[MR] defining terms

[logan]

thankfully the days of clean and light are mostly long gone.  light is light
no matter how clean it is.  unfortunately people got guilted into calling
shots that were wrist flicks or thrown with super skinny or super short
rattan.  some people still try to game the system but its not nearly as bad
as it was 10 or so years ago.  its even popped up here in atlantia once or
twice, but we know better.  ;^)

    Interestingly enough, this 'old' peaceful Icelandic shipper, trader  
and bodyguard (it was a slow year) was taught that any blow that was  
delivered properly and landed cleanly was good.  Blow force was the  
least important factor, when it was a factor at all.

    But that was long ago and far away.
