The boy is definitely confused...someone needs to slap him in the back of the head or something...
I'm just too frustrated to even try to post and straighten him out...not that it would do any good anyway. It would probably just be ignored...

Wish I could say I was surprised. But eh, what can we do about it?

Back Peddle, back peddle, back peddle....
Smugglers are a relative minority compaired to the rest of the professions, so why would Hayden want to put any time into a class that nobody plays? Relative minority mean less people to scream.
I've got news for you, Hayden, nobody plays it except for us few, the proud, the dedicated, because the profession is so dicked its pointless. I'm sure there would be far more smugglers running around if we actually had a working profession.

All that post was was "crowd control".
The peeps started getting restless, so throw them a bone.
Points in calming down a online gameing community
#1 Make a long post.
- Talk about everything thats broke
- Tell them were working on all of the problems
- Tell them there is no ETA for anything
- Tell them your sorry for everything, but don't tell them specifically WHAT they are sorry about
#2 Post at least 2 more follow-ups that say nothing but Blah Blah Blah
#3 Don't post again till the community has fired themselves up again

I volunteer for the 'back of the head slapping' task.
If I can't have it, can I at least get Caylin to come to my dojo for a few days so I can crash-course him on submission and jointlocks?
I don't mind refreshers, it's been a while since I've had the chance to get back in a dojo.

Black in Aikido for me. I'm more of the passive aggressive type

I can't find a place to learn Aikido around here...
For me, black in TKD and I've hada good deal ofexperience with Judo, (Dacascus) kung-fu, philipino stick and a few other things. Simply not happy if I'm not learning something new.

I understand that. Actually, I've studied in depth Wing Chun (Kung-Fu), Muay Thai (too brutal for me), Aikido, I studied Iaido in Japan (wonderful style, highly suggest it) andseveral family styles includingWa-lu(what I've never found any reference to but it's somewhat a crossbetween Japanese Dim-mak and the crane style in Kung-Fu)

Blah, what style do you do Franklee? Shoot fighting? Judo? Brazelian Jujitsu? IM a 10 year wrestler and may be doing some K-1.... maybe we can tag team him Frank... anyways...
I am just blown away that this guy is in such a high position... he obviously is not aware of his surroundings..... If he were over here where I am at, I would punch him in the throat!

A friend of mine does Muay Tai.. he's been doing it for 4-5 years, has no belt, but I know of a few 5th dan blackbelts in TKD he'd show up.. heck, he'd give a 7th Dan I've seen a whole lot of trouble.

.475 Wildey Magnum for me, 8" barrel and 300 grain JSP's in the magazine. All I need to defend my family with. If I feel like going easy, I just change out to the 45 Winmag barrel and use 180 grain HPs.
But I have studied martial arts too - you may find yourself in a situation when taking the time to draw the weapon can get you killed.

To get back on topic, it's good to see all the smugglers showing up in that thread and explaining to Blackman what we're actually angry about. I'd heartily recommend anyone who gives a damn about our profession to do the same.
