Lou does porn?
I have come to the conclusion that GMT is really the marketing company behind the soon to be released Pro1 DVD. He started all of these debates, for the express purpose of bringing to the forefront the controversy regarding CTE. Sure, nothing he said has not already been said 100's of times in the past 15 yrs. However, his timing is impeccable, and his persistence is that of a marketing genius. Due to GMT, the sales of the DVD will be through the roof.
Yes, this post is sarcastic. But if it were really true, a big applause to Stan.

I thought he was in the incredible hulk?
This is incorrect in two ways:
1. Argument from ignorance is not what you describe. It's the assumption that something must be true if there's no evidence against it. And that is a logical fallacy.
2. "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" is not a logical fallacy. Absence of evidence is frequently valid evidence of absence. For instance, I don't see you in this room with me, so I can logically infer you're not here. It has its limitations, but it's not a logical fallacy. In fact, it's at the heart of predictive science - "if x is true, then y should occur, so if y doesn't occur, then x isn't true".

Why should he be prevented from calling someone a sake oil salesman if that's the way he feels in light of the evidence presented to date? (If you think about it, almost everyone in these CTE threads has been called far worse than "snake oil salesman.") And his comments are only condescending to those that lack confidence in their own standing. If you feel weak, uneducated, inexperienced, stupid, intellectually inferior, whatever, then you're going to take his comments as being condescending. If you have confidence in yourself and your position you are not.
You nor I are in a position to decide who should get banned. That's for the mods to decide. And the numb nuts that keep trying to get people booted, or even better, the one's that subtlety try and lead certain posters to not post anymore, only so that they can later crow that that individual has "been driven away by the attackers and naysayers" should back off and get a grip.

rests well
I understood that analogy. Your wording was "Taliban-like", which I saw for what it was. It was a veiled description not in good taste, jmo, especially coming from a fellow USAF compadre. But, it is not a direct attack and I understood this.
When i was growing up the term, "Nazi" was never thrown around either for obvious reasons. If it was used it was not as a description of anybody other than the Nazis themselves. Today it is thrown around to describe injustices and similarly I understand your use of the Taliban reference. Time will soften my views I suppose, but not anytime soon.
Best,

You probably mean one that you'd understand.
No.

He wasn't on any mission other than to show that you can't have an aiming system without taking into account where the frippin' pockets are. That was the only mission he was on. Intellectually it amazed him that so many could be bamboozled.

My apologies to you, Mike, if you found any offense. It was targeted against some very specific individuals. If it's one thing that does get under my skin it's intolerance and there seems to be a lot of that being tossed around by guys that should know better. Once again, sorry if I offended.

LOOK at the name of THIS thread.
GMT was not trying to learn, he was bashing people.
POP SHOT = smart a$$ comments

Get JB Cases to folllow this path and you would win the Nobel Prize for Behavioral Science.
They're called "pot shots".
Lou, you have the same problem he did. You only read what you want to hear. MANY,MANY times, he was informed that he was wrong in this statement. Yet he, and now you, want to continue to use it. You DO need to know what pocket you want to put the ball in. AFTER that, you don't need the pockets location anymore. If you understood anything about the system, you would know that. NO ONE is saying that you NEVER need to consider where the pocket is. You need to know it's general location so you know if you need a thin or a thick lineup. But, you do not need to know it's exact location.

That's wrong. GMT's thread got deleted and then locked up (and who feels like going all the way over to the NPR section anyway). This thread was handy after his thread got locked up -- it just became the new CTE nexus by default.

Yes, of course, I'm the one with the problem. Go watch Spider's video again -- you know the one where he shoots balls with half the table covered up so he can prove you don't need to know where the pockets are -- and get back to me.

Poor choice of default threads
The reverse of your post referring to marketing of a product

No apology necessary, Lou. I understand your reason for posting in these threads. I know the ribbing and the teasing are a part of life, so I chuckle instead of getting pi$$ed. I see where crossing the line though can always be an issue.
Best,
Mike
