In reference to my "Martial Arts" post

I take issue with some of the comments of my fellow posters and their questions as to the worthiness of my posts. I am a long time poster (and friend) of this board and have contributed greatly here. I am not a spammer. I am honestly looking for more people to train with in my area (with the blessing of my instructor). These are small private classes and not for a school. Please from this point on people should think before questioning the integrity or motives of posters on this board. Thank you.

Well, it's been awhile since you've graced us with your presence and not everyone knows who you are.

More to the point, we don't want to open door by even a little to solicitations. They get vaporized when they do show up--which is rare, fortunately.

In your case I made a judgement call--a compromise by locking it but leaving it up. I'm sorry if that rubbed you the wrong way; in fact, I feel like I bent over backwards to accommodate you. We really, really, REALLY want to keep the solicitations off of here.
