hmmm, no to the idea of posting it elsewhere. The this has always been the home of CTE. Pat Johnson died here. His blood still stains the sands of the main arena. Here it shall be posted.

lol.
Ilsa: Post it once, Sam. For old times' sake.
Sam: [lying] I don't know what you mean, Miss Ilsa.
Ilsa: Post it, Sam. Post "As CTE Goes By."
Sam: [lying] Oh, I can't remember it, Miss Ilsa. I'm a little rusty on it.
Ilsa: I'll hum it for you. Da-dy-da-dy-da-dum, da-dy-da-dee-da-dum...

Post it Lou, some of us value YOUR opinions. I have the DVD and my own opinions on it. I would like to know yours, whether you post it here or send to me in PM
Thanks for your contributions.
I think I shall post it here.
Lou Figueroa
you must remember this...
My skin is thick so I'm not worried about flak. In memory of Pat Johnson, I will post it here.
Lou Figueroa
I say supress it; censorship rocks!
And pull this thread, too!
Best,
Brian kc
P.S. Ah, nevermind, post it Lou...
OK.
Lou Figueroa
I got em! Now let me go get my brass balls.

wherever it is
my wife keeps them
Lou, you've always seemed intelligent, self-confident, and courageous. I can't imagine you are now apprehensive about posting your review of the /CTE DVD - if it is sincere. In fact, I believe you will be letting a lot of people down if you do not post your review.
It took a lot of harsh debate over a long period of time to force the production of this DVD. And there has been alot of pompous representations and even wagers offered that this DVD would finally put end to the argument that CTE/ProOne is an exact aiming system. As I recall you and some others had issues withat regarding bridgelength, in particular.
If you're smart enough to finally close this issue, please do so. Doing otherwise, for politeness sake etc, is really pussyish, IMO.

Lou's just teasing us.
Either that, or he's waiting for JB or JoeyA to come on here and firing a warning shot across the bow. They have such fun, those three. Where's Patrick when we need him?
I have JB (along with four other shee-at tossing CTE Monkeys) on Ignore
And I don't mind little blue ink from Joey.

If I craved attention I wouldn't have stayed out of the CTE Wars for so long. Like I said, I've sorta of enjoyed being out of the mainstream of the whole CTE thing lately, as oposed to being in the middle of it. So I wasn't really sure I want to post a review. But, the mood of the group seems to be receptive, so I am going to do it.
I wrote it yesterday and now I am letting it sit and will look at it one more time later today when I have more time, to make sure I don't want to make any changes -- like making some part of it stronger or softer in tone. That's all

That is very wise. You'll be happier with the finished product as a result.
And don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to reading it. I'm quite removed from the debate, and actually enjoy following it, so long as everyone plays reasonably nice in the sandbox. :embarrassed2:
Here is the thing: regardless of what I think, Stan invested a lot of time effort and money into the project and I respect that. And frankly, lately I've become ambivalent about the whole CTE thing and have adopted a "live and let live perspective." So even though I bought the DVD -- and then wrote the review -- I wasn't sure that posting it would add any value. The CTErs are going to believe what they want to believe and those that don't believe in the system are also unlikely to change their opinion.
It's not a fear of controversy. Hell, dealing with that is the easiest part. I was just feeling that all things considered, it might not be worth it. But, there has been enough positive feedback that I will post it later today.

is it possible this guy can be more of a drama queen? :grin:
Oh Excuse me wrong thread. Seems I stumbled into the Lou show.
Seems it is a rerun. To get on the right topic , you dont need to do a review
Dr Dave has posted most of Stans info already. What a guy.

You are right, your review will not change anyone's mind that has already decided; however, your review may be very helpful to people who are on the fence about CTE.
I say definitely post it; I think most people like your writing style and value your opinion.
I bought the CD but have not had a chance to watch it yet.
I say post away....
If you truly have a "live and let live" attitude, then you would not post your review.
I'm not sure that those saying yes to you posting your review is positive feedback. Just people wanting to read more about something that has already so much written, positive and negitive, about it.
Does your review really add anything new to what has already been posted? That is the only question that needs to be answered and only you can answer that.
Be above what has been.....

I don't think you should post the review. While I respect your opinion, and you generally write intelligently, your lack of faith in the idea of CTE is well documented. I think a review that you posted would create more of a bickering thread than one of value. Please don't take this as a negative statement towards you, as I certainly don't mean it that way, but there are already a number of threads with this type of info going on anyways.
I think all that needs to be said is that CTE works, but it requires a lot of effort to become proficient at it, and that it is more complicated at first than most probably expected. You can't expect to watch the DVD and be 1-2 balls better within a short period of time. However, if you are willing to invest some time with it, the system will probably improve your game.
