Oh I don't know. Perhaps it says something about psychology, but I never would have paid the slightest bit of attention to a thread on stabbing or killing had I not seen that it got locked. Then it got my curiousity up when I saw you all discussing it.
What's most unfortunate in this particular instance is that somebody who's at least apparently posting from a wartorn hell hole of a country might come here to ask a potentially legitimate self defense question only to be censored. If in fact, Boris is from Croatia, then I'm sure he's quite familiar with censorship.
I've got to wonder about his veracity given a startrek.com email address that apparently doesn't work from this server, but if in fact he came here to learn then perhaps we should be more accomodating. He might just have real reason to know something of defense against flak jacket wearing persons. (leaving an addominal strike as one seeming avenue of defense.)
I don't know if any of that is the case, but I thought I'd take a moment to play devil's advocate at least long enough to point out that there could be more to his unfortunately worded request than meets the eye. Perhaps not, but just perhaps.
Boris, if you're reading this, why don't you reframe your q in terms of self defense and ask it over in the tactical and martial arts forum? I doubt that you'll get brushed aside over there as quickly.
