My involvement in the Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen article

I started out writing the Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen article as an avid student of that art. After reading the thread on bullshido about Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen, some soul searching, and one comment made to me by the highest ranked person on the west coast, I chose to no longer train in their schools. I would like to post everything I believe about this art in it's article but a great deal of this would not be facts, instead they would be my opinions and what I took from my experiences while training with them. A opinions and not facts they have no place in any article of this website. I understand peoples need to express their opinions and other peoples need to advertise what they do, but please do so in the appropriate places, A.K.A. not in the articles of unrelated or semi-related things (insert any noun where I put things).

Here are a couple facts about the Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen article that it seems a lot of people do not understand: A. This article is about Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen and its practices, whether it is a "bad" or "good" art or not is a matter of personal opinion and is not a fact. B. This article is about Poekoelan Tjimindie Tulen, not who teaches it, not who is related to Wetzel and what art (if any) they teach, and especially not anything that is not a solid proven fact.

I have left the link to the bullshido forum (removed upon recreation of the article) as I respect that people should know about others opinions and experiences in and about this art, but opinions have no place in articles on Wikipedia, that is what forums and Urbandictionary are for.
