    Dear Kensenbatusaii: I have yet to read a post of yours that isn't a waste of bloody time.

    my posts are not a waste of " bloody time" . I understand you were hurt because you were told off like a twaddling doodle. But it will not affect your kendo, believe me. Your skills are not into that level yet where you think you can dip your finger on issues where high grade and experienced kendokas has a better say. Do you..."bloody" get it? Huh?
