Combat? Is that why you’re here?

Zen Combat describes a type of discussion based on koan-like responses. You know, like when you deny a link between two sentences you post together, or reply with the number 37.

In traditional Zen, it's considered a sophmoric device, but in the West it's often mistaken for sophistication. FYI.

What I denied was your effort to jam your words in my mouth.

I can tell that really burns you, but I just don't care.
