Discussion here at the Wuxia Forum has gotten a bit heated in various threads during this past week. I think we all need a cooling down period. Come here with a friendly, accommodating vibe (leave the polemics at the door). Make some new friends.

It is nice of you to put this, but what is wrong with heated conversation? I am merely asking, because all I see is "My theory is stronger than yours, and I hereby prove that I know all." LOL.. ok. I am being sarcastic.
Be Good. Cool Down. Don't waste your energy over some online discussion.

Well, it's gotten a bit *too* heated. We have about four or five posters ready to go to a Third Mt. Hua Sword Tournament against each other, and I fear a Hung 7 Gung vs. Au Yeung Fung ending for the whole lot of them.Originally Posted by Yon
So they ought to come in here, chill for a bit, and go home from the show happy.
I think You, Ken, should open up Wuxia 酒家 for those poor souls need some serious chilling. Just a thought!

LOL how would that be possible when they debating wit words not swords?Well, it's gotten a bit *too* heated. We have about four or five posters ready to go to a Third Mt. Hua Sword Tournament against each other, and I fear a Hung 7 Gung vs. Au Yeung Fung ending for the whole lot of them.
wow..04-08....4 years just like that..time flies..
I believe there's a saying that goes "A pen is mightier than ..."? In this case it would be 'A keyboard is mightier than sword"?Originally Posted by duguxiaojing
We might also do it by not posting for a couple days or even more. I find that time can calm people down.
There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.

Some might say the pen is mightier then the sword, or the keyboard is mightier then the sword. I say sword and pen pale in front of barking mad dogs. Best to bring a fatty meaty bone.Originally Posted by SolidSnake
Down here, we say Guo Jing is mightier then Yang Guo.Originally Posted by SolidSnake
Good gesture Ken, although I think most of the posters here are mature individuals who can control themselves pretty well.
I don't know I think the H7G and OYF ending was one of the most poignant moments in any Jin Yong book. We are all equal in death. They died hugging each other instead of fighting each other. Is this not the spirit of friendship and forgivness at it's purest.Originally Posted by Ken Cheng
Emmm...CC....thats not going to help with the cooling down...Originally Posted by CC

Am I the only one who finds this amusing?Originally Posted by wkeej
The thing is, they would not have died if they have not fight with each other. They are injured through that fight and that is not natural death.Originally Posted by dbx
No they would have died if they fought or if they didn't fight. The time of their death might be different, but they would have died.Originally Posted by kidd
Death in combat is one of the most natural forms of death. We make things out to be unnatural when we fear them. Conflict is natural, there are certain people who reject conflict superficially and embrace it deceptively. There are other people who see through the offal. There are people who fight over social status, vinidication of reputation and loss of face. There are also people that fight as a matter of survival, defense of others and defense of fairness. There are others who fight because they want to be #1 or they want to be defeated or they want to learn through their defeat.
Fighting, not fighting, sometimes it is not within our control. There are battles we can avoid and there are others that we cannot.
One of the ironies of life is that in our attempt to prevent conflict, we craft ourself a new battleground for conflict.
Hands out Chinese wine to everyone! Drink up!

Considering the longevity of their peers Wong Yerk See, 1 Deng, and Chow Bak Tung, and their physical condition prior to the battle at Mt. Hua, both Au Yeung Fung and Hung 7 Gung conceivably had at least a few good years ahead of them if not for that final battle. For Au Yeung Fung, the coming of death might not have been so terrible a fate: his life had become a nightmare, and death was probably a welcome relief (although Yeung Gor would have liked to have his adopted father around longer). Hung 7 Gung, however, died at a moment when he was about to become very useful again: Gwok Jing and Wong Yung would not have been under so much duress from the Golden Wheel Monk and his allies if their teacher Hung 7 Gung had been there to provide them with experienced leadership and one more Greats-level bulwark (imagine how differently the contest at Luk Manor would have gone had Hung 7 Gung been there). Hung 7 Gung's death at that juncture left a void that the Chinese heroes had to scramble to fill.
