Clarifying Dustin Shaw''s situation re: 10th Planet

[Karim Graham]

Deimos has a point, its not benefiting us guys having it as i sticky, things like this should be discussed more personally to avoid misinterpretation and gossip lol.

[Brandon Mccaghren]

i think the point of it was to prevent it from becoming gossip. public statement and damage control.

The purpose of the topic is in the first sentence of my post.

My post was created after discussing the situation with Eddie.

Nothing personal, but I'm wondering why you are commenting when you don't live in LA, you don't have any firsthand knowledge of the situation and you don't have anything relevant to say here.

really bud? saying "nothing personal" then bashing someone isnt quite the most respectful thing to do.
I didnt understand why it was a sticky either. Remember, MOST PEOPLE here arent from LA. So throwing it up there seems a lil much for me too.
create a post, yes. if it has relevance, it'll stick around anyway.
I think most everyone understands the dick-head move that Dustin did. I'd be PISSED. But I dont see the need for the sticky.
I mean really, isnt that something to mention at HQ and the surrounding schools? where it has more relevance anyway?
just my two cents.

Shit, dont fuck up and you won't get stickied.

[Ian Elliott]

Amen to that. Don't get banished from the temple of shaolin son, this shit is way to much fun.

First of all, Demois' opinion was that this it was ridiculous that this topic got started. As I mentioned, I made this post after talking to Eddie about it. This is a 10th Planet forum so it's strange that people have any issues with a post that comes as a message from Eddie.

Second, it's not "bashing someone" to point out that someone doesn't have any firsthand knowledge of the situation and therefore they don't have anything relevant to say. There's nothing disrespectful about it at all - in fact, it is not personal.

Third, most people actually do not understand the situation (unlike what you mentioned), that's why post exists.

Fourth, I didn't stickie it anyway - only moderators can do that and I am not a moderator.

First of all, Nathan is one of the most solid dudes you could ever meet. He is also a brown belt from the flagship school and close friends with everyone at 10th Planet HQ, including Eddie, so...just me...but I would want to be cool and make friends.

Also, in the very first line of this thread, Nathan wrote "There has been some misinformation going around about Dustin's status with respect to 10th Planet so this message is to clarify things to those living in LA:"

The part that sticks out to me here is "this message is to clarify things to those living in LA:"

So basically, if you're not from LA, this message isn't for you. What's the biggie?

Point understood. You make sound remarks and I agree now.
Just sounded a little like brief aggressiveness, but I re-read it and you two are right.

Kick ass. Hope everything works out here. I'll take my Florida ass elsewhere haha

THIS REALLY ISN'T A BIG DEAL IN MY OPINION. PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO OPEN BUSINESS WHEREVER THEY SO CHOOSE. JUST DONT MAKE HIM AN AFFILIATE. IF I OPEN A GYM NEXT TO MINE WILL i BE KICKED OUT TOO?

It's counter productive to have 2 schools under the same banner so close to eachother. It would force internal competition and internal conflict isn't good. It's also not cool to go against your teacher's wishes and do so anyway. If I asked my boss if I could do something, and they say no, and I do it anyway, I can expect to get fired. In this case, a dude just lost affiliation. So yeah, if you opened a school next to yours, you shouldn't expect to be an affiliate.
