Original Post from "PowerPackage Mike" aka 6bMike in regards to DG's post:

"Whatever??? That's a mature response. I'm out of these right is tops and left is quaint, TT taught posts. It's like a Bill Joel song- if you catch my drift."

"Yes I have."

Mike...I'm sorry but you're not making any sense.

DG

Dave,
I'm not 6b but his post seems clear to me. He is saying that
1) When you respond to someone's post with "Whatever???" It is interpreted as immature, unprofessional, degrading, etc.

2) He's tired and doesn't want to be involved in any post where anyone is promoting right arm swinging as the best and most wonderful and left arm swing is something less. Or put another way on the wider level - any post where a certain pattern or TGM proponent like Tomasello is held above everything or everybody else. Finally, he's saying that there is a Billy Joel song that kind of points this attitude out- I have no idea which one- maybe "Uptown Girl".

3) And Yes in regards to your original question, he has taken a lesson from Ben Doyle in person.

Hope that helps you in understanding what he was saying. Bear in mind that's my interpretation and therefore if I mistated something we couldn't hold it against 6B, as it is possible that I may have missed a specific point here or there. But my post gets you close enough.
