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!
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.
Thanks Bagger, Kev and Daryl,

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.
Thanks Bagger, will do. Rochester's just down the street.......prolly got a lot of Leaf fans there.....Id imagine.
Gonna creep him under an assumed name..............Innercity daryl......
OB is so subtle. He probably hits his second shot within 12 feet of every pin except par 5's, and has lots of birdie puts every round, while keeping up an engaging banter in a French accent!

City,
You have all this drama preceeding your post with a hatchet-burying ritual by THE Big Cheeze, The Peacemaker, and some other helpful sorts, then you jack the thread.
Man, you are good. Practice, practice, practice....
How's the weather in Philly? Does Temple U. have a golf team? Gotta go get some rest for a day at The Links tomorrow. Around here you never know when it might be the last. Snow is in the forecast.
But the support I'm hearing for him from the home team is enough for me.
