calling him a d$(%#e and other such things is totally unacceptable. Tennis skills=/=half of what Dozu and photoshop were attacking him on.

Sorry, you are defending the indefensible. He started the technique bragging, not us.
I guess we shouldn't learn from Edberg at all, either...

on the other hand, I've prolly copied a lot of footwork patterns from Fed, but never any individual strokes... as a technical nut, I believe different folks different strokes.... it's impossible, for me with such poor athletic abilities, to copy a pro.
says the guy who said if he could start over he would play lefty with a banana forehand...

We point out his obvious flaw....and we are the bad guys?

I don't think so.
Before that, I mean, you were. You were looking for excuses

well, I for one would admit guilt in poking at him with some jokingly comments and stuff, but he threw the first punch with foul language.

on the other hand, what's wrong with having a little fun, at the expense of another human being.

unbelievable... that's so taken out of context.... keyword is 'would', which never happened.

and 2 years ago when I started hitting reverse FHs, I never had 'copying Rafa' in mind, it was just a natural thing that happened.

Pro footwork is 100x harder to imitate than the stroke. In fact, the stroke is the easiest part, the hard part is the footwork. And you claim your learning of Federer's footwork is not as arrogant as Sennoc's attempt at the Federer forehand?

That's were it comes from.

and btw, if you are gonna say something, think about it a little more. Trust me, I've said stupid stuff too, but I never claim that hurting another should lead to fun.

this is great - I was just thinking about the time zone thing and it's a shame that there is very little real-time interaction with sennoc.... now Manus you are filling the void.

dude, read sennoc's posts again... please make sure you do that before we go any further.

about the Hitler thing - I was hoping you've read plenty of my posts to know that I take every opportunity to sneak in a little sarcasm..... so please, from now on, when in doubt, treat all dozu's posts as jokes.

Joking? Seriously I think making fun of someone and Hitler and Stalin did is a little different.

Well you did leave us with that cute quote of the Stalin and Hitler thing so there is someone stupid. And you may have provided us with a new person to laugh at.

1} My point was that some people develop the harmless mentality at first and then it escalates as they truly are encompassed by it.

2} Yeah, I guess I did

1} apply the 'when in doubt rule'

2} now I have doubt about your reading comprehension skills, because clearly what you read out of sennoc's posts is different from what me, or arche3, or TCF and others are reading out of them.

3} no need to apologize... just remember the 'when in doubt rule'.

Hunter you are wrong.

Helping somebody off the delusional high horse is not being mean.... it's like you see a little kid climbing up a dangerous tree branch, and he's yelling 'hey look I am on top of the world'.... what would you do?

a) telling the kid he is on top of the world, and ask him to climb to an even higher branch, or

b) tell him the reality that he is doing something dangerous and get him off the tree.

Yeah, the kid may feel dejected for not being on top of the world anymore, but by doing b) you have just saved him.

Is that being 'mean', or 'generous'?


and Manus, how is this one for an 'enlightening' post?
