Yes.

The purpose of this forum is:

Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing.

Tripp is in this category. I really think that what HL said should be taken to heart. I am both hopeful and fearful for you. Pastors like Tripp are master manipulators. They come across as very knowledgeable and that their way is THE WAY. While Tripp may be specifically telling you not to spank I thinks is paradigm is still potentially harmful to you. It would not be fair if we let the rest of his teaching slide.
