Well? Have you?
If I were one of you guys who post here day after day, there would come a time when I would ask myself 'what am I gaining from all of this?'
Maybe you should try practicing more or spending time with your families or try reading a book once in a while. I think you'll see it is time well spent, compared to what you do here.
The venom you have for this school doesn't hurt it.
Didn't you learn thru your training that anger, rage, and ill will only hurt yourself? I figured that one out long ago. Think it over and maybe you'll start to see all the damage you do to yourself with your negativity.
I'll say it again, the main point here is that you only hurt yourself when you put others down.
Listen to your own language and tell me that you feel like you have developed something in your school. All I read here sounds like a bunch of children yelling at each other. Infact, I've heard better arguments from five year olds than from you guys.
So this is what your teachers have taught you? To go on internet sites and bad mouth others? You disrespect them and your art with each slanderous word you say.
But that's ok. That's your freedom of speech. Just consider the payoff. You get to sling mud at people, but you are the only ones getting dirty. Someday, hopefully you'll realize that it serves no purpose to wallow in such negativity.
You have only one life. How are you spending your time?
What example are you setting for your children?
Personally, I would rather be at peace with myself and not have to constantly put others down, even when I don't agree with them. I'm letting you be you...you won't let yourselves be who you are. Instead you seem to be satisfied with posing as a martial artist who must put others down to show you're strong (while hiding behind a computer).
