I heard that he has been at the Seattle Go Center.

I think just on the way back from the Go Congress he stopped by.

Having seen quite a bunch of different teachers already, I also think that shygosts teaching is a class of its own. Highly recommendable, imo.

However, whether or not you like a particular teaching style is always also a matter of personal taste.

What I do not like, is the style of Violence's post, questioning the reputation of a professional teacher (meaning someone who pays his bills with teaching revenue): pretends to be stronger than he is, teaches bad habits, his students do not improve beyond kyu range, ... This might rather deserve a warning as well.

Someone who receives money and "pays his bills" through Go lessons should also be subject to a higher standard in terms of quality - why would questioning his teaching "deserve a warning" (any more than providing critical reviews of other commercial products)? Perhaps I'm a bit biased as I share quite a bit of Violence's view on Shygost, but I saw those more as personal observations on his method rather than on the man himself (i.e. not ad hominem attacks, for which I would agree that warning would be appropriate).

Additionally, this thread is almost 3 years old and Violence hasn't logged on for about 18 months.
