ban me if you want

you have a slightly insane person talking to me so what is gained by that

if alan cant engage in a disucssion on pole vault then i just figure he isnt capable. It is only one small question.

he should read the talmud - his quote from it is pure hypocrisy

bye ...

I'm afraid you have lost me. I know not whom you refer to at all. You are a very strange man. I came here to talk pole vault and suddenly this person is attacking me. A number of posts later you assume i am someone i am not. If you can't talk pole vault with me then i'm not interested in talking to ...

Then why dont you describe your self experience That is all i am trying to do. Speak conceptually about the sum total of my experience. you feel is so important Do we even need to debate the value of personal experience over academic learning?

You appear to be a salesman pushing your own book every chance you get. Or were the half dozen examples i quite quickly came across a misrepresentation of the truth?

i think i need more advanced pole vaulting people to talk to browsing these boards it appears only agapit actually knows what he is talking about ive only been following petrov for 15 years and spent some time with him in formia so possibly i can make this judgement remember - open mindedness is the...

I agree nothing is gained from this idea of trying to push the pole with your left arm. You push on the pole and it will push back.

Although there is pressure being exerted on the pole. From where is an interesting question i think,

Does anyone agree or disagree with any of that?

I couldn't vote. I would like to vote nothing as that is closest to what i feel, however, it isn't correct either because the left arm is still doing 'something'. Whilst it is doing 'something' the left arm is not an active participant, it's a passive one. It is responding to the pole as opposed to ...
