seriously that comes from:

negtve feedbck
-players who dont understand what im trying.
-players who tries to say that they know better by saying 'my way
is right and yours is so wrong. that while they themselfs do something
not interresting (in my opinion)
I just read mssges from those who understands or knows how to feedback,or from somone i might ever meet who moves his toribash like very very realistic based on existing moves ( a real master).. then i wil listen. For the rest who dont .. i really :P just dont care at all. i dont even read them :P
Firstly, there's nothing wrong with negative feedback. The whole point of a thread is for people to pick out your flaws so you can fix them. Honestly, you'll see lots of people bashing on other people because of their flaws here in the replay threads, but generally nobody takes it too harshly because it teaches them what to do.
While I do agree that people might have a different play-style from you, I also do think that you might be able to learn a thing or two from them. While your replays do have great potential, they're also very unpolished. Your movements and ideas are great but the execution isn't always perfect (You'll see everyone talking about the ridiculous amount of twitches that you do).
I see that you're trying to go for a realistic-martial arts kind of style, and that's fine. However, ignoring others just because they're "Not understanding" or just because they're not as good at realism isn't that great. Just because somebody can't pull off a move as well as a "master" might doesn't mean that they can't point out your flaws. For example, you could criticize a game that's horrible for it's graphics or gameplay or something even if you have no prior experience in game design.
I do agree with your opinion that there isn't a "right" way to do things. It's always worth a shot trying different things, though. If you don't agree with them, I think it's better if you try to point out why exactly you think your method is better, then listen to the response instead of completely ignoring advice.
Now, on to actual comments on your replays.
They're pretty good and unique, the moves you pull off are quite good. However, twitching is
not good when it comes to realism and you might want to try slowing down to a stop rather than just suddenly holding everything. In my opinion, it's like you have the idea of what you want to do in mind but you can't pull it off perfectly. This is why you listen to people, so that they can help you polish off your moves so that they flow well/look good.
You pause too much in between hits, I get what you're trying for but instead of just making the toris look like statues, perhaps you could ease them into the next stance or make them appear still at least a little alive by relaxing some joints or something.
That's all I can talk about for now, feel free to comment on what I said earlier. We all want to help others improve, but that won't work if you just isolate yourself from all of us.
