well I waited a day or so to see if "Bald Mike" would come on here and say that he wasn't the person posting as PCN and he hasn't. I think if I was falsely accused the first thing I would do would be to come on here and defend myself. Instead I see that the poolcuenews site has gone done, PCN's facebook page is now gone and "Bald Mike" has removed links to his personal website in his profile - leaving only the pooldawg sites intact.
Rather than refuting this claim he's instead covering his tracks. Nice. It's all the proof I need.
the people who claim they know Mike and he isn't capable of being so mean...well the same can be said about the kids who shot up Columbine as well. It's always the nicest people, the ones you never suspect, that seems to be the most ugliest inside.
There's a certain amount of freedom when posting anonymously as you never have to face the consequences of your actions. I think "Bald Mike" never thought he would be found out - and as a result the PCN site, 2.0, got meaner and meaner in his posts and attacks. The post that sparked his outing was just so that he could attack Justin, once again, and make jabs at Sarah - while trying to hurt Caroline's Mezz business due to her association with Justin and Sarah. These are three of the nicest people in the industry that I've met.
So as he was trying to hurt Mezz by their association with the cliche...how is Pooldawg going to respond with thier association with "Bald Mike"? Now what are you going to do now that the shoe's on the other foot?

Yep, many of JB's "haters" just lose sight of the fact that this man has a LOT to offer, and is a valued member of AZB. He's passionate about what he does, and isn't this the kind of people we need more of in our industry, rather than those solely focused on "what's in it for me" bottom line?
John: I couldn't have described the whole SEO/linkbait/link-juice thing better than you did, if I tried. And I work in the shivering cold data centers hosting the rows of racks of equipment that make up the very backbone of this stuff we're all using! Great job!

Hi Jay! Yes, it is quite interesting that, back in post #8 in this thread, I captured him in a state of replying to this thread (albeit text-only -- I'm kicking myself for not grabbing a screenshot & cropping it). But nothing ever came, and much later, his site was taken down under the suspicious facade of "some dope hacked my site, I know who it is, but I won't go by third-hand info, and thus I'm done, selling the domain" type of excuse.
It's a shame, really, that such otherwise "nice people" (as described by some folks here that know him) can have a dark side. People's actions speak volumes. If he wasn't guilty of what he was outed for here, it's a simple matter to just come on here, deny it ferociously (I know if I were accused in public of something I didn't do, I'd come out on the forum with my flamethrower in hand, full gas tank, and pilot light lit), and explain why it's not me, with my finger on the trigger ready to light up those that still want to accuse me even after my explanation. (My integrity -- and my word that goes with it -- is one of my very most important assets, and I'll defend it to the hilt. But I also know that other people "operate" differently, and for them, other things in life are more important; e.g. the thrill of lambasting someone in a public blog, and watching the pandemonium that ensues. Some people live off that "Hee-hee-hee! Look, see what I did!" teenage-ish emotional charge)
He started to reply to this thread, but then abandoned the effort, and we never heard from him. And now his site is down, with a very suspicious excuse on his FB page.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see what transpires after this. I'm sure even the PoolDawg folks are going to have to look at this long and hard. The events (and the timing) are just too impeccable to be an honest mistake / coincidence.
In case you're wondering how an I.T. guy like me might have a thorn in his taint for people like this, it's because I see it all too often. I work in I.T. security, and when I do a post-incident forensics examination of a security breach, it's almost always the "but he/she's such a nice person -- I can't believe they're capable of such an act" types that actually turn out to be the culprits. The noisy ones -- the ones "expected" to do these types of things -- seem to have a built-in safety valve to just let off steam as soon as it builds up, so their bark is worse than their bite. On the other hand, those that hold it in are the more dangerous types -- they tend to "release" elsewhere and in a much more destructive manner.
I hope this whole situation pans out for the best,

Altho I disliked immensely the mean things he said about Nathan, it was still his opinion. Speaking his mind does mean he has a dark side, imo. He was just stating his opinion. BUT, unfortunately, those opinions hurt us and our friends.
It actually didn't bother me what he said about me. In fact, unfortunately what he said was quite accurate.
It's more what he says about other people that bothers me. Or more so, HOW he says it. The name calling, drooling over female players, general slander, and the fact that he tends to pick on the same people all the time shows that he's a very insecure individual.
To each their own though. He's entitled to speak as he pleases....it's just nice to see that he can't hide behind an anonymous alias anymore. Accountability is everything.
While this looks pretty damning, has anyone confronted Mike Feiman? While it does look bad, I would hate to see an unfair lynching. I mean, he has an account on AZB and obviously logs in often, it would help to hear his side of things.
I do agree with what Nate said, tho; accountability is everything. Be a man, and have the balls to stand behind your words.

Now that's the funniest thing I have read on AZB EVER. Gotta rep you for this.
He started to post after I started this, maybe 15 min after he was "replying" but never posted. Shortly after the blog was down.
I would love to hear his side. I mean, he can't be too mad being mixed up with someone he sponsors, right? Pooldawgs cannot dislike PCN if they sponsor it.
Funny thing is, one person that stood up for him in this thread had the opposite to say last week in Vegas. Funny how that works.
Geez. First, it was Fast Larry, now, it looks like its John Kaplan Collins Barton Huang.
Eric >the psycho magnet
And that's the second funniest thing I have ever read. If you only understood exactly what you said then it would be the funniest. I can't rep you again in such short time.
Note: Head to YouTube for a George Carlin refresher course.
I'm sorry but this is not opinion:
5. The clique represents everything that is wrong with pool and does far more harm than good to those businesses with whom they associate. Let me explain this. The clique spent pretty much the entire event hanging out in the Mezz booth. I went in there on a couple of occasions wanting to test drive a Mezz Breaker, but I couldn’t because the cool kids were too busy playing with themselves and wouldn’t talk to me (I must say I wasn’t sure who was working in there and who was just hanging out, but I assume at least one of them was supposed to be there helping people). So instead, I bounced over to the Predator booth, talked to Kim White, hit a BK2 and a VX2.9, went back to my room and ordered me a Predator breaker from one of my favorite online stores.
It's a flat out lie he made up.
In the early part of the week before teams arrived it was slooooow. he was in the Pooldawg booth banging balls while I was in the Mezz booth have a conversation with Sarah. No one else was around or hitting balls on the Mezz table. He had plenty of time to try the Mezz products (which, by the way, Pooldawg carries).
He just made up a lie to attack people. This is not stating an opinion at all.
After wading through all this I have concluded:
1. I could care less about poolcuenews.com
2. I want to hang out with the "clique" in the Mezz booth and meet all the cool girls like Sarah, Samm and Ashley. I'll even rack balls if they'll have me.
3. I don't stay out late enough when I'm in Vegas. All the fun happens after I'm asleep. :sorry:
4. I should always bring a cue when there are guys like Clearly and the Tar Baby looking for a game. I don't know about Nathan. He looks too much like a reformed hustler. As for the cameramen Rafael and Frenchie, their names alone scare me. :thumbup:
P.S. I apologize for everything I wrote in the above post. I just got knocked out of a poker tournament, a little out of the money, and I'm in a foul mood. If I cash at the World Series next week, I promise to write only nice things about everybody, even Jerry and Mike. :grin-square:

I'd just like to say that wasn't me. (there are only a few who are standing up for Mike in this thread...so I don't want anyone thinking that I say one thing here and something else at another time)

Sorry Jay... I am regretful to inform you, that you do NOT have what it takes to write a controversial blog. You show no ability to inflame, degrade, critizize, mock, or dream things that didn't happen, but write as if it did.
Stick to pool and non fiction books (yeah, poker was left off intentionally)
JKidding!!!
Wow... I am in a really ugly mood too. I just woke up after 90 mins of sleep and I am pretty upset. I just had a dream I got fired from my job of 7 years. I am a IT Manager and we've had a lot of changeover of top level jobs lately. Guys being let go, that blew me away. Had no clue, and I find out about these things before they happen, so I have to work with these people, knowing they're going to have their lives shattered in a few hours.
My dream involved the new guy, no 2 in the company. I report to the no 1. of the company. No. 2 and I, didn't hit it off so good. So, he says there was this pool dvd left on a table the previous night and he wanted it. I had taken it and put in my computer bag and it was in my car. I went down to get it, came back up and was in my office and noticed my desktop PC was gone. That can't be good:angry: I"ve been let go out of complete nowhere before. It stays with you the rest of your life. It's hard to understand why, if you've never been written ever, you get along with everyone and you do your job top notch.
Once you have that happen, you are scared every time you see someone meeting with the Div President or anytime your boss says out of nowhere, "I need to talk to you, came you come in the office please"
So I"m shook up and tried to go back to sleep, but the dream came back. F&)K it.. I'm staying up until the "thought" goes away.
I think I'm still employed....... ???? It WAS a dream.... ?????
I wouldn't know anything about doing this :wink: That lifetime membership card at Flamethrowers-R-US is someone else's I swear.
you sure he didnt take that quote from you somewhere down the line ? it seems i remember a rant from you awhile back saying the same thing word for word lol. btw glad you didnt get voted off.
Eric,
I may be dense (probably), but isn't the purpose of this thread to confront him?
Mike
Mike,
Absolutely, this thread is calling out Mike Feiman. The point I was trying to make is that once you get past the first post, It starts to turn into a lynching via circumstantial evidence. I guess what I was trying to say is that it is time for Mike Feiman to give his side of things before the town lynches him more.
Eric >has no pony in this race but did spend time at the Mezz booth
