Mike I'm going to make this as short as possible.

I'm not the only one who feels the way I do here. IPON took the time out to reply and address many of the things you've written and he beautifully refuted them all. You glossed over that too. There right in post #167 if you missed it.

Second, I know that many SD schools adopt MMA for the reasons that I gave because I know many people who run the schools. PERIOD! You can dismiss this point, but until you run your own school and keep it open with just boxing, then you're playing the assumption game again.

Next, and I feel this needs to be said ... Just because you've gotten something to work for you doesn't mean that it isn't irresponsible to advocate a method that may be risky or dangerous.

Next, I didn't need to come up with anything better than "Maybe those things are missing in YOUR school". It wasn't an attack, just a statement meant to let you know you can't name a reputable school where what you wrote applies. And you still haven't. PERIOD.

Last but not least, all the things you've written in your last post here are addressing points that have already been discussed and addressed. You always do this. You never stick to the topic or points at hand, and decide to go on and on about what you feel I've implied, instead of just reading what I've written.

Post #60 on this topic addresses all the things you've decided to argue today, Mike. Please re-read it and see that most of the minor points that you're speaking about now have already been agreed to and done away with.

Oh and Mike, don't start putting up Vunak as some name that is beyond reproach here. I haven't had to drop one name because my points and arguments have been strong enough to speak for themselves. I have no intentions of discussing your instructor's merits or experience, but if you're going to try to strengthen your arguments with simple name dropping then you're going to change the very nature of this debate. I'm letting you know ahead of time.
