I take my martial arts very seriously.  I've tried to talk to Ian before last night, and each time he blew me off, mouthed off at me, and walked away with his bunch of lackeys(yes, the Basterd[sic] has lackeys; ya know, those yes men that fawn all over people that make a big deal out of themselves and ride on their coat-tails?); I knew that last night he wouldn't be able to walk away from me, so I sat dead center on his mat, and to be perfectly precise, I never said, "Well come on try your luck", all I sadi to him after he went into his schpiel about how "he's gonna teach this martial arts style to anybody who's interested(and has money to pay him as well) and I'm doing a demo", all I said was, as I said in my last post, "show me".  He took that as an invite to try to kick my teeth in, all I was saying by stating that I kinda invited him to try his luck is that I was an easy sitting target who asked him to show me what he's gonna show everybody else.  It can be inferred then(although incorrectly...i hope)that his plan for the demo was to kick anybody watching it in the teeth.What did Ian show everybody else?  That he's a jackarse.  That was all I'd been trying to tell him for days, and even when I had him with his back to the wall(a bad analogy, but the only one I can think of)(he couldn't walk away from his own demo, after all) he still couldn't behave in a civilized manner.  I forget the exact saying, but my cousin from New York City once told me "If ya wanna play stickball in Canarsy, learn Brooklyn Rules, otherwise your not playing the same game"; guess what, Ian's apparently never even been in the vicinity of my Brooklyn, whose rules are as follows(these aren't even specific to me, these seem like they apply to just about anybody!):Listen the first time somebody says something, and definitely don't just blow em off and call em names.Don't throw a fit and try to cause permanent damage to someone else just because.Sorry if I didn't make it clear in my last post, but there were other words exchanged between me and Ian last night, most of mine fairly calm(including the oft-repeated no), most of his hateful, vulgar, and pissed off.</blockquote>
