When I was learning to be a bartender, there were 3 things I was told to never discuss with a customer :
1. Never discuss religon
2. Never discuss money
3. Never discuss politics
The reason was it would cause more arguments than anything else. This is what I see has somewhat happened here.
Well me I'm not religous so that has no bearing here for me, but it does for others, which is fine that's their right.
Sport, not really any more, but at one time it was.
Hobby, that would be my Mustang not my MA.
Way of life, that would best describe it now for me, after being in it for the better part of 28 years.
The nosy woman should be told to go on and mind her own buisness, but we know she won't do that.
it was obvious that changing her mind was not something that could be done. I really don't think it was my place to tell her she was wrong, just as it wasn't her place to tell me my practice of the martial arts was sinister.
So you won't change her mind, but you need to point out that it's also wrong for her to try and force her opinion on you and your daughter. It is your place to tell her she's got the wrong idea about it and to try and change it as best you can. That's what I would do, but I also wouldn't try endlessly to get the point across. Try once or twice and then let it go and go about your own buisness and let it go, as best you can I guess.
Aren't you the guy that was slinging mud my way in another thread and now you want me to be your "pal" and share some technique with you?I find that rather odd
I find it odd you need to bring this kind of thing up, what do you hope gain by it, embarrass the guy?
But rather than share it and get attacked as a "know it all," I'll just remain silent and keep it to myself...
This sounds really childish on your part. You make yourself look bad when acting like this. The man took offense to something you wrote, get over it. I'm sure someone will take offense to this post but it is after all, just my opinion.

Stepping down now
