Vote to ban TehBronco

[kungfu-photomaster]

For trolling, challenging, and conduct unbecoming of the WLE forum including defaming the name of Wing Lam Kung Fu.

[NJM]

I find a difference between questioning and defaming; his conduct stands tolerable in my opinion, with the exception of his blanket insults.

I vote he stays.

NJM, I respect your vote.
But in “Does this Kung Fu look like Wing Lam Kung Fu?” http://wle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2260 (A monk washing windows, a kung fu pizza boy, and hair pulling). IMHO that is defaming to Sifu Lam and his good name.

Even though people have a right to their opinon, there is a line that one does not cross. Anyone who has been in MA for any length of quality time knows this. But when the MA code of ethics are violated, i.e., disrespectful to establish master(s) or specific styles, then this person has demonstrated the lack of respect to everyone connected to the master and/or the style in question.

There is a way to express one's opinion concerning individual(s) or directed to specific styles but not in a negative way or degrading manner that clearly demonstrates the lack of respect. Yes, respect is something that is earn in the real world but in the MA world it is the custom to automatically accept it.

Yes he had some good points in the discussion but it does not balance his negative points.

He was making a parody of RadKi Combat's post.

He was just posting some funny pictures and he wasn't mocking Sifu Lam, but rather Radki.

NJM, you may see parody, I see tasteless-disrespect. Ogrelee said it best:

Tehbronco, we all agreed that this type of thread was downright repulsive when RadKi posted it, Which leaves me surprised that you did something even more tasteless ??!

Just funny pictures? -No matter how you spin it, the preface was “Wing Lam Kung Fu.” I personally found nothing funny, amusing, or worthy of comedy in that post.

there is a line that one does not cross.

[TehBronco]

I took a short leave of absence to let things cool down and I come back to see this.
Nice yet cowardly move InternetMaster. You don't have the balls to face me in person so you try to get to me through the internet. It doesn't bother me.
NJM got it right, that particular thread was intended to make a point, and if some of you are stupid enough to believe it was meant to mock WLKF then you honestly don't deserve me on this forum.

I have recently lost most if not all the respect I had for a lot of posters on this forum, especially Mark. The lack of intelligence and realism is appaling.
There is no need to ban me, I'm not staying anyway. I'll be on EmptyFlower with all the other intelligent people.
Enjoy your Kung Fu Fantasy and I leave you with the "Omega Salute" if you know what I mean.

[ogrelee]

I just voted.

I have recently lost most if not all the respect I had for a lot of posters on this forum, especially Mark .......

So I had some minor reserve in all of this. I thought that TB had brought some interesting insight to the forum but it started to degenerate. And, if you look back to all the other issues that have come up in the past few months, he was right there in the middle.

I did not really want to do this but now .....I lost all reserve. So, per the poll, he is banned and I am glad I do not have to look at that Avator anymore.

....I'm not staying anyway. I'll be on EmptyFlower ......

Thanks TB

I thought that TB had brought some interesting insight to the forum but it started to degenerate.

I too thought TehBronco brought up many good points, and had his own MA lens, with his own strong opinions. Which was good to be a sparkplug and to make one define their own views.
But in the end he was just to abrasive and showed that he had respect for no one (including himself). So I felt something had to be done. And well me and him were always in the middle of it. So who better to start the poll. Honestly I don't post anywhere else, and don't care to. I don't know how things work over at bullshido and if TB is what is common I'll stay here.

I am sorry for my part in all the brouhaha.
Brothers I only hope I have not lost respect from too many of you...
