Maybe we need to review here.
I said:
'You can also look at the physics involved with the movement itself. For example, form a structural integrity aspect, the Moo system is unbalanced and akward with poor rooting and body alignment. The source of knwoledge is irrelevent, as you can comper their body structure and mechanics side by side with say, mine, and clearly see which is correct by observing the results when you issue power. All you have to do is spend some time learning to maintain the propper structure so you can compare it.
Those of us that have done that, and have observed that perticular structure used over and over again by countless Chinese exponents, and even NON Chinese exponents like Boxers and Muy Thai fighters know it is correct. In our own practice, we have discoverd WHY the traditional Chinese structure is correct, and also WHY they Kim method is not.
In other words, we can speak from our own observations. We don't need to have any sort of connection to a mystical Grand Master in order to make a judgement. Give me any OYD student, and a punching bag for an hour, and I can demonstright the differences, at least enough so the student can see what the Mooo teaches is wrong.'
To which our resident Moo replied:
'This is the classic example of a whiner and blamer for ones own problems'
My response was this:
'How? I explained that you don't need to be *Connected* to anyone if you just observe, compare, test and *Think* for yourself. How is that whinning and blameing for ones problems?
Here's some advice, if your going to reply to a post, try making sure your reply is in someway relevant to the post your replying to.'

Ok, re reading this, it was VERY clear that he was responding to the bove post. Lets disect his commnet, shall we?
'This is the classic example of a whiner and blamer for ones own problems'
Ok, he says ''THIS IS the classic example''. The words ''THIS IS'' would be a direct reference to my post he was replying to, unless you speak some sort of really screwed up freaky version of English, inwhich case your an idiot who needs to go back to school. If he was speaking of me in general, he would have said something to the effect of
''look, it's RD, he's the guy always whinning and complaining'',
and not used a tag tieing his comment directly to my post. Also, if you REREAD my original post, you will VERY clearly see I wasn't whinning or blaming anyone for anything. In fact, I never whine and complain. Mostly I just point out in great detail what a Fucked up system Kim has. That's not whinning or complaining about ''MY'' problems, that's EXPOSING Kim's problems. There's a HUGE difference.
If you REREAD the post, you will find that this next line pretty much summs up my point (I'll even Bold it for you)
'In other words, we can speak from our own observations. We don't need to have any sort of connection to a mystical Grand Master in order to make a judgement'
Everything up to this point was explaining WHY I feel this way in a logical and concise mannor. There is no whinning or blamming anyone for anyone's problems, let alone mine.
I then went on to say I could prove my position with this line.
'Give me any OYD student, and a punching bag for an hour, and I can demonstright the differences, at least enough so the student can see what the Mooo teaches is wrong.'
See, if we look at it closely, there is no Whinning or Blaming anyone for any problems, so the line 'This is the classic example of a whiner and blamer for ones own problems' posted in response to my comments, has absolutely NOTHING to do with my post, yet it is worded as if it is a direct respnse to something I said. Basically the poster just made up something in his own head, or his own bizzar fantasy if you will, and replied to it as if I had actually posted it in real life, when in reality, he's delusional and probably has no idea what is going on in the real world at all, let alone my post.
