Dear Sheriff Bagger Lance,
It's become apparent that LGB.com, along with its Pro Contributors, Members and Homer Kelley's research has become a testing ground for new Golf Theories. By applying our knowledge of Alignments and Forces to new theory, we serve as an examination Gauntlet that otherwise wouldn't exist.*
When dealing with future encounters, my perspective will be to treat them as such. By sifting new theories through an Alignment and Forces examination, much may not get through. But something may, and that information can add to our own knowledge.
It may seem that sometimes visitors engage us with a challenge. But maybe it's not them wanting confrontation, but them wanting a theory confronted by people who have the knowledge and commitment to do so.
* (With all due respect to Chuck Evans, and Paul Smith (Golf Guru), who runs Iseekgolf.com with an exceptional group of members too.
Huge mistake in my judgement. I apologize to all for standing up for him. I am seeing posts on other forums that tell me I was dead wrong in my assessment of the situation. I won't be so trusting in the future. Sorry friends.
Kevin

It's great that we are a litmus test, but that's not our primary mission and TGM is not Lynn's only text. If there is new knowledge to add or corrections to make to Homer's 30 year old work, great! Happy to help if we can, but we aren't the "keepers of the sacred scrolls".
Joe Daniels is. Take it up with him. We can only advise and consult if asked.
Other sites want to play tribal warfare and that's fine. They have been off our radar for a long time.
That is until one of their supporters shows up with an agenda to discredit LBG. Why here and not at Joe Daniels shop? Good question. Maybe it is a litmus test. But in most cases it is cloaked with an agenda.
So without knowing who we are dealing with, we have to tread with caution. Unfortunately.
We are simply interested in helping people play better golf on their home course and on TOUR.

Thanks Bagger, Kev and Daryl,
I hang out here just about every day. People treat each other with respect and the topics are just about always edifying. It is comfortable here and I have learned more in the past several months than I learned about golf anywhere over the previous 50+ years. I am playing the best golf of my life and enjoying it more than ever.
I've seen some of the other forums and I just don't understand their penchant toward contentiousness. No matter what you look at, it seems it is largely the same characters just looking for somebody to harrass rather than to assist.
So, to all of you here at LBG, THANKS!

I have been communicating with John, a lot the past 2 days... He wants me to apologize to anyone who felt disrespected. That was not his intention in the least. As he said earlier, he wished he handled it differently.
I WAY over reacted to posts the next day on another forum that were made in fun. I am perhaps a little paranoid because of another group of people, that's a different story and John is not a part of that mess.
John is a seeker, and really enjoyed Lynn's replies to him. John doesn't want to be associated with any particular group, he just wants to learn and apply what he learns to his students. Really no different than the rest of us.
Damage was done, both by John and myself by his not being completely up front, and by my over reaction.
Sorry to make this into a soap opera. My hope is that at some point we can start over, if at all possible. I still feel John would enjoy the time he spent here, and would ask some more questions that would precipitate more learning from YODA by all of us who follow his teaching. I believe that list is growing, while others are sinking.
This perhaps is part of growing pains, nothing more...
Thanks for listening,
Kevin

As I've told you on other occasions, Kev, you are one of the two nicest guys I know. I'd be hard pressed to name the other guy, but I thought I would at least leave room in case one showed up.
