It's really not that difficult to carry on a conversation or an aiming debate without resorting to personal attacks and name calling, at least with most aiming methods.
PJ's "snowflake" remark was referencing the delicate/quickly-disolving manner in which a handful of cte users resort to when cte is mentioned by a non-cte user. It was far less personal and less derogatory than what PJ got in response -- he was called an "asshole" and a "blowhard". So, keeping score, PJ is behind in the name calling. ;)

I certainly would - and I'll bet CTE users would like it too. Not to mention the aggravation it would save Mr. Wilson.

CTE's the reason aiming got its own forum in the first place - but there are other aiming topics, none of which need to be so exclusive.

pj <- never would be heard a discouraging word

Or even now, you guys could just not respond to anything CTE if that's how you really feel

Re the bold. Here's an analogy. Brian came out with his Poolology book last year. He decided to keep it simple and not include every last technical detail. Of course, people here wanted to know those things. Somebody told Brian that Poolology didn't work for a distance closer than 8 inches. Brian's reply was to agree and explain in detail why it doesn't work at that distance and how to adjust for that. He made updates to his book, including technical details, and reissued books to many people for free.

Take the same issue with CTE: Stan, xyz doesn't seem right. Answer: It's been explained a dozen times and you don't know what you are talking about so GFY (that's pretty much a quote). We are being asked to accept that as an answer and move along instead of asking again. It's not a very satisfying solution, but if that's the way it is then so be it.

The answers from Stan had been given over and over, but you guys could never just except the answers and move along. Brian had no real harassment Stan and CTE has had 20+ years of harassment. Why can'y you guys that will never use it just move along.

Yeah....I'm not into the history of it all, just specifically talking about the recent comments that prompted a Wilson warning.

Yes, because it was such a flammable subject it had to be banned from the main forum - more so than any other topic ever. Go figure; it still is, after all these years. Must be some people just hate CTE, huh?

Funny, though, they don't seem to hate other aiming systems - just CTE. I guess a bunch of unrelated posters must have each independently picked CTE at random and decided to declare endless war on it for no reason. And other random unrelated posters just spontaneously joined in the fun over the years, also only CTE, also for no reason. Just a bunch of guys randomly trashing the same random aiming system - for years - without reason.

Of course, the common denominator couldn't be CTE, and definitely not its marketer or users. Nope. That's unthinkable.

pj <- at least unutterable

Yes, the baby seals we used to get were much, much better than the current crop. I don't know where they're getting the ones coming around nowadays.

Judging by these two posts from you and your sidekick Lou, it really has nothing to do with CTE. You two just like to stir shit.

That is a reasonably good observation.

It’s called a joke. You would have had to have been on RSB and ASP, like Pat and I and a few others were, over 20 years ago, to get it.

And there you go.

For what it matters, I was also there at rec.sports.billiards and saw the wild west atmosphere and full on flame wars. Then, as now, I'd rather play pool than read or talk about it.
