Hi,

My full name is Terry Williams. The aforementioned invitation is open at your pleasure and has been provided as a matter of courtesy and respect to your organisation to enable a right of reply. If I have any direct questions concerning MAIA business I will not hesitate to contact you directly. Apology for the first name only, I must be getting madonna or prince aspirations.

Regards,

Terry Williams

P.S. Very impressive forum setup you have here BTW
P.S.S. Is your name Admin/Moderator?

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the invite to the Blitz forum. Sadly it seems as though those who post regularly on its pages have already made up their minds as to the MAIA. This is sad as we exist to provide a fully professional, up-front and no BS service to the martial arts community in Australia. We are transparent in our activities and sincere and genuine in our approach.

Thanks also for you kind words in regards to this forum and layout. We try our best I hope that you will feel free to visit these pages and to post often. You are most welcome!

Calling me Admin/Moderator is just fine!

Best wishes!

The comments on the Blitzsportz forum seemed on the face of it to be an opportunity to post comments relating to smearing the MAIA via refences to poor service or dictatorial behaviour as well as attacking Walt Missingham and alleged "dodgy dealings" he may or may not have been involved in in the past.
When challenged, the individuals responsible for these defamatory and potentially actionable slurs either got defensive, went into hiding or retreated from their initial position and claimed to have been taken out of context.
I spoke with Walt regarding these allegations and advised the individuals concerned on Blitzsports along with providing Walts phone number and an invitation to confront him directly allowing him right of reply.
At time of writing, to my knowledge no such phone call has been directed to Walt.
To be fair we should probably wait till the individuals concerned returned from their covert trip overseas instructing the Special Forces of (insert appropriate territory) or alternatively returning from Manila where they store their personal documents regarding their proof of military service.
Either way they have shown their true colours and the agenda seems clear.

Paul,

I think that the Blitz board while interesting is open to abuse as no-one has to sign with their own name thus leaving it open to politics and backstabbing.

This board exists for the serious and hopefully non-political or non-judgmental discussion of the martial arts.

* 2. You will need to sign your REAL FULL name on every post. Females members who do not feel comfortable with using their full names, may use first initial and surname: Jane Smith = J. Smith.

* "Terry: Is your name Admin/Moderator?"

Admin/Moderator as per your rules could you please sign your posts with your real full name

It is most unusual that you refuse and will not do this?

Why?

E-budo who you took your rules from, do not do this for example, nor do other sites requiring names in signatures

I for one would like to know who I am chatting too?

Am I talking to Walt Missingham? Ron Goninan? Someone else?

So just a straight up and simple question to clarify things: What is your name? Are you Ron?

Also just a heads up your registration only allows for india or ukraine for "nationality" so you might need to tweak something in your set up.

Edit: Hahaha .... good one! I just forgot to sign my own name!! shall fix my sig.

Edit 2: Ok.. checking out several of your posts here; its obvious you are Ron Goninan (I voyour on Blitz; so same topics, similar wrting style, registration confirmation from you, etc;

So I don't know why you pretended to others not to already be familiar with them (thats the impression i got from some of the posts here at least) -from blitz-?? .. strange indeed

... a confirmation would be polite, but yes its obvious... so Hi Ron!! ...

Please sign your posts with your real full name as per the rules of this forum! Thanks!

Heading off for Xmas Eve Celebrations, so till next time (I have serveral questions)...

Merry Christmas Ron and Everyone!!!
