Basic technique forum

I'd like to take this time to say that I think battlefields is a swell guy, despite my disagreeing with him strongly on this issue. My heart is filled with everloving kindness for him and I hope he succeeds in all his ethically sound endeavors.

This reads as a ninja Gong-Sau...

And, I would like to counterpoint this "zomg this Japanese is so hard to understand" with that I had to look up what a whizzer is.

So, yay for looking up things.

[Ian G.R.]

However, pointing all that out would be rather pedantic, and I'm trying to avoid that.

You are such a liar.

Please forgive me if this argument has already been brought up, I skipped a few pages on this thread.

Anyhow: Using the japanese terms is extremely helpful for all the "not natively english speaking" visitors of this forum. Like me.

Many of the english names/descriptions for throws are like bohemian villages to me. The japanese terms on the other hand are allways the same, no matter where one learned them.

OK OK stop beating on the Aussie. He made a point and was flogged for it. He does have a point about people assuming beginners should know what advanced people take for granted.

If he would have not called me and others who post advice pretentious I would have let it go also. I am also thankful to all the peeps who have my back on here. I think this was the main thing that stuck out to some people BF.

I offer the following suggestion if you use internet explorer with the search funkshun in the top right corner.
1) Set it to default google
2) Type your term into it
3) Alt+enter will open the search in a new tab
4) Close tab when done, and bullshido will be as you left it.
=efficient searching

Of course...not everyone uses internet explorer, and I'm thinking of switching over to firefox myself...

I googled it before I even started the thread, took me, like, twenty seconds. Three to load up google, three to enter the word, three for google to load search results, three to open search result and eight to read the fucking thing.

In effect, you were asking to change the status quo, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but is seldom met with anything other than heated opposition from the masses. In your case your suggestion was less efficient than the current standard usage and was consequently dismissed.

If I wanted to be obnoxious, I would apologize that your feeble mind was forced to learn something new and foreign so that you could enter the global conversation regarding Judo and throws in general. Then I would point out that I, and countless others who have never formally studied Judo, had taken the time to learn the nomenclature without complaining about the necessity of doing so. Instead we took the time to educate ourselves in order to enjoy the privilege of intelligent discussion.

However, pointing all that out would be rather pedantic, and I'm trying to avoid that.

I'm just having fun now, you can stop at any time, quite easily, by not looking at this thread...

Here let me point out how silly this bullshit is....

Happy for this to be moved and my corpse flayed...

If you really wanted your topic taken seriously you wouldn't say this at all.

Yes, this is why I said you flipped out. You fully expected to get flamed and then reacted poorly.

I knew you had something ironic, but I thought it was implied in the two quotes you had in your post. Blinded by my own words, how ironic. Pretentiousness is subjective, so I see what you are saying. You also are being pretentious.

No, I'm being an asshole.

[battlefields]

Your shitty little "campaign" is getting in the way of the productive exchange of useful information, so cut it the fuck out.

I flipped out? Where? You mean the "y'all wanna be dicks about it" line? The tone of that was mirroring the tone of the first response, a hint of malice in a throwaway line. Then people began mistaking me for the OP in my vague example thread and I had to make sure that that person wasn't unfairly implicated in my own opinion. Then people went off on tangents unrelated to the intention of the thread. I never strayed from my opinion yet was mauled for it and happily accepted the mauling because my suggestion was deemed, by the majority of posters, to be unworkable.

This has actually been a good discussion, other than the overreactions of some members who really didn't seem to get it.

Thanks IIF, you may, just may, have thrown some water on this flaming.
