What you speak of is a small 'boys' club compared to the total number of members & visitors of AZB that might hardly never post nut only read.
That is part of the problem with AZB in that there are small clicks that thing the the site is theirs & they only want what THEY want on it & only for purpose that THEY want.
You're entitled to your perception(s). That entitlement does not make your perception(s) accurate or correct.
I have stated rather many times now that I am NOT against instruction nor instructors in general.
There are several here on AZB that I rather admire for there knowledge, wisdom, & insight.
Every coach of this in the world was teaching the same thing until this guy came along.

Do you have a closed mind, Bruce & can you not think for yourself but must follow others?
Open your eyes & actually take an objective look. Others see the truth & facts of matters, but they generally dare not speak up in public.
Perhaps I should not say this but a certain older pro player/instructor said to me in PM that most of the 'instructors' are like 'circus clowns'.
I was NOT the one to take this thread down the road it is now on...
but I don't run from bullies & if it is a beating that the bullies feel they must give me then I can & have & will take it before I go running away from them out of fear of the beating.
Individuals that want to silence others because they are in disagreement with them are 'bullies'...
& I NEVER want to be friends with bullies & condone bullying.
It seems that you have joined the group as this you second tirade.
I'll include you with the group when I pray for the bullies.
I augmented one of my sig lines but I left the part that says..."weak minds discuss people"
Best Wishes for You & Yours, Bruce.
