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.

Let's start now, Kevin. I've lifted John's ban.
All I needed to hear was that his questions were sincere and not the 'alter ego' baiting gambit we've endured so many times in years past.
I don't know John, nor had I ever heard his name until he appeared in these threads. Guess I just 'don't get around much anymore'. But the support I'm hearing for him from the home team is enough for me.

It's a new day.
Welcome back, John.
Let's hit it!
Thank You to Lynn.
Thank You to Kevin.
Thank You to anyone else I am unaware of that put in a good word for me.
As I tried to say right before my 'vacation' I tend to ask questions alot.
I also ask questions to stimulate discussion.
I ask question on topics I have strong opinions on even if they are opposite of the side I agree with to see how it will hold up.
As far as TGM goes, I am a novice.
I barely understand the terminology and would love a recommendation of the proper forum to go to to learn it.
As Daryl mentioned at one point, if there is a place where I should go to ask question, I will be happy to post them there so as not to interfere in topics where agreement is the main topic.
Don't be surprised to see me agreeing, disagreeing and discussing with people all over the net.
It is how I learn best.
I know some do not like it. (my wife included)
I think at some point, some one also mentioned that this is not the place to challenge TGM theory. Where is the correct place?
I think there was also a mention from Lynn expressing a desire to learn more about the D Plane. Please ask any questions you like and I will try my best to answer them.
I hope to engage with all of you and do it a manner as to not wear out my re'welcome.
But the support I'm hearing for him from the home team is enough for me.
