I say hats off to your 4 LB's who decided to drop. It takes a stronger mentality for you to be ostracized and ridiculed for not being able to "take the heat" and retaining your self-respect as opposed to being stupid and undergoing a considerable amount of humiliation and degradation to get respect....
I'm sorry, but I personally weigh respect as something relative to who you are as a person, not how much stuff you can take off of me. You said you wouldn't embrace someone who had a "weak, watered down, CAT, paper" process. Well, believe me, for as many of those that you wouldn't embrace for lack of a process, there are just that many that wouldn't give a flying phuck about YOUR RESPECT.
Respect is immaterial and so relative. The inadequacy isn't on the part of those that didn't do what you did, that inadequacey lies in you wanting to get on the net to blast people for not doing what you did.
Did it ever occur to you that there are some, such as AKA2D91, who do feel adequate in their process?

I feel you knowledge....but don't you kind of have to come up with some type of EXCUSE as to why you allowed others to smack you around?? It's just a shame that this is what some men need to embrace their manhood...Everytime a brother calls someone else CAT, paper, etc... it is a little re-assurance that the abuse they allowed themselves to endure was worth it. And if that's what it takes for them to celebrate their manhood, that's fine, just keep it in-house though......cuz when you allow allow yourself to sucuumb to a lot of -ish to be "down," in the hood you're called a gangmember or another word that I can't say here.
I'm glad that I don't have to belittle others to feel good about myself, my process, and my letters!!
OO-OOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!
But really, after Blackwatch....is there anything else left to be said??
