Hi guys. I am new here cause the guys at the Martial Arts Planet forums banned me. I am saying that so you can decide if I have a grudge or not.
I joined over at MAP forums about 5 days ago. I went in and talked about what I believe in in the various areas of the martial arts. I had a run in with the mod. I voice my opinion strongly. He had a problem with that. I asked him openly in the forums to please talk to me if he had any problems with me.
I went to a particular post and posted my opinion.
Then Yoda, the head of the forums, posts right after my post "Giggle".
Maybe I am overly sensitive. Laughing at someone who said something is disrespectful where I live. What do you guys think?
So I posted that he was a guy that did not know martial arts and he should come back to the thread in about 10 years.
His response was to make another insulting post to me, then ban me before I could reply. Isn't that the act of a coward? Say a bunch of mean stuff, then run away or close the door or ban the person so he cannot respond?
As if that wasn't enough, his posse of fellow administrators also posted derogatory things about me in the thread. I was not allowed to respond to any of them.
Being a martial artist who, when some coward yells names, I chase them down and confront them. So I reregistered and sent personal messages to the people. Out of respect for their feelings, I did not post in the public forums. I thought that we could work it out as adults in the private email.
That coward Yoda banned me, then banned my IP address.
Do you think he was justified to do what he did? He was publicly disrespectful to me by laughing at what I said.
You guys know that the students always follow the teachers example, right? If that Yoda guy, as the forum admin, laughs at what I say, everyone else will think it is OK to make fun of me. I had no choice but to openly challenge him.
Think of it this way. We are at a martial arts seminar. I get up and talk about my style of fighting. This guy Yoda who is another instructor at the seminar then laughs out loud after what I say. Isn't that obviously disrespectful? I don't know about you guys. At the martial arts seminars I go to, I have seen teachers almost start fighting because they disagreed on something simple like how a kick or punch should be done. If one of the people at the seminar laughed at these instructors, the instructor would beat the guy up to show that he was a fighter, that his style was good, and that you better not disrespect him.
Do you think a real martial artists who was confident in his abilities would ban a person, or would they keep talking until the problem is resolved?
