[Grizli]

I've always been sceptical of the claims that the Budo particularly cultivate only positive characteristics in people, any more that football, rugby or cricket does, and these stories reinforce my beliefs. There are nutters is all avenues of life just as there are people of good character but the bad eggs need 'reeling in' and/or removing by their governing body regardless of their rank, influence and ability.

Luckily for Iaidoka, there is no physical contact so the abuse can only come in the form of taunting, shouting and ridicule, which I believe sometimes happens. So much for Budo cultivating people of good character, reserve, peace, compassion and honour.
