First, you type the name of the song, and then you click the icon above the MESSAGE window that loks like a blue-and-green globe with a paperclip on it. You do a copy-and-paste of the link from the YouTube or wherever you get the song and "paste" it in window that you get from the blue-and-green globe with the paperclip. Then you highlight the words that you want to be the song. Clear as mud, right? :D

I don't even get that fancy.

Just post the url with the www in front, and it automatically highlights it as a clickable link.

I like it to be easy to do.

Before you "paste" the URL in the MESSAGE window, you HIGHLIGHT the words of the song -- first -- in the MESSAGE window. Then click the button to insert the URL. :)

Booooo I must spread rep around first
 
Carl, ...idiot, ....one last time.

Just because you filled out a company's application and signed it doesn't mean you are hired. Or, just because you enrolled in college doesn't mean you are a student. You have to have performance, and when someone belongs to more than one league, performance is the only way for BCAPL to tell if you are a member. BCAPL confirms membership by requesting and receiving regular performance updates, which are either on LeagueSys or turned in manually. Your name was never on them, so your membership is defaulted to the other league. Since the vote was at the end of the prior season, and you quit the beginning of the new season before you had performance, you were never a member. It's that simple. So cry all you want, because it seems these people aren't listening, ...and now, neither am I.

I don't believe I have ever read anywhere in they BCA's rules that they will or have to change rules because of a petition. As others have said, if you don't like the rules find another league or start your own.

This is not a democracy, it is a business. In business, the owner is the dictator. In this case, dictating the rules.

If only people would realize we do not live in anything resembling a democracy.

Please allow me one more post, even though I wrote that I'd only make one and I already did.

I am the husband of the LO, the league statistician and grunt. Carl was not an active member of our league. He was a member on another league and was supposed to be on our team in our league for 9-ball. However, he quit before he played one game. Therefore, he wasn't even a member.

When he broke all this loose, he DID interfere with matches, and there was no dealing with him. After MONTHS of borderline slander and erroneous information posted right beside our league pool tables - plus numerous incidents where he would rag on our membership - there was nothing the LO could do about him.

His very first post was a 3 page document he'd badly typed, to inform our members that (paraphrasing)"...because the 'calling the 9-ball rule' wasn't in the BCAPL rule book, ...your league may not be a BCAPL sanctioned league." This immediately sent tremendous doubt through our entire membership, even to the point of a few of them questioning the integrity and trustworthiness of the LO. And that was just the start of it.

He even brought a petition around during our league play and fought to convince members sign it. In the middle of a game, as he passed me with it in his hands, I told him where to go. I was fuming! So, if that's not bothering players, especially when he isn't even a member, what is?

Over these months, it just so happened that the BCAPL had also had their fill of his BS. They too came to a cross-roads. So, since he wasn't a member of our league, and considering the LO had no recourse, Mark and Bill and the BCAPL 'powers that be' decided the best move was to simply banish him. Since this didn't stop him, they have since made it permanent ....for life. But while banning him hasn't stopped him, it has given those he's attempting to bend their ear the foundation to see this guy for who he really is; he's a troublemaker, an idiot and a loser. And that's the brunt of what happened.

Regarding BCAPL, they have been completely transparent and have demonstrated far more patience than I would have; Carl simply isn't listening. Therefore, as a member of this BCAPL sanctioned league, may I say, "Thank you, Mark and Bill! You have a fine and highly professional organization that not only listened to its LO, but bent over backwards to help ...even though his attempts are to muddy your name as well."

And justnum, to be clear, there is no other issue except that Carl doesn't like the 'Calling the 9-ball' rule our league voted in, and he's even gone so far as to threaten the league and BCAPL with legal action unless they force our league to change it back. Yet, he even helped vote it in.

The mind boggles!

I'm done.

From what I've seen you are wasting your time trying to reason with the guy. If he has in fact interfered with your wife's league you should take him to small claims court and get his money. You deserve to get paid for having to put up with him. He is making your life miserable and enjoying every moment.

I would think a case could be made of going to the owners of the establishments where the league is played and suggesting to them that he is interfering with the league. Could they kindly ban him from entering on league nights?

"Kindly ban"?? What is that, shoving your shoe up his petut, and then apologizing afterwards? Or, after you've lifted him by the back of his shirt and pants and tossed him out the front door on his rear, handing him a box of tissues to clean himself off with?

I think a little R. Lee Ermey treatment is in order:

"You know what makes me sad? YOU DO!! Maybe we should chug on over to mambi-pambi land, where MAYBE we can find some self-confidence for you, you jack-wagon!! ... Tissue? <clunk!> Crybaby."
