Marty Herman

I dont care who you are, that is funny right there.
I had a run in with Marty with a supposed Scruggs cue that he was selling on Ebay. Asked him about it and got no response. I actually warned people here about it becuse it looked like a kindergardner cut the TS in it with a knife. Well, lets just say that I had less than flattering words coming from him. Total nutjob.
 
If you are referring to me then I don't consider it bitter to out a hypocrite. Monstermash put up his thread warning people about Marty and I am chiming in to warn people about Monstermash.

I consider Marty to be in desperate need of help. He is OBVIOUSLY very ill and the manifestation of his illness is socially disturbing and kind of scary. I consider anyone who taunts him deliberately when they know he is mentally unbalanced to be themselves sociopathic and borderline evil. At best they are socially inept and unable to see their own faux pas.

John, I see where you're coming from and respect your opinion on this matter. I want you to know that. I think a major problem with people agreeing with what you're saying, is that IF Marty is indeed mentally ill, he has been for some time now and the majority of us ONLY know the crazy old man. Based on what I've read, he's had a few screws loose for some time now and it wasn't that someone just flipped a switch.

I guess what I'm saying is, the crazy cat lady didn't go out and find 40 feline friends to live with her in one night. Its a long process and unless you've known the cat lady for 40 years (before she stopped bathing and started eating fancy feast with her friends...) she's ONLY been known as one thing. The Cat Lady. Know what I mean?
 
If Marty had said something like, "I fully understand and my reputation for being a psycho is definitely earned. Thank you for letting me know the reason you choose not to deal with me."

Would MM have posted that?

I bet not.

LMFAO! John, I'll tell you right now, I WOULD HAVE POSTED IT! :thumbup:
That would have been the best reply in the world! I appreciate humor and if Marty were to reply like this, I would probably piss my pants laughing! :) IDK if MM has the same sense of humor, but I would have told the world that Marty Herman snapped out of it and should be allowed back on az if he so chooses. I understand your point John, I agree with you to a point. As a generalized way of thinking, you are correct. But IMHO Marty is the exception to a lot of things said in his defense.
John, I think a lot like you do. Socratic method. It's just very hard for some people to apply that type of thinking to something that is so far out there.

Yeah I understand....

I think that was an old JOSS cue wasn't it? I actually ended up with that particular cue. I did a trade with him and he was 1st class with me. No issues at all. Actually had a pretty good conversation with him about cues and pool in general and enjoyed talking to him....

Marty "the loose cannon" Herman

Isn't it crazy that some crazy old fart who as i hear it isn't even allowed to post here managed to spawn 5 pages of posts. Wild...:confused:
 
Pretty sure him and Roy Malott honed their PR skills together:(

Not likely. Roy is a stand up guy who takes great pains to sevice his customers. But he doesn't take it up the ass for them. He is gruff and sometimes quite pissy in his responses but NO ONE here can say that Roy ever ripped them off and if they do they are lying.

Maybe you want to relate the exact story of the deal between you and Roy complete with the proper timeline and then let the people here judge who is right and who is not.

The funny thing about Roy is that if he is such a bad guy then how come he manages to continually make sales?

You want to know what sort of guy Roy Malott is?

Ask Michael Huang from Omega, ask Lucky in Japan, ask Bill Schick, and the list goes on and on and on with people who know the real Roy.

Everyone here should remember whenever anyone pipes up about Roy that there are two sides to every story. If anyone here knows Seinfeld's work then you know what No Soup For You means. That's Roy. If he doesn't like how you come at him then it's no soup for you, next in line please. And the line NEVER ends.
 
He did the same thing to me on a PFD I had listed on ebay for a friend. He's a psychopathic weasle. Nobody likes him. He should be admitted, but hasn't been becuase his wife is involved in the medical field and probably has a lot of pull in the community. Marty Herman probably craps in his hand and throws it at the computer screen when he gets angry. If thats the case... he probably has a warehouse full of poo covered pc moniters :) I've offered to talk to him on the phone about his anger problems. He just calls me a rat and threatens to cut mmy face and pee on me. Don't worry about him, as you've done nothing wrong. He's just crazy. Literally.
I made a comment on a stream that herman happen to be on,we disagree and then i see i have a personal message from who else herman,(you will die u rat i will cut your throat ,u r scum)herman said that and then some to me,so i told him if he really ment what he was saying i would meet him at the next derby city classic,sence i will b there anyway and then we could really meet one and other,after that he went away slowly.
 
Of course Richie. If Marty ever came close to talking to people in the pool world like he does online, he would have missed a considerable amount of Birthdays by now.

Thats a good explanation of Roy. One day I did give him reason to think I was a pretty huge dumbass over a case. He was nothing but pleasant and helpful to me so I agree, its all how you come across to him.

Altho, he has gone off on people for seemingly nothing in the past.

I would do business with him until he shows me the other side.
 
After reading 6 long pages of posts, I have come up with the following opinions.....

1. Marty Herman is and always will be a as$hole.
(guaranteed not to say the things he does to someones face)

2. Jb- your posts are so long that I think you missed your calling as a author. I can't read another.

I'm afraid to ask if I'm Jb or if John Barton is Jb :) I know I can be longwinded at times and I'm sorry for that. I try to shorten it up at times, I do!!!

LOL - I need an editor. The easy way to never see my posts is to use the FF addon I call Super Ignore. It erases whoever you put on it as if they don't exist. You don't see when they are quoted, you don't see threads they start, they are banished from your life.

It doesn't work naturally in FF 4 BUT there is a workaround to make it work. I just installed FF4 and will be using it again since it's faster than the 3.6 I had stopped using it for Chrome because Chrome was faster.

See my sig for how to get Super Ignore. You can also banish threads and topics you don't want to see. When I use FF my forum experience is much more pleasing.
