While I don't know for certain, I expect that the ownership of this site is simply tired of the nonstop chaos that is the Aiming Section, especially anything revolving around CTE.
I'm sure they were/are. They also put specific rules up to counter it which had to do with NO BASHING of ANY aiming system.
It was BASHED every single day. As long as it was BASHED, why weren't those who knew how to use it allowed to DEFEND IT? Why were those who didn't know how to use it be allowed to BASH all they wanted?
NO BASHING = NO DEFENDING = NO ARGUMENTS = PEACE. No one was trying to jam it down their throats to use.
You guys have been at each other virtually nonstop for decades in some cases. (Here and elsewhere) I expect that its simply not worth the aggravation for them any longer.
Yes. It started in '96 or '97 on RSB. As soon as it was posted by Hal Houle, it was attacked by a certain member and never stopped. It carried over to another forum and then here. Here's my question, why were the BASHERS that broke the rules, allowed to continue on the aiming forum and the people who knew the system, got trained in person with the creators, get
BANNED from the aiming forum? Where is your head and thinking on this? Where are you coming from? An anti-CTE guy?
We aren't pushing it down anyone's throat. I could give a crap what someone wants to use. Just don't bash what isn't known.
There are instances here on the Main Forum where those rules get broken regularly, just not to the spectacular extent of the Aiming Forum. The Harriman stuff has gotten rather silly over the years, as one example.
I bet they never figured on having to be a playground monitor when they set up the site initially. It is never ending.
It happens on just about every forum regardless of the subject matter. There are disagreements, blowouts, sides taken, and bans. I've seen it happen a number of times on some gun forums where I've been a member for many years.
Just my guess as an observer outside of the general conflict.
You certainly don't seem to be outside of the general conflict as involved as you are in this thread and where you seem to be coming from. Be honest, do you know anything at all about how the CB and OB are visually linked with the method just like
ALL other methods. Even with those who say "I aim by feel". Fine! But there's still a VISUAL image of the two balls linked to make one go to the pocket. And guess what? The edge of the CB and center of the CB is somewhere directly on the OB simultaneously as visible as can be seen for ALL aiming methods and ALL SHOTS. No ghosts, guessing, or imagination. It's the final picture for ALL aiming methods reverse engineered but used by itself first in CTE. Does this make sense to you?
Hell, I won't be surprised if I get a warning or flat out banned from everything just for telling it like it is.
CTE and anti-CTE might be as bad or worse than Liberals and Conservatives and what they stand for.
