My Apologies To All
 

I must apologize to any who misunderstood my posting in "misc". I was under the assumption that if anyone was truly interested that we could have a rational, adult dialog. Unfortunately that did not happen and the thread had to be locked.

I agree with locking the thread.....too bad it had to happen.

You're misunderstanding. I locked it because you're posting near-spam, and I just wanted to save everyone some grief. The other alternative I considered was deleting the thread and punting your account. But if you want to discuss kendo or other Japanese martial arts, stick around.
