Hi,
I eventually managed to get hold of Rand and he has banned Tapio from this forum.
I repeatedly warned Tapio to stop insulting other forum members by frequently asserting that they don't know what they are talking about and that they are clueless about the golf swing. Interestingly, he never presented a good counterargument where he offered targeted criticism that specifically dissected another forum member's argument to demonstrate its weaknesses. He simply asserted that he was "right" and that the other forum member was "wrong". I think that he is seriously delusional, and I stopped responding to his outrageous claims (eg. that I was arranging to have him banned because I was wrong about so many things, that he could easily prove). I was constantly amazed by his habitual pattern of over-simplistic thinking. He scoffed at the existence of my 1h37minute video presentation on the "virtues of playing golf with an intact LAFW" and he stated that he could explain the entire golf swing action in 2 minutes. He scoffed at my belief in a FLW, and he didn't even bother to watch the 20 minute video that I produced on the concept of a functionally-flat left wrist. He simply didn't really bother to understand another forum member's opinion, and he simply responded in a very cursory manner when he offered his own opinions. I was originally happy that he joined this forum because he was repeatedly abused in an uncivilized manner in the Gotham Golf Blog forum, and I felt sorry for him. However, I now realize that he perpetuates the insult-versus-insult problem by his own over-pompous behavior, where he simply hurtles insults back in a reckless, uncivilized manner.
Please note that one can present counterarguments that thoroughly criticize any forum member's opinions re: golf swing mechanics/biomechanics/testing procedures, but there is zero tolerance for general insults (like those made by Tapio) that imply that the other forum member is totally clueless about the golf swing.
Jeff.
