The reason why so many posters try to harm others rather than help them.

That's true but it's still good to know the theory behind it.

Well, when a person types out a bunch of nonsense, there are only two potential responses: completely ignore it or point out the fact that it's rubbish.

For example, your last "helpful" thread took a fairly simple concept (separation of movements) and turned it into a stream of nonsense about concious/unconcious internal body clocks/engines and gladiator shielded arcs.

Now, if you had managed to write a coherent post about separating the movements of the upper body from the movements of the lower body, which allows you to execute your preparation/swing properly while moving into position, then perhaps people would have joined in the discussion rather than cracking jokes.

This is the reason why so many universities stress the importance of good composition skills. You can have all the great ideas you want but they won't get you anywhere unless you learn to express your thoughts coherently to others.

I don't understand a word of what you just said Spaceman.

Could you please rewrite your idea in terms of concious/unconcious internal body clocks/engines and gladiator shielded arcs so it's comprehensible?

You are a very tolerant, patient man . . . and a killjoy, too.

I dont think (generally speaking) that anybody in the instruction forum sets out to deliberately harm or hinder anybody. I read plenty of posts offering advice which I resolutely disagree with, as they don't meet with my own experiences or knowledge. However, the poster in question may have no other reference so they post what they believe to be useful advice, I am certainly not going to tear into them for trying to harm the OP, they just may not know any different.

P.S. Kiteboard if you're reading this I necro'd your "weaponize" thread with a few q's for you.

Cheers
