Bobby can come to China and play one of the women I sponsor with a case. If he beats her then I will play him.

That's like me and John Jones having a dispute about whether Ferrari or Lamboghini is better, and to settle it I should fist fight him...

Just because BC is OBVIOUSLY better than JB, JB should just STFU and hand over some cash???

Bobby said he'd play Bartrum in place of barton. Barton said lets roll, and now Bobby is ducking by being choosy with the post man. Plain and simple.

I think we should just have the two of the throw quarters at the spot for $1k a throw untill some one is down $20k or more. Only the loser can walk away...

I also don't have a dog in the fight. I use a Volturi Case, and don't care to buy anything else. I just want to see the barking actually become a game.

Forget it Justin. Bobby will NEVER play anyone Bartrum's speed or better for any significant amount. There is one thing we can get out of this thread.....

Jack Justis sponsor Bobby "World Pro" Chamberlain will NEVER be congratulated for winning a professional tournament. Not one, not ever, not anywhere.

I would bet $1000 against that each year from now until one of us dies.

.
I never ever ever ever said to replace Barton with Bartum ever ever ever.
I want to play both of them with Barton putting up the money for the matches and I put up all on my end also.
Barton is broke and scared to death.If that's not the case then tell Barton to post up and let's play the first match next month in Vegas.
Come on Barton your move now post up the money with Mark Griffin are you broke?

Now jhanso18 To answer your question you must not have seen all the threads and understand about the matches.
Barton challenged me to play Barton first and I accepted and the thread got deleted by a moderator.
Barton then challenged me to play Chris Bartrum and I accepted and made a thread and excepted as long as Barton kept his word to put up all the money.
So there you go 2 matches not 1 match.
I wanna play and can post whatever amount of money for these matches as long as they are equal bets.
My post money I will fly to las vegas the 1st of next week and drop off with Mark Griffin and Barton can do the same by wire transfer or one of his friends for the first match against himself or both matches at the same time.

What else is missing here.Oh a table to play on,the rules and a referee.No problem Im sure Mark Griffin can set all that up and I know everyones money is 100 % secure with him as his is about the most important person in American pool.

If you would like to discuss the matches and have any ideas to help please pm me and I will respond back as I wanna play and the 1st match can be in Vegas in July against Barton and to answer a question I know im an underdog against Bartum but I will accept the challenge for sure as Barton did also say he would stake Bartum in any game against me so best 2 out of 3 races to 500 straight pool shouldn't make me as big of underdog as other games.
Yes I did offer a round robin format because it was the offer to barton and figured it would be good to play Chris the same way however Barton did say any game so I just want to bet with Barton but I know your an action guy so maybe you can bet when I play Barton with someone but I doubt anyone will put their money on him except himself.
As for me and Bartum you might find a few people that would be willing to bet something on me and Chris playing the straight pool races but he is probably the favorite don't you think so.

So what is the most winning case in pool???????

Also will a Worldpro, you gonna play Bartrum, and/or barton for the cash?


I think that's about all anyone really wants to know right now.

I can't break Barton's arm to get him to post.He is scared to death I'm sure.If he isn't scared he is broke.
If its neither then he needs to just quit talking and post up.
I got my post ready and ready to play him.
I don't blame you or anyone else for wanting to see all the barking quit.
It's simple post up Barton and then he can talk all the shit he wants.

This seems simple enough. JB post up with Mark G. and lets see some ACTION!!! Might as well bring your tools and/or boxing gloves so you can take Bobby up on one and/or both of the different $5k free rolls he offered.

Let's see it so the squabbling can stop!
 
Exactly.He is having a tough week.We will let all that stay in the sneaker section.Lets post up and get it started.There shouldn't be any more Barking.Problem solved.Post up Barton.

Post up Barton.
 
It's all games boy and girls. We all know that. Lee Van was congratulated heartily the DAY he won. If his case or cue sponsor wanted to congratulate him he could have and gotten the plug in.

We all know how the game is played here, no need to be coy about it.

Like I said I am going to make T-shirts and give them away to all the players and then every time one of "my" players wins I will make a post about it..... :-)

JB CASES PLAYER WINS GALACTIC CHAMPIONSHIP.

focus%20shirt.jpg


That should make the board happy :-)

The difference here is Jack Justis has never asked any Professional Player to carry his case as every Professional player has asked him to make them a case.As for you shirts you would have to ask players to wear them and im sure they would never do it unless you asked them to wear them and paid them also.
So if you get a bunch of t-shirts and don't make the shirts will that make you a t-shirt designer just like since you stated you haven't made a case since 1991 then you can be a case designer and t-shirt designer.
Barton take the week off as this week has been a very bad week for you from spending thousand of hours to disgrace Justis cases about protection and your video shows that your cases can damage cues and you can try to make all the excuses you want but everyone knows the facts now.You decided to get involved in a sneaker thread for no reason and ended up with a getting busted about your whole protection about jb cases and the video failed you and now is exposed for everyone to see and your very upset and trying to backpeddle every way you can.
I don't think anyone will say you design a terrible case but that being said it was just a matter of time with your obsession with Jack Justis that you would be exposed for it somehow and the time has finally happened.So take the week off and relax and regroup and try to move on and put your obsession in the past and im sure your so called haters will move on also.

Are you feeling better Bobby? Feeling stronger now?

I got involved for a reason, to bust assumptions. In the sneaker thread the premise was that New Balance shoes are made in the USA. But it turns out that 75% of their shoe production is NOT made in the USA and of the remaining 25% the whole shoe is also NOT made in the USA, in fact a critical component, the soles of the shoes are imported from China.

Just like a Justis case where 50% of the case, the ACTUAL case part of the case, is also made in China. Something you and Joe Van Buren conveniently and consistently gloss over every time you attempt to wrap yourselves in the flag and use the Made in USA marketing tactic.

For the protection video nothing was busted because nothing was claimed. It is a video that shows what is happening in interiors with three levels of protection and in ours in 12 fall tests ours is clearly superior and in one the cues might have touched for a 1400th of second. Contrasted by the crashing, vibrating, banging, and moving the cues do in the other two generic interiors.

Lastly, your offer to play. It's very simple Bobby, you offered to play Chris Bartrum for $20,000 if I back it. You made a huge post about it and I accepted your offer with the condition that you post the money with a neutral party. People in the industry that I do business with are not neutral parties I will not involve them in anything like this. As a self-proclaimed industry veteran you ought to know the reason for this. You can try all you like to squirm out of it but no one forced you to offer to play Chris. I already told you that you and I would not be playing, not only because I think you are way out of my league but also because I find you to be a hideous person in general.

For some reason you seem to think that because you have some money, 8 million minus $130,000 for Justis cases according to your reports on here, that this entitles you to say whatever you want and bully anyone you want to. You think you can call my wife a $3 hooker, you think you can flat out lie about my business, you think you can call my employees slaves, and a host of other derisive and defamatory insults you have tossed my way. On this forum Bobby we don't care how much money you have. All you need is $35 to be golden on here. :-)

We care about the content you post. Since you have been on AZ you have been a pusher of cues, a pusher of Justis cases, and INFREQUENTLY conversed about pool. And in what you have posted you have reminded us that you are rich, that you have run 300 balls on a diamond and you think that this is a world record, that you are rich, that you own a bunch of Justis cases, that you are rich, that you run a lot of balls no one sees, you own a bunch of Justis cases, that you are rich......etc

In other words, you are not much a contributor to the fabric of this site Bobby. You just don't bring any extra quality to it. You are pissy because I have called out Jack several times and you want to protect your self-proclaimed $130,000 investment. But honestly, calling my wife a $3 hooker like the one you say you had in China and insinuating that I am a pedophile isn't the way to protect that investment because it only makes me more determined to not only build a better case but to expose every hypocritical side you have that I can.

And that INCLUDES threads like these which you put up just to bait me into responding.

Well here I am, can you land this fish or will the fish win? I don't feel good about this, I don't want to write it. But as long as you think you can bully me into silence we will do this dance.


P.S. Seriously though if you're going to USE AZB this way then at least come up with $35 to support the site. Have you noticed the new site and all the work they put into integrating the news and archives with the forum? As much use as you get out of AZB to further your agenda you should help them pay the bills with a little support.

I am letting you go Bobby. I was on tilt since SBE about you and Thomas Wayne and Joe Van Buren.

You want to bet so much and carry on your agenda? All right, here is a bet you can make with me.

I am determined to break my habit of responding to your trollling. So with that in mind I will not reply to anything you say in the next month. You do your best to bait me, talk about whatever you want, insult my family, trash my business, put up misleading marketing and I will not respond. Either the community will handle it or it will go unanswered.

The bet is $1000 to go to the Billiard Education Fund. Since I am 100% confident you won't bet this I will tell the entire forum here and now that if I break this promise from this post onward from now until July7th I will still donate $1000 to the BEF.

So there you go boys. Do your best. I am not putting you on ignore using the software I am putting you on ignore using willpower. If a person can break an addiction to drugs in three weeks then I can break and addiction to trolls in four.

Post up Barton

There you go everybody Barton is in full swing to make sure he gets as far away from keeping his word.Barton there were 2 threads which I opened and the first thread was a thread that I accept your challenge to play YOU and it was erased by a moderator.I wonder who begged to it removed.
Next I opened a thread because you got corned after talking trash to Bartum about staking Kelly fisher and when Bartrum accept you did your backpeddling and involved me and said you would back Bartrum 100% against me and at any game so I accept that game also. So everyone knows the deal so don't cloud it up by making me a bad guy because I don't care about any of that. Just keep your word as everybody as they have stated are tired of all the barking and no action.I got my money and will post it on Tuesday in Las Vegas so you can do the same just like me.

Anyways.....

Now on to the bad guy stuff you mentioned.Barton you found me on facebook and decided to send me some unnecessary messages and I responded and yes I made a hooker comment but in no way did I ever say it about your wife,i never mentioned the words wife,girlfriend,relative,karen,Miss barton,Mrs. Barton or anything like that it ws a picture and not the same picture you tried to sell it to everyone of a pregnant women and you together.Even being pissed off from you and after you said it was your wife which I still don't know that for sure anyways I said I was sorry.I was wrong to say that about any woman at all and was embarrassed about my actions and even my daughter told me she was unhappy about it.Also it was a private message not public and you got your moneys worth making a book out of it.And it doesn't matter but if I ever see your wife and she doesn't kill me I would apologize to her even though Im sure she would spit in my face and I deserve it even not knowing it was her.
Now I never called you a pedophile ever.I said pedophile type comments and certainly could have used different words.A pedophile involves children and I never used any words containing kids,children etc. ever never ever.Yes I was wrong but also I was letting you tell your side of the story and that people were saying some bad stuff about you that was over the line and it was several people and they didn't want to come forward otherwise I would have mentioned their names.
So we were in the same building 2 months ago for 4 days and if the hooker comment had any real meaning to it you should have found me and beat my ass.I know if you said that about my wife I would at least confront you.
 
Nice Comments

Now on to a few comments you made that were public written on this very forum. Now everyone can see this public statement you made and also about Americans,gays and oral sex. Your no angel Mr.Barton. If this was a private message I would never have posted it but since it came from your very fingers on this very public site there is no problem for everyone to see.

I never ever ever ever said to replace Barton with Bartum ever ever ever.

Just in case you forgot Barton here is the comment you wrote to Chris Bartrum

I will back you against world pro in a round robin.


Ok breaking news you got action Barton.I will playChris Bartrum a round robin for 20k.I almost never play anybody unless they bet their own money but seeing how you have made this offer I ACCEPT YOUR OFFER.I am not interested in playing ANYONE ELSE but the game I have available for you or Bartrum.
Im sure you feel im a very big underdog against Chris and we all know he is a professional pool player that plays great for the big money along with many others also and I feel the game might be a little closer with me needing some weight however just to see that im a good sport and have some gamble unlike you since its your 20k being put up I will try my very best to play well and outrun the nuts and that's all I can do is give it my best shot and play dead even.
At least if I lose 10k would still stay in America and since you have no gamble or heart right now to accept my offer to play me then post up your 20k stake money and I will play Chris Bartrum the same round robin format.I would rather play on a diamond table is that's ok with Bartrum but we all can work it out if not.Also a referee to call all close hits and fouls and rack every rack if you all don't mind but doesn't have to be.

round robin format

1 pocket race to 30
9 ball race to 50
10 ball race to 40
14.1 race to 500
8 ball race to 20

for $20,000

Old Chinese proverb says if one finds himself in a hole he should stop digging.....

C'mon Man...

When I was a kid this old woman used to drive by the speed shop with her poodle in the car each day.... That poodle would bark and bark and bark at our pitbull Brutus who was chained up to a tractor trailer wheel and tire in the lot during working hours......

After weeks of the little old lady's dog yapping Brutus had had enough... As the car was rolling by with the poodle barking away Brutus took out like a shot towards the road... But that day something was different... Instead of the wheel and tire simply acting as an immovable object it flipped up on it's side and began to tumble along as Brutus sprinted towards the car......

I can still hear the sounds... The clanking of the chain on the pavement, The sound of the wheel and tire bouncing up the road and last but not least the huge BOOM!!! Brutus made when he broadsided the passenger door of that little honda.......

I think it cost $450 to fix the car door.... But you know that poodle never barked again on it's ride past the shop.........

Chris
 
I have to say something........this stuff is quite disturbing. I wished this could've been handled via PM. The whole pool community doesn't need to read this. And neither did I or anyone else, but its in the open for the whole world now and has been for some time.

I thought we were all on this forum to help each other. I don't know any of the parties involved in this conflict, but this needs to stop. It's not helping anyone.....including the posters. Put this behind you and move on. Make a positive influence on someone. Leave a legacy.

This is my first and last post on this topic and in this thread. I hope everyone has a great day. Reflect on what you are doing for, and to, other people.
 
Lastly, your offer to play. I already told you that you and I would not be playing, not only because I think you are way out of my league but also because I find you to be a hideous person in general.

Just this past February, JB opened a thread in which he apologized to a lot of AZB'ers here for his mean-spirited behavior over the years. It appears that JB's apology was insincere as he is still trying to harm peoples' reputations and businesses.

Here's part of what JB said:

I am not saying that I was right or wrong on any topic. But I have handled things very very badly in the past. I have met hate with hate, met verbal violence with more verbal aggression, taken personal slurs to heart and tried to dole out even nastier ones.

I came to the conclusion that whether I am right or not when I go-off on someone then no one cares who was right. The topic is then lost and it becomes only name calling and insults. And I have to say that when the adrenaline gets going then it's addictive to want to get in the best zingers.

But it's not productive. At all. Maybe entertaining on some level but ultimately sad and hurtful. Believe it or not I am a peaceful person and I don't hold grudges. A few years ago I tried to eliminate the word hate from my vocabulary and not even use it casually as in I hate red pool cues. It's time to do that again.

Unfortunately I spoiled a lot of it with the mean-spirited and nasty fights I have been in.

So for that I want to apologize.

------------------------------------------------------------

To the forum. I am sorry for subjecting you all to my tirades and rants when I felt I was only defending myself. I was often way out of line.

Joe Van Buren: I am sorry that I did not respond professionally to your comments. Where I have been out of line and met your insults with more personal attacks I am truly sorry for that.

Jack Justis: No matter what I think about how you slighted me I had no grounds to wage an all-out campaign against you. We make leather bags not nuclear missiles. Again, I am very sorry about my actions towards you.

Bobby Chamberlain: I apologize for going after you. You were only defending your friend and I wrapped you up in the general animosity I was feeling. I should have responded to your comments professionally and courteously.

John Barton​


Me thinks that the old JB is back again, as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

To the forum. I am sorry for subjecting you all to my tirades and rants when I felt I was only defending myself. I was often way out of line.

Joe Van Buren: I am sorry that I did not respond professionally to your comments. Where I have been out of line and met your insults with more personal attacks I am truly sorry for that.

Jack Justis: No matter what I think about how you slighted me I had no grounds to wage an all-out campaign against you. We make leather bags not nuclear missiles. Again, I am very sorry about my actions towards you.

Bobby Chamberlain: I apologize for going after you. You were only defending your friend and I wrapped you up in the general animosity I was feeling. I should have responded to your comments professionally and courteously.

Me thinks that the old JB is back again, as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I meant and mean every word I said. But I still am not immune the seemingly incessant attacks and outright lies.

I guess I can't understand Allen why you don't take a stand on the heinous personal insults slung my direction and the outright lies. As someone who has promoted himself to be a stickler for the rules of the forum you seem to be very selective about who those rules should apply to. You don't apply them to yourself and don't call out those who attack me when they indeed break the rules.

For example, your participation right now in this thread is another form of harassment yet you break the rules with impunity.

You are part of the reason more industry people and professional players don't like AZB. I happen to be one industry person who would like to be here and have normal quality discussions about pool and my products and other industry topics that I have some knowledge of. But what I get, partially my fault of course for not being "professional", is trolls and hecklers who disrupt normal conversation. And when I stand up for myself they come back even harder because they, like you, simply have nothing to lose by saying whatever it will take to put me on tilt.

Contrary to what you wrote, I sincerely doubt that you meant any of what you said. A person's actions should always speak louder than the words they say. You've said that you are in the business of building leather cases not nuclear missiles. Yet you've been engaging in a thermo-nuclear war against anyone who disagrees with you, as shown by the partial list below of other posters you've fought with over the years:


To the forum. I am sorry for subjecting you all to my tirades and rants when I felt I was only defending myself. I was often way out of line.

Monstermash (sorry don't know your name): I am sorry that I took personal offense at your actions and went on the offensive against you. You deserved a professional and courteous response to anything you said and did rather than a heated and emotional over the top one.

Snipershot: I have no idea what it is I that I did that made you threaten to kill me but I apologize for whatever I said to you that caused that reaction.

Craig Rittel: We have long resolved our differences but I still owe you a public apology for the level of argument that I took it to.

Michael Lalumiere: Although I unfortunately still harbor some major resentment against you I want to apologize for allowing myself to escalate our fights to unreasonable levels.

Eric Hu: I am sorry that I didn't just let your comments slide and took them personally. I should be tougher and not take your ribbing to heart.

Dave Wilson: Your job is tough and I apologize for making it tougher.​

As part of making your apology sincere, you need to take full responsibility for YOUR actions and stop trying to rationalize your behavior and blame others for your actions.

The next time you feel the urge to launch into another tirade and rant, try to take a deep breath and let it go.

I guess the saying it takes two to tango has no meaning to you. I take responsibility for my side. You do not admit to or take ANY responsibilty for your instigation and harassment.
