Yeah why can't CJ have his own sub forum. Lou has one. NPR. Non pool related.

I have no issue with CJ having his own forum, so long as his followers agree to keep TOI talk out of the main forum.
If not, then very simply don't read them on the main forum and post.
More dumb people have access to the internet now than back in the day.
Also, there's been an increase in what I call "burner identities" sort of like burner phones. These surface anytime a regular wants to bash someone else. They are always: anonymous, have a low post count, know extensive forum history, and will flagrantly badmouth particular posters until the mods notice and they get the boot.
As to CJ, he's turned this place into CJ Billiards v AZ Billiards, plastering his memes, scrapbook clippings, and repeating his posts over and over and over. Once is never enough with CJ. He needs his own sub-forum, ala the Aiming Conversation, so he and his admirers can wallow in everything CJ.

I've already received more green rep for my first post in this thread than for any other post I've ever made - mostly from the "silent majority". Seems there's some agreement...

I ain't got a dog in this fight. I read and try to learn from lots of folks. Have been for 30+ years. I met CJ a few times a long time ago though I doubt he'd remember me. I was just a kid and Wade Crane introduced us. But as someone with 2 masters and a PhD (it don't count though 'cause it ain't in science and I use bad grammar) this quote bothers the hell out of me. I'm really concerned that I've just seen science turn into religion. If the the cardinals and the pope have spoken we peons just need to shut up and listen. It's ex-cathedra ya know?
I think you mean written by Jack Koehler and copied by Patrick. PJ certainly didn't come up with the terminology of physics in billiards on his own.

You can also purchase this book but it might be a little too pricey for cheap broke pool players who cry and squawk about the price of a Dvd being "huckstered" by a pro player or pro instructor.

What good would it do when PJ and all of his followers will continue the trolling and bashing there just like they did to Stan and anybody else talking about CTE among themselves? How about keeping THEM out of those threads? Would you still be posting there if CJ had his own section? If not, then very simply don't read them on the main forum and post.
The issue then and now isn't the system, it is the bullshit marketing statements that were made. When pressed to back up those statements, it could not and can not be backed up. Wonder what happen to that math thread about the 1x2 table dimensions that make CTE work
Same with CJ....nothing but marketing bullshit. When pressed, he can not back up his statements.
The aiming conversations were great but the high and mighty "D" players worked very hard to run off Stan or anyone one else that they couldn't index in their science book.
It the *****ers that kill this forum. People get sick of the trolling and stalking of anyone who plays without their science book or a degree in physics. These are not your great players but a group that depend on a handicap system to get them through a local tournament . You want to see the forum come back strong? Stop forcing your opinions and stalking the pro players who people WANT to interact with. If something doesn't make sense to you and other people are enjoying the interaction then stay the hell out of the conversations and quit the damn right fighting. That's what people are sick of. If you don't believe that then you are the ignorant one.

You're right, and I agree with you.
It is ironic when someone displays this type of "I'm smarter, or holier than you" attitude. Many times it's from seeing their own problems from the outside in, rather than the inside out. They will never "real eyes" that they are the nature of their own issues, mentally, physically, and emotionally.
It's been going on sense the dawn of this world age, it was called being a self righteous hypocrite thousands of years ago....some things will never change, people's inability to make changes. 'the GAME is the teacher'

Well said, Lou.
You forgot to add a picture of a martial artist and some artsy quotes, though.
Maybe throw in a short paragraph, or five, about a bar you won some money at.

Thanks for your contributions.
That is complete bullshit for starters. That forum is called Aiming Conversation. It is NOT called CTE conversation.
Get CJ and all the other hawkers their own sub forum and i do solemnly swear i will never visit it.
