I don't understand why a moderator of this forum would want to go to a class where the instructor is threatening a member in good standing of this forum, or continue to post videos from that guy in the future.
If a poster decided to threaten another member with ass beatings, I'm guessing a moderator would bounce them for that or at least say something about it, not condone it (or effectively endorse it).
Still fairly new here, but this disconnect thoroughly confuses me.
First, welcome to INGO.
I'm sure you're not the only one who wonders such things, so I'd be glad to address them here openly.
Why am I willing accept a free course at Tactical Response?
1. Because it's free.
2. Because I'd be a hypocrite if I often told folks that it's important to seek out training from several different instructors and then passed on this opportunity.
3. Because I believe that, no matter what school one is attending, something can be learned from the experience.
4. Because spending a few days training in beautiful Tennessee sounds like a great way to spend some of my vacation time.
5. Because my presence at and documentation of such a trip would provide some interesting content for other INGOers to read and enjoy.
Why is such speech allowed when it's pointed at an INGOer?
As an INGO Moderator I work to enforce the rules and policies of INGO, on INGO. One of our rules is "no direct name-calling (or threatening)". But, as Mr. Yeager isn't an INGO member, and as he didn't come here to make his threats, there isn't much for me to do. He posted his thoughts on his own YouTube channel and someone linked the video here.
And besides all that, its important to keep everything in context here. This is internet posturing at its most laughable. It's no secret that jeremy has posted his fair share of "Yeager bashing", and he'll freely admit to it. He's a big boy and can take some online ribbing from an outside source.
Personally I think it would be great if jeremy and I took a course together. Then we could post our AARs from our varying perspectives.
