Babelfish is no help:

"Bah, to denounce the martial arts cans that becomes à.la.mode.... Soon Phrost will be able to touch royalties...... icon_evil.gif"

I haven't touched anyone's royalties around here, except maybe Ronin's. Hmm, it did involve ice cream, so maybe they know what they're talking about.

Anyone speak enough French to get a better translation for us?

Do you want the entire thread or just the posts with your name?

Doesn't "a la mode" mean, "currently fasionable"? Something like, "of the times"

ah....high school French...a complete waste of 2 semesters.

I used to in university, but I am very rusty now.

What I got from it is that someone on that thread was looking on a website for entrpreneurial opportunities, and came across someone advertising an MA franchise. The conversation was about MA businesses as near as I could tell.

No idea why you came up as a reference. That was the first time your name was used in the thread. I didn't see Bullshido anywhere, either.

MartialRagots ne sert a rien si ce n'est a ventiler la rancoeur du webmestre. C'est le meme principe sur Bullshido.com ou la regle est le bachage gratuit.
Moi, personnellement les trucs negatifs pour rien ca me branche pas. Par contre un truc critique mais juste, dur mais ouvert au dialogue, ca me branche bcp plus.

I think they're saying that websites like bullshido serves no purpose but to vent Phrost's rancor. "It's the same principle at bullshido.com where the rule is gratuitious 'bachage'", whatever 'bachage' means.

He then says that he dosen't like negative things. On the contrary, a critical but fair thing, hard but open to dialogue, is better.

I dunno why he thinks bullshido.net lacks these things. Perhaps his english is poor.

Yeah, Bullshido has been anything but my personal soapbox. This is at the core of how things are structured around here; the staff doesn't dictate things to the membership (outside of the limited moderation), we work to achieve consensus.

Unlike certain other websites, Bullshido is not an exercise in building a cult of personality around myself. As far as I'm concerned, I was just in the right place at the right time with the right idea, and got the ball rolling, with the help of Peedee, I Choke You, JKDChick and everyone that jumped on board in the early days.

What garbage. At the very least, base your criticisms of this site in reality. Nobody minds if you present them here or elsewhere as long as they're valid. Hell, we encourage criticism because it helps us improve upon how we do things.

But that kind of crap is on the level of "OMG Bullshido is just a bunch of MMA guys who wear tight shorts and like to roll around on the ground with each other".

I must have missed the memo.
I'm here for the shorts.
