Yes, and you are the one who crossed it. You made a personal attack. Most sites would not allow that.
I was not being serious calling you a scammer, but you are of course aware of the campaign that Stealthmunk conducted making hundreds of posts attacking my coaching and so on, calling me a fraud, scammer, professional coach, and so on, despite the fact that I had crushing stats in my main coaching area. You presumably know I was referring to that calling you a scammer. That kind of talk is apparently totally acceptable on 2+2.
I cannot totally redo my game and approach because ranges are the latest thing. I have a winning approach, which a can adapt, but not totally redo. Maybe some of your students who are just starting out can play according to your formula. I learned old school. I still limp and vary open sizes some. Everyone got away from that, but those were an effective part of my game, so I am not giving them up.
You have an arrogant know it all attitude, that there is only one way to play.
I went through a similar business with Stealthmunk, who launched a campaign against me, claiming I didn't understand ICM. Now you claim I don't understand ranges. What I am really good is playing against people taking a formulistic approach.
Obviously, I agree with having balanced ranges in general, but IMO it can be taken to far in MTTs. What I object to is worrying much about keeping your calling range or whatever strong, when your opponents have no idea what your ranges are and are not going to adjust at all. When you 3-bet or raise the flop or whatever, of course you should have somewhat balanced ranges, and at least not be readable by a decent player.
