BigTimeFan 1,141 Report post Posted April 2, 2016 That's too bad. It's nothing more than cultural misunderstanding. I speak with the outstanding Russian board member off line regularly and I can tell you he is a credit to the board and a fountain of information. Some of you are too thin skinned. So what if he trashes USA? Who cares, he's basically telling the truth. Get out and travel a bit, no one likes USA and it's our own fault. The bullies of the word, self righteous, and thin sinned. Yeah, everyone loves us. What a shame, we've lost a key resource on this board because some of the Americans are to sensitive. Cletus, I agree generally with your sentiment but to chalk this all up to nothing more than cultural misunderstanding is like saying that people didn't like Jeffrey Dahmer because of his table manners. Abdul is just a jerk and while maybe over in Russia they would think he is less of a jerk, I would wager they still think he's a jerk. That being said, he's hardly the only one on these boards or in this country. I kind of think of Abdul as the Donald Trump of these boards and we're the establishment or the Democrats. The Donald is loud and makes fun of everyone he dislikes. Some people like him a lot of people, some people despise him. 1 treep2000 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we cannot, then there would be a double standard based on "class", or "ethnicity", or whatever other criteria, and I will willingly leave this forum, and will also advise all of my other friends and acquaintances that visit the forum and follow USA Wrestling to get their news from other sites instead. In the good old US of A, we have "Freedom of Speech". However, we do not have "Freedom from Consequences" as a result of that speech.

There have been much worse trolls. Its America, feel free to disagree, but he definitely improves the diversity of opinion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, we better all get to like the idea of Donald Trump running this country, because the professional politicians have about as much chance against him as Brent Metcalf has at worlds. TRUMP 16!

You only will tolerate him if you can also act as you put it "just as big of a jerk; racist; sexist; etc" How about you suppress your urges to conduct yourself like that, and i'll speak with him and see if we can get him to tone it down a bit?

CA_Wrestler 328 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 I personally love this. When he gets bested at his own shtick I just chuckle. If he can learn to knock off the other stuff (on race, religion, etc.) he should be allowed back with a second chance. Hey, I was a wayward young man with a lot of attitude and a big mouth at one time but wrestling helped knock that BS out of me pretty quick. I was given many second chances and I learned from them. I would hope the same applies to others. lol I don't really care when he tries to talk trash either. I just laugh because he cries about it. You not good person, I not want talk to you 1 Coach_J reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't like what he says, then for Gods Sake grow a pair of balls and tell him how you feel. Someone is going to be offended by something all the time.

Cletus_Tucker 890 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 After a lengthy conversation with Abdullah, just last night, I have crated a thread with his very own words, in an effort to get this terrible misunderstanding, resolved. He has told me he is waiting with anxiety, as he hopes for a reinstatement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buckeyebison 87 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) I received a PM from our Russian friend. He asked me to forward it in Russian, Ðмериканцы не любÑÑ‚ правду , что Ñ Ð³Ð¾Ð²Ð¾Ñ€ÑŽ , и именно поÑтому они выгнали Ð¼ÐµÐ½Ñ . ДагеÑтан ÑвлÑетÑÑ Ð»ÑƒÑ‡ÑˆÐ¸Ð¼.

Dagestan is the best. All other eating hamburgers and fried chicken while they see the lights on the ceiling , bro (It could be true) It's simply cultural differences. I have run into several of them during international trips. All I do is to listen to them. They can be quite blunt. I just explain what is proper way to speak. What not to speak. It is up to them to decide what to speak. Seasoned traveler would understand what they are speaking. I do not argue with them. I just explain what are our perspective are and let them consider. Trick is not be too arrogant and not too thin skinned but let them talk. It is true that the Americans can be too arrogrant during overseas which I have been associated with. And I have been guilty of that when I was very young. But got humbled quickly by several foreigners. He may not understand this as he cannot see this but he can learn.

Hubbard 426 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) A C lister from Dagestan made the mistake of urinating in a Buddhist Temple yesterday as well as doing physical damage to a statue. His even bigger mistake was posting it on social media. Well, the locals saw it on-line and decided to storm the hotel, drag him outside and make him kneel in shame. The cops arrived and calmed things down. Word is the Dagestan PM flew to the region to apologize in person for his countryman's actions.

An American is being held in North Korea for theft. No one is going to fly out there and apologize for his actions, but it's good to see Degastan PM had the class to show up and do just that. We could stand to learn a thing or two from them. http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/28/asia/north-korea-otto-warmbier/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've already had a heat argument with him in the past (not here), but I just started to filtrate what he says, ignoring some stuffs and paying attention when he brought some good information out of Dagestan. 1 gutfirst reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
