Aiming Systems • NAYSAYERS • YEASAYERS

Can somebody inform me here, pm or otherwise what happened to pj (ban i assume?). What thread caused it? Or was it many? If you read his "message" when it comes to aiming on Dr. Dave's page, it all comes off as quite eloquent -- it is hard to disagree with most of his selected posts there, whether you use a system or not.


Doesn't matter if you're eloquent while the boys from The Inquisition are running around looking to strap someone to a stake and have a weenie roast.

Joey,

You may not have a "spin degree" but you do a fair amount of spinning yourself on this forum. I find it remarkable that you can chastise the naysayers and turn a blind eye to the yeasayers who are commiting the exact same offenses.

Since you brought up Patrick Johnson's offenses, we have a prominent poster here who has OCD and ADD who is currently getting away with name-calling, ad hominem attacks and besmirching fellow posters good names.

As there is a lot of blame to go around, let's be consistent here. For the benefit of this forum, more moderating may help bring this acrimony to an end.

Look boy, unless you are a board certified psychiatrist I'd ease up on the tossing out of clinical diagnoses. For the benefit of the forum why don't you castrate your fingers? You are turning into a class-A troll.

I hesitate to make medical judgments about people. Your post in that regards seems like an ad hominem attack as well.

That being said, I am all for forum moderation. The moderators don't get paid enough to do what they do. ;) It's a thankless job, well almost...

The truth is that if you want to see the forum members to improve the way they talk to one another on this forum, when you see a post that is obviously mean-spirited, an ad hominem attack or any other forum-rule breaking post, you should report it.

Just be warned, that if you use the REPORT BAD POST, frivolously, El Kabong might just be aiming his guitar at your head.

Pat didn't get his current ban because of anything aiming related. He committed forum suicide in the abyss called NPR by going head to head with Wilson.

Joey,
I rest my case. Since you brought up Patrick Johnson's offenses, we have a prominent poster here who is currently getting away with name-calling, ad hominem attacks and besmirching fellow posters good names.

You have been reported troll.

Come on now..... Do you really believe that you didn't poke the tiger? Your references are an ad hominem attack, DESIGNED TO PROVOKE.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

btw, i didn't report your post but it probably should have been reported.
 
Come on now.
Joey,
In the other aiming thread that was recently deleted, JB made the following comment shown below, which I reported. This is yet another example of the insults that are clearly in violation of forum rules that JB is getting away with.

Every decent player has some sort of an aiming system. Few people get to the table and shoot wildly at balls without aiming.

Getting people to agree to anything on this forum is difficult. It seems regardless of the topic people like to argue.

Was I wrong? You preach kumbaya and yet you provoke? In that thread you had 20ish posts and all 20 of them had nothing to do with aiming systems.

And here you are again pushing buttons. Over the course of three or four threads I have not seen a single post by you with your own opinion for or against, whether you tried them or not. I have seen you whine that you are not able to learn about them because of certain people. Yet you went out of your way to dig up a negative reviews of Stan's DVD which does not indicate that you are interested in learning at all.

So far all I see is instigating trolling behavior from you.
 
And so the agitation persists, Pool Shark Allen taking his turn at the helm, seeking his moments in the sun, poking the tiger, just to see him growl, just so that he can say, "SEE, look at how mean the tiger is".

Duckie, in the background, pushing the envelope a little at a time.

Lou, spinning, spinning, spinning.

JoeyA pointing, pointing, pointing, pointing.

Can't you all see yourselves?
 
You've been reported for saying the following:
"For the benefit of the forum why don't you castrate your fingers? You are turning into a class-A troll."

And how does this violate the forum rules? Since nothing you have typed in these past several aiming threads has anything to do with aiming systems and has contributed greatly to the general negativity it would have been better has you typed nothing. Since you seem to be unable to follow your own advice and practice what you preach you would do more service to the forum if you willingly made yourself unable to post. Naturally I do not really wish that you cut your fingers off to do this but I would not be upset if you duct taped your hands into some boxing gloves for a couple weeks while those of us with vested interests sort out our differences here without your preachy hypocritical opinion.

Pointing out that you are turning into a troll is an attempt to help you Allen. I would not want you to become a full-blown one.
 
I keep getting drawn back into these threads, in spite of good sense telling me to stop. *grin*

I like rock climbing because you can either make a hard move or not. The rock doesn't care anything about you, or how you do it. You just have to figure it out. The techniques are few and simple.

If only pool were so clean.

Beating someone doesn't make a technique true.

Most people don't really understand what they are doing--including pros.

Pool is too complicated for the limited pool science we know to be very useful, except as a loose guide, much like aiming systems.

Just like in the rest of the world, even "proof" from a physics/mathematics perspective is subject to change because of missed factors or an incomplete understanding (which is surely true for pool).

Sadly, there is a lot of, "cargo science" in pool--but it doesn't matter--because in human psychology, faith in anything can help.

Please, let's stop this silly arguing, and have a self-imposed, temporary moratorium on aiming threads to give us all a chance to breathe a little easier.

Surely there are other things worth discussing....

Rock climbing: You must be one of those emaciated, bean pole guys if you like rock climbing? :D:D:D You know I'm just kidding.....

Anyway, you are trying to get yourself banned with that suggestion. If aiming threads ended today, the traffic on the Main Forum would make it seem like a funeral was going on.

It's really the constant name calling, ad hominem attacks, sniping and forum rule breaking that causes the silly arguments. Blaming aiming threads for the silly arguments is kind of like blaming guns for killing people. ;)

No...I think this is more fitting -

Blaming aiming threads for the silly arguments is kind of like blaming PEOPLE who aim and pivot prior to shooting at their target, only to accidentally shoot an innocent bystander. It really is the guns fault.
