On April 16th the Batspeed MessageBoard encountered a serious error which caused all posts from Mar 22 on to be deleted. Processes have been put in place to keep this from ever happening again.

And when discussion occurs, questions are going to be asked. If someone can't answer the question, they should just get off their pedistal and admit it. I highly doubt anyone on this site knows what makes the "perfect swing".

Take Zig, for example. Hit and run verbal insults, the objective being to drive him away. And Zig was not the first or the last. This Teacherman bozo likes to shut up anyone who disagrees with him, and just like Major Dan (his alias?), he doesn't argue with facts, knowledge, intelligence or manners, he argues with personal insults. His strategy is to silence anyone who doesn't agree with him, even if it means purposely provoking an exchange of insults for the purpose of getting the webmaster to delete the entire thread.

> > > > PAY ATTENTION, NOW, ONCE AGAIN, THE ISSUE IS NOT IS VIEWS, IT IS ATTITUDE OF RUDENESS, PERSONAL INSULTS, LACK OF MANNERS, STUPIDITY!!! So are you defending this behavior? If so, you are just as stupid as he is. P.S. Teacherman, are you going to try investing ME like you did Zig? If so, you know where to find me. Ask any college coach in the state of Florida about COACH BOB ALTERMAN and they will give you my number. However, if you want to learn anything about baseball, I will charge you the same rates as I do the major leaguers, $600 per hour. And, if I would choose to accept you as a student, you will be put on a 6-month waiting list.

> > > I gotta admit, I noticed the same behavior in teacherman. I don't know what his views are, because he is always involved in an argument that doesn't have anything to do with the real issues.H ehas no credibility except with those retards who don't understand the game. Talk about the blind leading the blind.

> > SCREW ALL OF YOU. YOUR DOING THE SAME STUFF AS EVERYONE ELSE. YOU'RE HERO ZIG STARTED ALL OF THE NAME CALLING ANYWAY. I DON'T CARE WHO THE HELL YOU ARE, BOB. JUST BECAUSE YOUR A "FAMOUS" COACH DOESN'T MEAN YOU KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT THE SWING. IT JUST MEANS SOME ITDIOTS OUT THERE WOULD PAY $600 FOR POSSIBLY A BUNCH OF CRAP. WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH ASKING HARD QUESTIONS. ZIG NEVER COULD ANSWER THEM SO HE RESORTED TO NAME CALLING.

> To embarrASSed to even post your name, Teacherman? From what I gather from this thread, the issue is not about answering "hard questions", the issue is YOU.Perhaps if you would acquire some manners (and maybe a little knowledge) people might take you more seriously. Maybe a handful of some gullible people might actually be listening to you (and defending you), but most of the people are LAUGHING at you.
> I don't think you should be kicked off the site, I just think you should argue your case with facts, not insults.

To those who have defended me recently, while I appreciate your concern, it really is not necessary. I can handle Teacherman's rudeness, investigations and evrything else he wants to throw at me. I have been gone, not because of Teacherman, but because I have a sucessful business to run. Quite frankly, with my major league clientele, I really don't need Teacherman, Major Dan or any one else who does not have a thirst for knowledge for the great game of baseball.Thanks anyway. Now I have to run as one of my clients has a game tonight!
