Quit back-pedaling John. You stated any poster on here. You made no stipulations such as "any hack, no real players allowed".
Second, who is arguing with any pros about how to play?? Why do you find it so difficult to read what is actually said and just comment on that without having to add a bunch of stuff that was never stated, and then argue why the stuff you added is wrong? Sheesh, I thought English! was gone. You filling in for him now, or what??
No one, myself included, have argued with him on how to play other than stating that he does not use TOI on 80% of his shots as he has stated many times. This has been proven by several posters. Then yet, it's pretty much a mute point now because there is now TOI version 1,2,and 3. All different from each other on key points.
What HAS been argued, and I feel it should be no matter who the poster is, is some statements he has made about how the balls react. In a few areas, he has since corrected himself, as he should, other areas, still waiting....
Just because someone is good at something, does not give them carteblanche' (sp??) to say any old thing and expect everyone to swallow it hook line and sinker.
Ok you're right. Now ASIDE from the registered users who are professional players who else among the PARTICIPATING non-pros, and specifically among those who make it a habit to criticize the pros as you do, can match the accomplishments of the pros? My apologies for not being specific enough and relying on context.
Of course simply BEING a professional does not give one the power to make statements that should not be challenged. You miss the point entirely.
When one questions a master tooler on technique then it's not in an aggressive 'you're wrong' tone but instead in a deferential discussion tone that respects the master's position and experience. Of course the master CAN be wrong or can be unaware of newer and better methods but to shove it in his face in public is disrespectful and dishonorable in my opinion.
Of course I am certain that you don't see your behavior in that manner which again is a matter of perspective from my point of view. There is a very good reason that the majority of professionals you have named and far more do not choose to participate here. That reason is a lack of basic respect from a minority of posters, not always the same ones, which translates into hurtful and sometimes slanderous statements.
