Just for future reference guys, posting threads like "Tales of Judo Sparring Aikidoists" is a sure way to get a flame war started.
Just think of it like this, I am government worker so I basically sit around all day and do nothing. So I surf the internet endlessly on the topic that interests me the most, Judo. Normally I am at peace with the universe hanging out over at judoinfo.com until I decide to take a glimpse of what is going on at other martial arts forums.
I then read things like "judo is just a sport," "Judo is not an effective martial art," "I tossed around some Judoka today" etc. and then it is game on. What do you expect to happen when you start subjects like this?. And then many of you get so upset when I then decide to tell you what I think of Aikido.
Don't throw chum in the water if you don't want to attract sharks, this time you ony attracted a relatively harmless medium sized reef shark but you never know what will show up next time.
