Q: Too many "martial artists". How to cut them down?

AIQI am editing a tag in Martial Arts SE. This tag is called "etiquette". Here is what I have written for the "Usage guidance (excerpt)": Use this tag for questions about expected behavior, the correct code of conduct for different styles of martial arts, and interpersonal communication among marti...

Q: Meaning of "I" in a table in a study poster

CopperKettleFrom a poster to a study: I don't understand the meaning of "I" used in several fields of this table. What could it mean? I've read the abstract of the study but still cannot get it. The article itself is behind a paywall.

A: "What if Bob himself doesn't want to be a doctor", is it necessary to put "himself" there?

Black FireYes, "himself" is needed because the word "himself" indicates Bob's own choice of not becoming a doctor. In another sense it asserts on the fact that 'Bob does not want to become a doctor.' However if it was uncertain whether Bob wanted to become a doctor or not , then the use of the word "himself"...

"himself" is not needed. It is used for emphasis, but it is not needed.

@AIQ Trump is wrong but he has millions of votes, and so is Putin. Pray to God that they don't register on StackExchange.

@AIQ Usually, on things that are supposed to guide people, pamphlets, brochures, whatever, for the sake of clarity, some phrases are repeated over and over
It's not the most beautiful writing but sometimes it's the only correct way to write manuals.
That said, at first glance the wording can probably be improved but oh no a bird sorry I'm distracted now

One of these days I will post a question and request an answer from @M.A.R.

First of all, that sounds awfully elitist. But, that aside, then just say …how to communicate with martial artists. — Jason Bassford 5 hours ago
What exactly sounds "awfully elitist" in my comments?
I don't get it.

@AIQ I think Jason is referring to this: "White belt BJJ practitioners should not ask black belts to roll with them; they must wait for black belts to invite them if black belts wish to do so"
I think you can safely ignore the comment.
Respectful commonplace practice ends up in conventions and etiquette, it's not elitism.
Or you could say that the 2nd person waiting for the 1st in line is elitist, or protecting questions on SE is elitist.

@AIQ congratulations

@EddieKal De nada it's funny cause the one I thought would become a HNQ did not even get close, and this one was just supposed to be a "quick question" sort of thing ...
@EddieKal Do you know what to do to get new Meta questions to show here in the chatroom? Like in ELL, we get to see it here when a new meta question is asked ... in my other site we don't ...
Eddie Kal

@AIQ I really liked that Karen question and would've loved to see it on the HNQ
@AIQ You need to feed it to the room. I don't know how to do it. @Glorfindel does
AIQ
AIQ
@Glorfindel Can you tell me?
@EddieKal Thanks, yes me too.

We don't get much Meta questions, so I think a feed won't be too noisy.
Room owners and moderators can add/remove these.
@EddieKal if you go to ell.meta.stackexchange.com, there's a link at the bottom of the right sidebar
https://ell.meta.stackexchange.com/feeds
RSS logo + 'Recent questions feed'
You'll need that URL here: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/24938/…

@Glorfindel Kk, good to know! Thank you. I think AIQ is asking on behalf of another site. ELL Meta posts already feed into this room, but that's not the case for AIQ's other room

@AIQ ah right
What then do you need me for? :)
(or rather Eddie, who pinged me)

@Glorfindel I wanted to know how to get the feed

Good luck! I expect it won't be a problem since that Meta is even quieter than ours.

Why is it shot put? Whence put? Why not "throw"?

@CowperKettle Because you are not throwing it; it is too heavy to throw. The gesture of putting and throwing is not the same....you may be shoving it but you are not throwing it. You are attempting to "put it" at some distance x.

@CowperKettle Like basketball

Also, it is positioned on your palm, and thrust up from below. It's not like throwing a ball at all. So basketball, nicht.
My dinner (about to make it): garlic shrimp and lime rice, and, a green salad. Any takers? :)

@Lambie "not"? Why? Basketballs are pushed up from the palm as well. The spin is added by the fingers, but most players first have the ball rest on the palm of their hands ...
We also say shoot the ball ...
@Lambie lime rice is? sounds nice ...
wait ... lemon grass rice?
shrimp is the best ... I always cook it with lots of spices
