You've spent the last day or two calling others all kinds of names, mocking and so on... basically acting like a juvenile
That's your opinion and wild claim to build a bigger chasm and keep this all going. What I did is what you do to have the back of PJ, Lou, and other naysayers. Mix it up, simple as that. We have different styles. They were coming at Stan with all barrels loaded and heavy harsh artillery. I responded in like kind..
For the most part, I no longer respond in kind and therefore I don't make an ass of myself.
That's a matter of opinion. There are different ways to make an ass of yourself beside responding in like kind. How about completely giving erroneous information about the process of CTE? How about completely misquoting another post to create your own version that's not what was said? How about just making things up out of thin air to take the conversation into a different area?
Mike posted a sticky not to "bash" CTE. Bashing, I believe, is another word for the flame war that starts when people start disagreeing about CTE. So I don't do that anymore.
You're kidding right?
That doesn't mean I can't still make reasonable comments about CTE every once in awhile. I just don't make a habit of it.
They may be reasonable to you but they're incorrect and always have been. We can't get it through your skull and then the battles start. If you don't want to "bash" CTE, learn it first by the way it's taught. Your best action would be to stay out completely. Start a STROKE thread.
Here's an example of discussing CTE without bashing ('cause I refuse to engage in an ensuing flame war):
The last couple of threads started by Stan involve a lot of revisionist history (that I won't get into) and erroneous comments such as, "Well so and so is using CTE and he's on the Mosconi Cup, so that proves that CTE works."
No, what it proves is you guys saying CTE possibly CANNOT WORK because of the math (whatever that is) or Stan teaches it incorrectly.
Nobody ever said a player cannot get good by using CTE as an aiming procedure.
I'd say that's a true statement. What has been said is CTE is a flawed system and can't possibly work at all as stated and taught.
The argument from the "naysayers" and "deniers" is that CTE cannot work by the means that Stan claims it does.
That's what I just said. Then why do we become better players by doing it as Stan teaches? How did Tyler Styer get good enough to be using it for a few years and get picked for the Mosconi Cup the way Stan says and teaches it? Tyler didn't reinvent the wheel to get it to work. Cookie didn't reinvent the wheel to get it to work. Nor did many others.
When the real reason that a player improves by using CTE is understood, the magical nature of CTE dissipates. This is my opinion, which is based on actual evidence,
What evidence? Your erroneous evidence? PJ's bogus evidence? Your opinion is your opinion but that doesn't mean it's right. Our opinion as users for years is you're so far off the mark it's absurd. And you keep doing it over and over and over. STOP IT ALREADY!!
and I only repeat it here because so many have been mischaracterizing what the issue is.
And you'll keep repeating it for another 20 years if you live that long and it'll more than likely be still off base.
You have a different opinion. IMO you are wrong, but I'm not going to beat you over the head with it. I don't lay awake at night because Spider disagrees with me.
Actually I do think you lay awake at night fuming over what you think is right and how you'll misrepresent it in different ways. Either that or how you'll try to concoct some sort of a posting trap to get me banned by reporting every word and sentence that I post until something sticks. I know your game, Dan,
So you can do with that what you will. Consider that I might be on to something, dismiss it as BS, or report me.
I have and will continue as long as you keep doing your habitually incorrect and provoking threads/posts.
Enjoy your weekend, Spider Dave.
