I guess this is for those who participated in that closed thread. Just want to make myslf clear that in no way did i intend to be mean..it just sounded that way..and i apologize. I was just pointing out that i havnt met a muslim martial arts teacher even if i lived in a muslim dominated area...gunsmith's and shooting instructors as well as former MNLF and active MILF supporters sympathizers and fighters yes..again i did not mean to be MEAN...i apologize.

I went and read that whole thread out of curiosity...

It was a darn good discussion. Four pages of honest debate, no serious insults or personal attacks, nobody took it into a religious discussion... Too bad it couldn't have just been left for dead.

Did you say MlLF supporters?

Crucible · 07-22-2005, 11:04 AM

MILF. Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
It means something different in the PI than what your used to in the states.

Oh, at first I thought it might be Mom I'd Like to Fu@K.

What's the PI?

Lionleo,
as an observer looking in retrospect its my opinion that you didn't intend anything by it. You stated that you wished to politely differ and that you were only offering your on two cents. You were born in Mindanao and speaking from your own personal experiance. Thats more than many others do here. For myself as some one who has trained a tinsy bit in MA from different parts of Mindanao I honour the spirit of your apology. Of course I can only speak for myself and not for any of our FMA brothers.

I think many times things are misconstrued on forums of this type since many of the subtleties of communication(body langauge and tone of voice) are lost in these forums. I think if all the individuals on that thread we're actually having that discusion over coffee(or what have you), in person it wouldn't have the apearance of sometimes volatility.

If I was on that thread during that time, perhaps I would have said many of the things others had(Actually I know I would have). Dont trip over it, we're all here to learn from each other. Some stuff I agreed with, some...well the threads closed already

.

Ingat(take care).
