I agree with you here, but I'm surprised to see you write this. You have always touted the superiority of the modern, bloated, non-separated pros over their earlier, more refined counterparts. Perhaps you're getting a more discerrning eye.
Have you heard the term "human parrot"
He spews some absolute crap forth then gets absolutly pasted by people who know what they are talking about and a week later he changes his oppinion and starts putting forth the oppinions of those that put him right, making him self seem smarter than he actualy is..
Under his candi account I corrected him many times about training and he would argue and bitch that he was right , now he is repeating what I said when I corrected him and passing it off as info..I notice he does this alot though, he does a complete about face,maybe its being young and its all part of growing up?
