Hi Kensenbattosaii-san,

You haven't met me yet, so far. I've missed most everything as to why they don't like you(I still am not exactly sure why, other than they hate your poetry... Would someone tell me please, what he did?), aside from seeing a few posts and then ran across the one nasty thread a certain person here put up, making fun of your poetry posts. Man, you guys are lucky I wasn't around when that happened, because it was mean and spiteful! I'd have put a stop to it, if I'd been here. I don't care if you guys hate him. But, stop making fun of his way of posting! Making fun of how a person writes is just mean. Even if you don't like someone, it's unkind to make personal attacks like that, especially in a thread.

Anyway. I'll bite, since the question was asked a couple posts earlier, but the question was avoided.

I've got the idea that people want to know what dojo you attend and where, and who your sensei is, and, I believe, they want to know your rank, too. I also would like to know what you study please. I assume kendo, but would love to hear it from you. I have seen a couple posts asking this before.

And, now that I'm here, I wouldn't mind getting the answers others never got, please. If you really do train, there's no reason not to tell us anything. So, won't you please just make nice and tell us?

Anyway, think about it. It's easy just to give the info people want. If you asked, I'd be happy to tell you where I train, who my sensei is, etc. It's just not a problem.

So, it's a good idea to do that.

Oh, and please refrain from making belittling, sarcastic or unkind comments to people. And, it's not a good idea to pick on a person's well written and thoughtful kendo journal entry when you have never provided us with anything as to who you are, rank, dojo, sensei, what you study, etc. That just was not a nice thing you did. And, if you can't back yourself up with what I've just asked for, you shouldn't be making any comments at all on it.

Also, I'll defend your way of writing, but I won't defend what you write if it's impolite and full of sarcastic comments as a couple of your posts above include within them.

Oh, and please don't try any of that on me. You won't like my reply if you do. I'll accept polite, well written posts only, even in poetry form. Thank you.

Kaoru

P.S. Nice poetry, btw. I could never write my posts like that! Well, considering just how long my posts usually are... It wouldn't be such a good idea...

Oh, and Kenzan has a point in his first Haiku... Except, am not sure about the Jack*** part. I don't know you well enough yet to make an informed decision on
who you are.

Concentrate on your poetry. It's pretty good!
