Lee Jones Flawed Thinking

[El Diablo]

Mason,

I understand your points. However, as an impartial observer (if anything, I'm biased in favor of 2+2 when it comes to matters of poker), it simply feels that you guys are far more harsh on Lee than is deserved.

The very titles of the two posts you and David made "Lee Jones Flawed Thinking" and "Lee Jones Confusion" come off as petty and unnecessary to me, and I'm sure many others.

Both you and David appear to feel that Lee is attacking Dan (and by extension 2+2), but speaking again as an impartial observer, it simply appears that Lee is pointing out an example from what he considers an excellent book where he believes an excellent player gives some advice that is incorrect based on Lee's system (again, I have not read what this system is, so I don't have any opinion wrt the poker advice from either side). This is not an attack imo, it's a disagreement. Lee thinks his way is correct and respectfully disagrees w/ the advice in Dan's book. It does not seem to me that the same level of respect has been accorded to Lee when you disagree with him.

All of this is subjective, of course, and you clearly don't agree, so no need to respond to this post. Just some thoughts from someone observing from the sidelines.
