Kitten,

If you do a search on this forum for "Toni McSorley," you'll see that this club has actually already been discussed before...

I understand the feeling and admit that it kind of bugs me too. Paul makes a very good point, it is dangerous. So is there anything we, as allegedly responsible people, can do outside of making fun of them?

There are several things that we can do other than just making fun of the website.

1. Make sure that we spread the fact that REAL kendo exists and there is no substitute for it. That is done by giving demonstrations, talking about it in daily conversation and making webpages and giving links for it detailing what it is and where people can go for practice.

2. This one may or may not be considered rude, but it depends on how you go about it. You could go to the dojo and see the practice for yourself. Act like you are interested, but don't give any indication that you are planning to join. If the question of experience comes up, then you can tell them. This could go any number of ways though, but I wouldn't walk in with your chest poked our or anything.

#2 may not invoke anything, so you could always introduce yourself saying, "My name is _______ and I train with the ______ dojo in _____ and I hear you do Kendo here. Is it alright if I sit in for a class and train with you guys next time provided I have time to do so?"

Of course, #2 might be considered rude, but it's just an idea I came up with.

Kid, you are probably the only one in this forum who has less experience than Michiyo Akimoto so perhaps you should concern yourself more with actually getting to the DFW dojo.

*shakes head in dissapointed manner* all i can say is that i hope no one dies. Is it just a bad picture or does her sword look wierd to anybody else, as well as her being stoned?

[chuecalovers]

I've been in more real fights that a word-twisting crusted old wanna-be-tough guy like yourself can ever dream of.

I'll bet you got punched out a lot.
I have never thought that getting into a lot of fights was much to be proud of.

[TheBest-Host]

I'm a tough guy and blah blah blah. . .that does not necessarily mean that everyone else's opinion on other matters is invalid.

I think you are just full of shit.

[Pheddytrourry]

Why do I get the picture that you two are sitting out on the front porch of a retirement home sipping scotch and sodas as a resident nurse types your crothety banter into her laptop and hits 'Submit Reply'?

Either that or you're just in love.

No, this guy is a dipstick and apparently has pissed off enough people to accumulate more neg rep points in a shorter time than anybody.

This is a pretty neat site:

Hmmm..My fortune for today is:

Everybody sees what you appear to be. Some realise what you are, few realise who you are.

and

A person is just about as big as the things that make them angry.


CURSE YOU, FORTUNE COOKIE WEBSITE!!!!
