Jeeze Bill you keep resurrecting these older threads like zombies! Good stuff though- to your point, I think you will find a lot of us ascribe to the "think happy thoughts" model.
More than that- always describe your goals (and even faults) as a statement of the positive things you SHOULD be doing, and never in terms of things to avoid.
For example, "keep the sights aligned while smoothly increasing trigger pressure" might mean the same thing as "don't allow sloppy alignment, and don't stop trigger pressure" but the results will sure be different . . .

"As a xxx . . . , I yyy . . . " indicates that Fozzy was referring to himself.
Not sure how that matters anyhow.
The whole "pedigree" or "halo effect" thing continues to puzzle me . . . perhaps it's a "North American" vs. "European" thing? Perhaps more individual than cultural. Seems related (at least conceptually) to a elitism?
"Only the well-born are endowed with virtue" (Camus?).
"Only the medal winners have knowledge" (Target Talk).
Personally, I have found discussions with struggling shooters to be frequently more enlightening than Words From The Holy Above . . .

No worries . . . every year or so we get minor tempest of poster(s) who like to kick the entertatinment level up a bit by posting as several different people; as anonymous alter egos so to speak. Just the "price of doing business" in a public forum.
Hang in there and it will pass. Some of us make the mistake of "engaging" when it happens.
I apologize for contributing to the noise.
