    An excellent post drsha. :good:

    As a life long pronator there is nothing I enjoy more than a good pronate around the house before bedtime.

    Barry:

    Even though I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not (no:rolleyes:?), I would love to try to prove a point here with you as the subject.

    If you are not comfortable with continuing the dialogue that I am about to write, no problem.

    But for once, on The Arena, lets just have some fartlek fun.

    As it seems that you are referencing pronation as "bad", where is your pathology?
    Where does your pronation live?
    In other words, let's diagnostically try to find out where your underlying weaknesses live because so far, you have not stated any pain, injury or suffering and so, theoreticcaly, you are "PreTS".

    As a lifelong "pronator", and using the standard definition that Isaac and Skinner state live internationally of pronation , where does your pronation live?

    In the future, if you actually thought a postiing was good, Click on the Thanks button to the right of each posting )you can delete it later if you think you made a mistake). This way, all know that you felt the posting worthy of inspection.

    I’ve been purposely avoiding any further interaction with certain posters because I feel that the level of discourse has diminished to the point where this is no longer a professional forum and these are no longer debates but long running infomercials for patented products and the cult-like ramblings of certain barefoot advocates.

    When I ran across this thread and Dennis begging for a “thanks” from Barry Onion, my bile duct went into overdrive and a sustained gag reflex was elicited. How pathetic and shameful, a new low for the “worst of Podiatry-Arena”.

    Seriously, when is it decided that certain posters do not contribute but rather incite, vilify, argue bereft of logic and deplete the collective intelligence of the forum to the level of a non professional verbal street fight between idiot combatants and salesmen?

    David,

    I seriously haven't learned anything new on here in some time because an inordinate amount of OUR time and energy is wasted supplying verbal lithium to the deluded ramblings of a few. I'm over it, time for a vote I suggest. Otherwise this once wonderful resource is fast going to the dogs where biomechanics is concerned. A pity.:empathy:

    Whilst I can sympathise with David W and I also at the same time hear Eric F when he says he responds as he feels something needs to be said, to balance certain concerning views when they are aired as it were, I don't think that a vote is necessarily appropriate, even though we might consider the "professionalism " of this forum to be under "threat."

    In fact, personally, such a threat is in no way apparent to me. I made it clear a while ago that I decided that when certain people repeatedly post in the way they do I skip over their posts and almost always have chosen not to respond to them.

    This has worked for me. We have choices. I think the more appropriate response in this instance is to ignore the post when it is posted with obvious intention to divert the thread. Ignore the post and just carry on with the thread.

    We can choose to respond or not. If the people annoy us so much then choose to respond or ignore. If you choose to repeatedly respond, despite what history has shown you about the people concerned, then ask ourselves why. Why is it necessary to feel we have convinced then or proven our perspective to them.

    These people only come back because by our responses we keep throwing them pieces of crust to chew on. Why keep feeding them?

    Sorry if a bit garbled but tired tonight.
