Constant chip on the shoulder?? No, as you well know. I DO have a chip for certain antagonist people and people that are just full of crap though. And, as to changing the subject, you are full of it. Exactly how is quoting the OP changing the subject? Or is it that you are just trying to knock me again, as you so love to do?? But, of course YOUR post isn't antagonistic at all, is it??
I really would like to be more of a peacemaker on here, but my nature has always been that of a fighter. So, when I see people purposely posting nonsense on here. Especially nonsense that they KNOW is nonsense, or post something that is just plain wrong, yeah, my hackles get riled up.
Lou and I and others have been through this scenario before. Several times. And, Lou has admitted that he enjoys getting us riled up. Hence, what I believe is the reason behind his original post on this subject. And, here is my proof of it- Lou is enough of an accomplished player to well know that if your stroke isn't straight at impact, the cb is NOT going down the line you want it to. That cb is going where you point the cue unless you masse' it. (allowing for squirt which is really a small masse' effect)
Yet, he wants to act like he doesn't know that, and imply that a straight stroke is not necessary. Later, he even goes on to say that a straight stroke can mess up the mechanics for speed control. Which he also knows full well is total B.S. Then, he constantly wants to chastise me for seeing through him, yet never responds to any of the points I made on subject.
So, yes, when someone with credibility, such as Lou, starts his little games, and doesn't give a crap about those that look to this site for instruction, and doesn't care at all that he is misleading them, then I get rather peeved. Then you get guys like dkleather that want to call instructors liars, and outright lie and say that instructors teach things that they don't teach at all, but actually teach the opposite of what he says, then I am going to correct them. The fact that they want to try and act civil, while putting a spin on what they said and what I said, and turn it on me because I called them out on their bull, just shows what kind of person they are and what their agenda is. They aren't here to help anyone, just play their stupid little internet games. And, they really don't give a crap who they mislead on here. Just so it looks like they are the good guy, and the other guy isn't. People like that are the ones that turn what could be a great thing into garbage.
When I see blantantly false info, I will correct it. How I correct it is soley dependent on how it is presented. Someone asks a question, I will do my best to supply an answer to the best of my knowledge. As I have done thousands of times on here. Someone is purposefully trying to be antagonistic, I will respond in kind. I have over 9k posts on here. You want to point out a few that seem antagonistic to you, yet you have MANY posts on here that are exactly that. Go clean up your own house first. Better yet, when it has been shown to NOT be my norm on here, maybe take a look at what I am responding to in the first place, and why I took the attitude I did. Several others have said something to me, some in private. They couldn't understand what I was seeing. Yet, now, they are doing the exact same thing because now they do see it, and are sick of it. So, now they are being accused of attacking the people that post B.S. on here.
