Should Americans be banned from this forum?

[J. Schitt]

Some of the disrespectful and childish banter that occurs between idiot US kendo people is tiring. This forum was good once, but is being dragged down by idiots.

Please vote.

PS. Not all from that continent or country are idiots, only the ones that behave like idiots, so if you are not one please don't take offense.

Jack.

Yes, but lets open it up to all idiots of all nations. Or see if we can't get them confined to a nice padded cell.

[KATSUJIN]

woah......such a unusual topic....

[nodachi]

Not all US Kendo people are idiots. Although I will fail to comment anymore on this topic because people of all different countries can or cannot be idiots. Generalizations are not very nice or helpful.

[Hyaku]

Maybe the poll itself is somewhat foolish.

Would it help if we split the forum into Kyu and Dan?

[don_lubo]

That's a good idea J!

[Tashaki Nakata]

I agree most Americans are idiots, but I don't think we should ban them from the forum. It's the closest they'll ever get to a prestigeous environment in kendo.

Anyway, most of the US competitors in the WKC are Japanese. It gets somewhat confusing. It's hard to distinguish idiots just from the flag on the board.

Interesting, somehow I though that you would be the first to bite!

BTW my comments and the poll only apply to idiots.

[dorkusxmaximus]

ouch, and you were the one that asked me what's the point of calling people names too. most americans are idiots, but not all like nodachi says.

[M.K. Kawai]

Kotonk! And Plonk!

wahahahahah

if you don't want americans who aren't idiots to be offended then you should have renamed the topic to "Should American idiots be banned from this forum? or just idiots in general. me being an American idiot am offended. but i think i and most of my fellow american idiots bring alot of useful info to these forums. if you see threads that will obviously bring no kendo info, then just don't read them and get all bent out of shape.

I think if you have a problem with the American populace of the forum then I think it is something you should take up with the moderators. As it seems you are not doing yourself justice by starting up a thread and then insinuating by stating that all Americans are idiots is just blatant idiocy in itself. Maybe you should go back to school and understand what it means to not make crude assertion as you have. Either way I think it is very childish of you to have started up a thread of this calibre to just bring down a group of people, please take this up with the moderators of the forum. If they are unable to provide you with a solution to your problem, then I suggest to you that you go find another forum that excludes American people from using it, you may be more happier like that, or just go outside of your house right now and start whacking away at some tree truck to beat away your frustration of American people. Other than that there is nothing I can suggest to you to help you of your dislike for this group of people. However you could always try this http://www2.ecureme.com/especial/psy...ology_main.asp you may find a cure to your frustration.

Hi.

I mostly lurk, but please be aware that the invective being hurled by American kenshi here at the KW forums does not represent American kenshi as a whole.

Perhaps one solution is to create a new forum for flame-wars and incendiary discussion, while the serious kendo talk can continue on topic. Just a thought!

Ouch! My fellow Americans, please don't prove this correct. Kendo begins and ends with rei, and zanshin is something that happens ALL the time.
