[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 380740, member: 812"] ranix65: I sympathize with your desire to teach this Ian character a lesson, and indeed it is very frustrating to listen to cheeseheads blather on about how great they are when you know they're full of it. I still consider your actions very ill-advised. Both the confrontation with Ian and your manner of reporting it. First of all, I don't think it's your place to show Ian up. Let him teach his crappy forms and announce his ridiculous history. Why shouldn't he? If he really is as stupid and useless as you say, his students will abandon him and his reputation will collapse. And whether or not it does, why do you care? So some easily-misled people will learn bad martial arts. Do you want easily-misled students at YOUR dojo? Then why begrudge him his? I don't think that "teaching someone a lesson" is anything to be proud of. What lesson do you think Ian learned? That he is a worthless thing not deserving of any respect, fit only to be beaten upon until he surrenders? You know what -- if he was behaving as you describe then deep down he already knew that. He was just covering up his own insecurities. Beating him senseless isn't going to help him any -- so why bother? What do you think his other students who were there might have learned? That Ranix65 is a tough hombre? If they were the slightest bit perceptive they would know that the second they looked at you, right, so again, why bother? Second of all, I wonder why you are posting this story here. It comes across as boastful and macho, neither of which are qualities I think one should be proud of. Your actions, I'm sorry to say, seem self-serving. I would be more impressed to hear of how you overcame your violent nature than of how you kicked the snot out of some poor insecure fellow who never had a chance. [/QUOTE]
