He talks of being Sensei as if that should bring weight to his words, but he does not seem to act as Sensei outside of class. He could be the greatest teacher the world, but being Sensei means Sensei _is_ your being. ---

Wait, this is our beloved Humpy begging for money for _floor mats_? For fucking _floor mats_? $2000 for fucking floor mats. ---

My favorites are the ones that start off “Look friend, we get it, We use adblockers too, but …” Like, am I supposed to be impressed with their friendly, non-nonsense, home-spun hypocrisy? ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > That is correct. And you might keep in mind that I respond with the same level of courtesy and respect that I receive. Why, you might ask? Because that is how one resists an unwarranted attack. Maybe the courtesy and respect you perceive, and your perception is not too great. I received attacks from you before I even knew who you were, much less had any chance to attack you. If in the pit, fuck it, say what you wanna say and call people out, but don’t take it personally. Out of the pit, why not just treat people the way you would like to be treated, rather than the way you think you’ve been treated? The benefit is, is if you treat people the way you would like to be treated, then people will treat you well in return. If you treat people the way you think you’ve been treated, and they treat you the way they think they’ve been treated, then all it takes is one false perception for you to justify poor behavior because of the way you think you were treated. Personally, I don’t have the time or energy to keep track of everyone, and who has slighted me, and I don’t want to make a mistake of treating someone in a way that I mistakenly perceived them to be treating me, so it is just much easier. Outside the pit, I try to treat people the way I would like to be treated. Now, do I mess up from time to time? Sure do. Sometimes I forget what forum we are in, or I get a bit more annoyed about something than I should be while trying to compose a post, so I know there are times when I have said things that could well be perceived as being negative towards them. I learn and move on, and try not to commit the same offense. If someone else slights me somehow, I don’t bother to hold a grudge about it, and unless it is at the level of rules violations, I pretty much don’t let it bother me at all. Question, as a sensei, do you encourage your students to hold grudges like this? ---
