far calling my teachers because they're the ones who first taught him.....

Erle published a full account of his dissatisfaction with Dillman and his conduct on his website a long time ago:

There maybe more if you browse further.

He's a jackass who can't keep his aura of superiority unless he's preaching to peeps who don't know anything.

Oh, and he's got 0 percent social skills.

All around not worth spending any time on.

FWIW :)

i was around at the time and remember what earl was teaching before he attended the dillman seminas and what he was teaching after.
the one thing earl learned from being a failed pop star was media manipulation.
