Another woman hater, /facepalm.
Bottle Pool streamed LIVE.
Does this mean we may see Bottle Pool streamed LIVE. That would be the jumping point for sure.

That is true; this is one poster. I've been reading this forum for about 10 years. Believe me when I tell you that this kind of demeaning of women with vulgarity happens from time to time on this forum, but since the majority of its readers are men, it doesn't seem to be as abrasive to read for some mebmers. In fact, in some circles, from what I have read here, it is an accepted norm to use vulgarity when referencing females.
I can believe that it happens from time to time, and you're right, it shouldn't. It has no place in today's society. I just think it's more of a general observation of the world than of this forum in particular.
This forum has its fair share of crazies who spew their fair share of crap (in my opinion, of course), but I don't see a huge amount of misogyny on here.
If Pangit was representative of the members here then I think the place would see a lot less traffic.
Women have been discriminated against in the pool world for many years. I can remember going on the road with a so-called "pool hustler" in the 1980s, and when we got to Petersburg, Virginia, there was a sign out front that said "No Women Allowed."
It wasn't until recently that females were allowed to compete in men's tournaments. When Earl Strickland got spanked by Gerda Hofstatter, a female pro, at the 2005 IPT King of the Hill Tour in Orlando, Florida, females pool peeps everywhere rejoiced and cheered. Earl couldn't get out of the venue fast enough, with the media chasing close behind. If you've got an extra 10 bucks to spend, check it out for grins ---> Earl vs. Gerda.
Men claim women can't get there when it comes to competition, but in my opinion, it's because women haven't been given the chance, until recently.
With the female pro tour circling the drain and no men's pro tour, I envision professional pool in America not advancing anytime soon. Attendance is down in some major pool events. The Seminole Tour ended last year. The Glass City Open closed its doors for good, but they let females compete. The Super Billiards Expo has moved yet again to a new location. I hope for the sake of the East Coast pool peeps that it is a success, but females are welcome to play at the SBE.
Being a female, I guess I see things differently, and that's okay. We all have our opinions, I guess, but when I read vulgarity against women on a pool forum, it makes the hair on my neck stand up. Others may not notice. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. :frown:

OMG's blog is her deal where she gets to say pretty much whatever she wants, sophmoric, vulgar, whatever.
AZ has a different standard.
I believe what you wrote above falls way below that threshold.
w-a-y below.
best,
brian kc
Jeanette, Eva, Jennifer and Allison (to name a few) known at a higher level
Yes, it's certainly not prudent to judge a whole group by a "self proclaimed troll," that is disguised to begin with. I've been around many women from the tour and they aren't ever treated with disrespect.
As a matter of fact Jeanette, Eva, Jennifer, Emily and Allison (to name a few)
are recognized at a higher level than the majority of the men these days. This is due to their higher visibility on Face Book and ESPN I would venture to guess.
There are several other women players that are getting a lot of recognition lately from their Face Book postings. I, for one, am glad to see them taking the initiative to promote themselves, I wish more of the men players would follow suit. Brandon Shuff had a nice write up and of course Mike gets a lof of "press", like the sample from this thread.

I disagreed with most of what you said in this thread.
I couldnt agree more with this post. Spot on.:thumbup:
The night before the match, there was the first IPT players meeting. Players and spouses were all dressed in our Sunday's best to attend. It was a big deal, this meeting.
After the players meeting, the smokers went outside to puff. I was a smoker then, so I caught the entire Earl show. He was boasting how he was going to beat Gerda, as that's who Earl pulled in the draw. Gerda and Allison were within earshot and heard the whole rant. Earl was laughing and heehawing about how lucky he was to get this draw.
Well, after the match, Earl wasn't laughing anymore, and immediately after Gerda sank the winning shot, Earl was out the door. This venue was on the third floor, and Earl had to go down three flights of escalators. You should have seen it. Earl was trying his best to leave the Orlando Conference Center, with the media, microphones, and cameras on his heels. You could have fried an egg on Earl's head, and he face was beet-red. :embarrassed2:

I dunno. I keep hearing Gandalf in this one. "You shall not pass!"
Pangin < Moron
You are a stone cold idiot! Just sayin'
I can't believe you aren't banned for this clear type of dribble. It's completely offensive and uncalled for!

Why is what he said so bad,maybe he was just joking around.Reading
what somebody writes never tells us the there spirit of the mood
they were writing it in,specially on the computer.
I read what she wrote about Mike,and thought it was fun,then taken
to another level.I have no issues with that because I continued and chose
to read it.
To bash the guy over and over becomes a little redundant,but I guess
if you don't like the guy,its excepted.
For the people that do like him,might consider this horrible and have
every right to share there opinions as well and shouldn't be nailed to
the cross for it.
Her blog was brought to the AZ forums,everyone has a right to comment,
good or bad.Takecare
Her blog was brought here for us all to read.If he
doesn't like it why can't he write his thoughts like she did about Mike?
To write what she did about Mike shows she has some thick skin.
If her skin isn't that thick,you must watch what you write.
I cannot figure out what I find more offensive about you, it must be everything..
Oh, I don't know, maybe it was...
Glad you could interpret that Pang.. was "joking." It was certainly not so obvious to most everyone else. JMHO
By the way, I don't know anything about this person, I did not like what he/she wrote about OMGWTF, I thought it was stepping way over the line.
I get what your saying and maybe it was over the line
to some,but it was also over the line what she wrote about Mike.
To be honest when I read her Blog,I felt bad for Britney who I
know.Sometimes when somebody writes something about a person,it
can effect more than that person.
Often Bloggers forget this,and get wrapped up in the entertainment part.
A ban is too light a punishment for this repugnant drivel.
From now on, everyone, world wide, should have a new name for the apex of douchebaggery. Every parent should teach every child not to be a Pangit.
You sir are not alone. The cool kids just get to pump up their weak egos by knockung others.
Mike handles himself a lot better than I would. I would take the cell phone right out of your hand. The next time I would smash it to pieces.
This girl has no clue what it takes to make it as a pool player or a writer.
you might want to look in the mirror on this one
