I'm considering the same thing. I have been spending more time on twitter lately. I'm becoming more of a fan of that media type.

Me too because, honestly, this board has become, bored. :D

So many of the good posters have left here and I enjoyed the banter and learned a lot from it.

Its mainly why I started this thread. But I also want the smart ones to call out the fools.
If we can just save a few and continue to end the insanity... HE picthing HI hitting are neck and neck for idiocy.


Thanks to all that have commented :)

I don't have twitter and never will. I'm just an old guy. However, I have read a few of those accounts. I find it hard to believe that an honest discussion can be had. Responses can be blocked. I think it is hard to follow any exchange of ideas and so, it is more preaching to the choir. I do feel that these message boards will die due to twitter. That will be a shame. These message boards create a sense of community. Think of all of the post here about member's dd's, how we respond/support those various families, and then, naturally how we have all shared our journey. IMO, that won't happen on twitter.

Yes, I don't mind the heated discussions. There have been some good posters banned from here.

As far as the information, the hands are a rotational point. There will be some bat blurring, but as far as his info, I stand by the snake oil salesman comment.

If you want to discuss the mechanics involved I'm all for it.

CB I do agree with you there. I've been on lots of message boards over the years and the community aspect is what makes it great.

So - anyone have any other hornets nests that need kicking? Any sleeping bears you need poked? Snoozing dogs "lying" in the wrong spot I could try and move? Children whose lollipops need stealing?

I had my suspicions about who it was - clearly I need to do a better job of trusting my instincts! Apologies for any un-healthy rise in blood pressures.

We haven't had a good does a riseball rise discussion in what, like 6+ months?

re Twitter, I believe that the140 character limit would present a significant challenge for me to convey even the most simple of my simplest thoughts despite my best to intentions to be concise and very direct and to the point as it relates to whatever the topic at hand might be at the current moment. Crap, I think I might have gone over 140 characters even with this explanation but am not sure how to best prevent such an unfortunate loss of important informational exchange from occurring in the event that something I might offer actually has some value to someone who might stumble upon this tremendous resource and subsequently discover that I, intentionally or not, may have provided them with the ultimate Key to The Universe. Any suggestions?

So as I'm still learning about all this stuff, I don't really know who everybody is yet. I think this was my first exposure to Teacherman (though the name is familiar, so I probably saw something somewhere before).

I checked out the whole twitter thing and, ya know, I haven't learned enough yet to criticize what he teaches, but his approach with other human beings leaves a lot to be desired.

Can someone here explain how what he teaches is different? What does he advocate that's controversial?

Not here.
HI hitting are neck and neck for idiocy.
I strongly disagree. Talking strictly hitting and not Rich's personality, I have learned a lot from the HI Blog(no I am not a Hi member). Mainly HI has filled in a lot of the missing pieces for me. JMHO.
I just know enough to know I cannot replicate what he teaches.
What in particular can you not or will not 'replicate'. Maybe I can help you. Let's discuss....

I have nothing to add except RD, that rainbow llama dachshund legged battle camel emoji is pretty cool.

Only you could pull that off, lol
