It's simply true. It is surprising. It is also contradictory, as I have imagined Hall to be a straight shooter. In this case, his words and actions seem contradictory. That's all. No other motives. Not really aligned with any BJJ politics...just surprised. Hence, my short reply that just basically says, "That's surprising." ;)

I would feel the same if you said David Camarillo was over at Ralph's rolling around....after all the things he has said.

On being welcome? Thanks. I appreciate it.

However, I do find it peculiar that out of the few times I have posted, at least a couple of those times I have been greeted by diatribes, typically consisting of a few paragraphs, from you in particular. So it makes me wonder how welcome I am with you personally, as it seems I have managed to unwittingly draw a fair amount of attention from you (And not a positive kind as far as I can tell.)

I am very inclined to call things like I see them, so if that offends/irritates you, I apologize. There is not a lot of filter between my head, hands, or mouth.

Take Care,

Kyle

Kyle,

I really mean it...you are in fact totally welcome here and with me personally. I had no alterior motives in saying so.

"It seems I have managed to unwittingly draw a fair amount of attention from you (And not a positive kind as far as I can tell.)"

I am just replying to your posts on a thread I started. I don't think I said anything offensive and if I offended you, my apologies. I am just sharing info and talking with you, a fellow BJJ practitioner.

I must also say that I don't think I have greeted your posts with excessive responses.

This is quite simple actually and I think we had a small misunderstanding.

I stated that Ryan Hall has visited HQ in the past to train. I suppose your response...calling it "surprising" made me feel like you were calling me a liar, and it kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. Not that it made me feel serious ill regard towards you, but I felt like your response had negative undertones. I'm an adult, so I have no problem saying that it was my bad for making that assumption.

It's all good man. If you're ever in LA, I'll buy you a beer.

Peace and chicken grease.

I'm glad you guise got that all worked out.
