Why hasn't T-God entered a profile yet...for all I know it could be some house hack.
With all the information spewing out of T-God I am starting to think that I need references and some credentials before I start to believe what he says.
And I'm not about to search and read old posts to find that.
Just post a profile like others.

Profiles are nice, but it really comes down to the quality of information provided. T-GOD through the years has been incredibly helpful to many bowlers on this site. I've conversed with him on many topics, and I consider him a big reason I've been able to reach the 230+ hack level.
Who is T-GOD? Only he kmows, and frankly it doesn't matter. Many here post their names and 'credentials', but the real value of what they present won't get you a bad cup of coffee. T-GOD's proven he's knowledgable and that's all that is really important. People have their own reasons for posting or (not posting) information about themselves, and it should be respected.

What difference does a profile make? How can you be sure that the information someone enters in the profile is truthful?
Does someone have more credentials to give information if they list their high games/series and what balls they currently have?

I agree. The information that posters share is more important than what they put in their profile since there is no guarantee of truth in the profile. Also, some posters use the profile of others to denigrate them. And if a person does not want to give a profile, (as Steven said) it must be respected.

I think, at least part of the point anyways, is T-God accuses the Brunswick guys of "running and hiding" yet he won't even give his name. Say what you want about Ric, or Nick, etc., but at least they are letting you know who they are. To those that say the information should stand on its own, you are correct, however, if they information is so good, tell everyone who you are. There are a lot of member who put out good info and I take it at face value. But, I have seen guys like T-god put out good info, but when asked they reply with "If I said who I was, I'd get bashed" because apparently, if you are big name we will tear you apart. If Jeff Carter and Phil Cardinale (Exempt pro and bowling industry leader, give me a higher level on the food chain) can put there names out there, I don't see why anyone else can't.
To me, those guys rank right up there with the "I know inside information, but I can't tell you" guys. If you can't tell us, shut up. Telling everyone you know a secret doesn't make you cool. The internet is wonderful, because we can hide behind our keyboards.
Any day of the week, I will take the word of the guy who gives his name over the guy that says he is too important to tell you.
WSUstroker, you are correct, we can't tell for sure that what someone tells us is truthful. But, what sounds more believable, giving a name that people can look up, or being told "I won't tell you my name, but I'm an expert so take my word as gospel"?

I have never seen T-God run and hide from debate on these boards.
The profile means NOTHING. The debate means EVERYTHING. I will not judge someone by a "profile" that they created themselves and may or may not be true. I reserve judgment for what they SAY and HOW they say it.
Overstating positions sounds stupid and many with stellar profiles do that. Ridiculing others instead of engaging in honest debate is childish and many with stellar profiles do that too. (I am talking abut both CGMADDAH and CGNOMADDAH proponents here)

I couldn't agree more RevZ, but thats exactly what T-G does. Just keep stating the same incorrect information that basically nobody else in the industry agrees with. Atleast nobody outside of the parrots on the Lane1 Forum.
