Dude, you either click on it or you don't. If you feel enough to "correct" people, then wmma does interest you (even if its in a negative way).

Factually incorrect ^.

The poll that was 1/3 yes, 1/3 no and 1/3 indifferent is in regards to women in the UFC- not WMMA in a whole. As a whole, according to http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f61/po...4/index20.html, only 10% of all voters gave a negative response.

I don't like Chael Sonnen...does that mean I can request an exclusive "Chael forum" as well? You know, just so all of his fans can talk about it "everyday" and I won't feel the need to "correct" them or click on the actual threads.

Yet we end up with the same thread repeated over and over.

I guess it will eventually die down though.
This is why I have that merge button on the cp.

There's been a poll and the forum seems to be divided, pretty much right down the middle. The discussion has already been had. If the WMMA fans would like to talk about it everyday, at least they would have the avenue to do so.

Anyway, thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Really?

Correcting?

I enjoy how you write this like you are engaging in quality discussion and note worthy posts, when this is all you are producing.

Nice, belittle a valid opinion from a female poster with a better view on it then you could hope for.

Why not "correct" them and offer a reason as to why not?

Here is all your archive worthy posts from the poll thread, demonstrating not only your grasp of the English language, but your unwavering logic in regards to defending your well thought out stance on women's MMA

And the truth of the matter comes out.
Your tone has more PMS then the senior class of a Catholic girls school

I personally don't see mens MMA (or any mma) as being brutal or violent, so I have no problem with Women competing in it.

How is someone getting KO'd from a punch or kick not brutal or violent? This can and will happen in a fight.
And yet you openly make threads about men fighting with no qualms?
Pick a stance, Ike Turner.

This post could pick you up a bronze in the special Olympics

So, "correcting" people consists of insinuating fighters are not athletes?


In short you have 13 UFC related threads in which you openly root for a KO, or cheer a fighter when they are engaged in, what is in your eyes, essentially a street fight, and yet it's only an issue when women are involved.
At no point did you offer a valid argument aside from the opinion that it is barbaric for women and not men.

And I'm not saying that they're going to be sissy fights, I just really don't care about any of the other fighters, (their styles don't interest me)

The main reason why I'm sounding off on this is because the UFC, essencially, thinks they can rip us off.

I might not even buy this one just to send a message!
Because Pride was far less "barbaric"



If anything we should have a separate sub-forum to house all your posts to spare the rest of the innocents.

Your posts are the one's that turn a thread from a conversation and into a shit flinging contest.

We get it, you don't like women fighting, but you raise no valid points are generally a boring ass hat.


Please don't think of this as a personal attack, but as constructive criticism to advance you as a poster and a person.


I wish you the best in your posting future

-Hugs
Joshua
