There is nothing wrong with taking a knee to regain your senses.

    Not sure what you mean. Post # 17 suggests otherwise.

    Well, Korobov didn't know where he was after the punch.

    He was initially responding to Blood's post about how it's unmanly to take a knee and show weakness. Blood escalated it. Read the whole thread before jumping to conclusions, man.

    Post 16 and 17. One was on topic, the other was a pointless attack. Yo can decide which is which I suppose.

    Post 16 wasn't really on topic, either, though. It was simply macho BS that gets spewed here on a fairly continuous basis. And if Blizz hadn't called him out, someone else would have.

    Whether you agree or not, it was on the topic. Does this actually need to continue? No....

    I would submit that it didn't need to start, Lance. Both posts were equally valid (or invalid).

    Well, he was conscious enough to: a) put his hands up to try to guard, and b) stay on his feet

    I think the point is that if he had been trained to take a knee when buzzed badly, it would've happened instinctively.

    Anyway, I would argue that it's not a show of weakness to take a knee, hold or to get on the bike after getting buzzed. If anything, firing back immediately without having your legs beneath you is far more likely to result in your misery being compounded.
