You have, perhaps, answered your own question. Some posters are extremely adept at the keyboard beat-down. It makes replying to many threads an exercise in frustration.

I agree. It's been my experience that once students internalize the principles, their Aikido is able to flourish and grow with very little "outside interference" from the instructor. As an instructor I strive to allow students to experience Aikido from the inside out. In their own time they will cease being taught and begin to learn.
