"initiated conflict in the initial thread by creating a new thread and calling me out, which under the old rules, was unacceptable."
I created a new thread to try and appease the people complaining of derailment.
Had I known how much of a problem this would cause, I would have just continued the discussion in the original thread despite the complaints of derailment.
You were the main person pushing the "you can't learn by video" narrative so I directed it towards you so hopefully we could finish the discussion.
"He claims that all learning can be done regardless of being official members or students because information is information, and proudly uses his example of tutoring people in mathematics in high school and college, but refuses to see the false equivalence logical fallacy he is employing,"
This view is obviously divorced from reality, because people can and do get PhDs in advanced engineering fields online.
"edited out his mention of Mo Pai when I warned him not to mention it"
I believe I referred to it as the system I study, and not directly as Mo Pai.
"He refuses to apologize for any of the impious behavior"
To me this is like you being angry at me for breathing, and demanding an apology because I am using up oxygen.
I've tried my best to understand why you are upset, and I cannot grasp it.
It does not make any sense, what-so-ever to me.
"Jim was so desperate that he was planning on getting plastic surgery and spending time in tanning salons to look Asian and go back to the school in Java,"
This is not true, not even a little bit.
"The WMP group is so desperate to learn more that they are attempting to fund a Chinese member to go infiltrate the group and get more instructions from the school in Java so that they can learn more beyond 2b,"
"paying to send a member of their group of Chinese heritage to go to Java to learn more and send it back to them"
This is not true, not even a little bit.
"Jim was given a response in his letter begging John Chang to teach him more to instead go learn from a nature spirit"
This is not true, not even a little bit.
"Above point contradicts WMP statement that they are rationalist freethinkers and often atheists because they don't believe in such things in spite of the school being overseen by ancestral spirits and JC's communion with nature spirits and other entities, as well as his own paranormal experiences"
"They do require money from members of their group, charging fees to get a watermarked video of 2b from a third party and insisting that they sign an NDA so that they can sue anyone for leaking information, "
We literally do not charge anyone, anything.
We also do not accept donations of any type.
"They prefer to create a non-subtle implication that they see themselves as members of the Mo Pai lineage, creating a false equivalence of being students of westerners who allegedly were more advanced than ASian members and preserving what was taught even if the school does not want or acknowledge them, continuously avoiding direct questions from Walker about whether or not they are part of the lineage,"
Jim and Kosta were students and we merely preserve what they brought back without alteration, nothing more and nothing less.
"at least one suicide has occurred in their group due to the psychosis that develops from practicing the Mo Pai unsupervised, and allegedly there have been more."
This is not true, not even a little bit.
No one in our group has committed suicide.
"Multiple cases of psychoses have arisen in the group"
This is not true, not even a little bit.
"some members have stalked others, including breaking into someone's house to get the instructions for the apocryphal level 3 and threatening them."
Years ago a forum was registered publicly with the owners real name and address being displayed in a whois directory.
There was a break in and the individual was looking for 2b information.
This individual was a member of thedaobums, but not a member of our group.
The forum owner then was forced to move and register again with a private registration.
There are many more stories like this one.
