Hello,


If the project does not interest you then feel free not to get it.

[Dale Dugas]

Jim,

Thanks again for the update on the site. I have about another month before I get my lifetime leg irons fitted....

Trolls have nothing better to do than try and try to throw their own doo doo at others as they have nothing else with which to represent.

I look forward to all the research material when it becomes available.


Be well,

Dale

[Jim Roselando]

Hey Dale,


Someone once told me:

Dont feed the trolls!

hahaha

Its a great work. I am sure many will enjoy it and there will always be those who do not. Thats ok to!

Funny but its always a few that make a lot of noise but when you see the project you will see that in China this sort of BS is not as common. The most important thing is sharing and growth.

South Mantis is a great art!

[jo]

That is three grand (US$) advanced to a man without a Sifu who claims to know Southern Mantis. A man who violated the most serious oath one can take in the Southern Mantis community. A man who knew so much as to publish an article proclaiming that a certain person was "the real deal" in the Jook Lum community and then recanted his story.

Roger's ignorance and total disprespect for protocol and tradition, combined with his shameless huckstering and self-promotion rival only the degredation that Jack Springer (JFS-USA) has wrought unto the Southern Mantis community.

Jim, if you want to follow that kind of man, then so be it...your path is of your own choosing.

The facts cannot be denied.

Has anyone had a problem with downloading it?

Be well,

I agree with you the facts cannot be denied.

Here are some:

1. The fact that you are a nameless entity who hides behind the internet.

2. The fact that you do not post any contact information here or otherwise but throw mud.

3. The fact you drop everyone elses name and not give out your own.

4. The fact that your cowardice makes you look like a small child hiding behind his mothers apron.

5. The fact of your constant tearing down of people yet you offer nothing about your skills, or should I say the lack of.

6. The fact that you pretend at knowing what Wu De/Mo Duk is about, yet continue with the smear campaign.

Yeah, Jo these are the facts. Too bad you are the one setting a bad example. Why not come join the real world and step up and say who you are, where you live so we can see who you are and what you have for a hand? I am quessing you have nothing, hence all the mouth boxing from you.

[Jim Roselando]

Hello all,


Please ignore the trolls!

They only bring the discussion away from the positive project.

If only people would have been man enough to visit the person they feel soooo strongly about instead of using the computer to hide behind. Troll is a Troll and not worth the effort of writing to them.


Peace,

[Dale Dugas]

Sorry Jim,

Though I am still curius if anyone has had any kind of trouble with downloading on http://chinamantis.com

Let me know if you have.

Be well,

Dale
