Hiya! I had a run in with the admin of this site. I was sent to hell, then I was allowed back. That had never happened before. Most men that ban me never allow me to return.
Because he was willing to take a chance on me, I feel like I owe him something. To prove to him that I am not the troublemaker that people say, and that I do know a small something about Kung Fu that other people in the world might find helpful.
----------------------------
Just so you know, this is a used gift.
I tried to give this to the guys over at kung fu magazine. But the usual happened. When I strongly challenged the people their about their knowledge and their statements, they ran to the administrator, Gene Ching, and cried. Because Gene Ching wants to run his website and not deal with crybabies, he came by to have a talk with me.
He told me I needed to stop making the babies cry. He made a mistake though. He called me a troll because that is what all the crybabies told him. Or maybe he was careless with his wording. Regardless, he had just declared my information was of no value, and that I was a person who should not be respected, without ever talking to me. He should not have done that. It was rude and thoughtless on his part. It showed he was an unthinking man whose priorities were providing a quiet and calm child's nursery at his website, and not distributing knowledge about kung fu.
I told him I would give him a chance. I thought he was stupid for giving in to the crying babies. But if he did not ban me for calling him stupid, the next day I would reveal something that to me, is like gold. I have never seen anybody anywhere else in the world talk about it, so I think it must be very rare.
He failed. He saw me challenge his authority publicly by saying he was stupid and saying he was weak because he allowed a bunch of loudmouth know nothings bully him into coming to give me trouble. He could not deal with that. The kind of man Gene Ching is, he needs to be seen as "in control" of the website. If he allowed my words to go unanswered, in his mind, he would lose status and respect from the forum members. So he banned me.
Me? I would get rid of 50 loudmouths in a minute if someone offered me gold for them.
----------------------------------
So after the big gossipy buildup, lets get the ball rolling. The question I started out with at the Kung Fu Magazine forums was:
"What do you think you know, or what do you know about the Yin Yang sign?
The men at the Kung Fu Magazine forums started regurgitating things. All the things you read in books and magazines. But they did not have any real personal knowledge of what the Yin Yang sign is about, or what it means, or what it is trying to tell people.
They could recite from books that Yang is hard and Yin is soft. The Yin Yang sign represents the duality of nature. The Yin Yang sign is the chinese way of viewing the universe. Blah Blah, Blah Blah, Blah.
Those things may be true, but they are things those men read in a book. What I want to know is what do you, the man who has been practicing kung fu for 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years........what do you know about the Yin Yang sign that would actually help ya person in their daily kung fu practice, or what do you know about the Yin Yang sign that would show deep insight into the theories behind why kung fu is performed the way it is?
Just so we are clear about the subject under discussion, here is a picture of the Yin Yang sign.
-------------------
I don't come here every day. And I forget where I posted things. So if I don't come back immediately, be patient, I will be back.
I think it is important for people to stew over new ideas. The rapidfire seconds response of internet forums encourages people to speak without thinking. I might go away for a few days for that reason too.
