After all, he announced in that thread that he'd "received messages" from people who had "pointed out" "videos/pictures" of me to him, then when challenged on that wasn't able to verify it and say where these things could be obtained or viewed by others in the remaining three and a half days (minus 4 minutes) before the thread was shut down as a waste of bandwidth; whereupon I wrote,
To give him some credit, he did make an attempt to appear to be answering my question by "explaining" why he couldn't give me information which I had never asked for in the first place, while also failing to provide the information I had asked for. Nice attempt at misdirection, but it didn't work.
Misdirection???? I thought misdirection is a perfectly admirable technique for a martial artist! (Smile)
I see you and Mr. Roley still haven't given up. We went through over 1,500 Replies and, most likely over 30,000 Views and you guys still lost. Don't be upset, I previously went through a Frank Dux discussion that lasted over 3,500 Replies so your's, at e-budo, wasn't the thread of all threads.
You called me a liar because I wouldn't tell you where the messengers saw your video/pictures. Strange thing is that
you - yourself posted your own pictures on the thread discussed. Figured you would someday figure that little one out. Now, am I lying or
did you, or did you not post your own pictures on that thread? So, you, and everyone else, can view the pictures that you, yourself, posted on your own website. That's one!!!!!
As far as Dr. Friday (whom I have great respect) and Mr. Roley's great insights into the Ninja-To discussions on e-budo, suffice it to say that both of them did, in fact, say that they really didn't know as the history (to them) is unclear. If Mr. Roley wants to be this 'great historian of traditional Japanese martial arts,' maybe he should stand up for something and stop leaving these little back doors to slip out of. Its a simple question: "did the Ninja use a straight sword?" The history is quite clear, in my opinion, and I don't proclaim to be some type of "great protector of japanese martial arts."
Since you guys couldn't prove one single point in over 1,500 posts, closing the thread and rationalizing it as a waste of bandwidth is appropriate. After all, it is your Forum.
Would you both please just leave the subject of sojobow alone. He's a myth remember - or is he real?............................................... (couldn't figure out that one either could you?) That's two.
Lets just be fellow men interested in The Way. Lets just drop all the drama, whining, crying and begging and deal with what we all have in common as martial artist and scientist. Let the "screams and accusations " cease.
Be well,
