I agree with short stripper. If the wind is quartering from the front you want the stick back but pointing toward the wind to keep that wing down. Was there pehaps another line to 'let the wind blow the stick??'
Plourde used the adage 'Climb into wind, Dive away from the wind' to remember where to put the stick. Whether you put the stick neutral or forward in a tailwind depends on the type. If you fly a pitts they say it doesn't matter where you put the stick.
