Wait a minute.

I can't believe we fell for it guys!

His name is Rick..... And we think "How can this guy really be this clueless?"...... Kinda like this just has to be a cruel joke.....

The answer was right in front of our eyes.














We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
 
Geez, what is this? Another baw thread. No baw threads on Tuesday. It's in the rules. So you wanna know why? Here's why: "Because one of us can never be as cruel as all of us". Welcome to the internet. Now start talking about pool or take this crap downstairs where we really know how to show you a good time. :grin-devilish:

I say we bring them out of the closet. No, not that closet damn it, the other closet. The closet where the meanies are kept. I'll go first.

What ever happened to old Charley, anyway? :smile:

Yeah,

That is what several on here that I respect have recently told me.

I'm starting to get it.

But it's sort of like turning the asylum over to those that are committed.

But if that is what AZB management wants. So be it.

I guess it is all about the numbers & not about 'right or wrong'.

Thanks for the advice & Best Wishes,
Rick

You're officially going on ignore because I think that you're a bad person whose sole goal in life is to make everybody look bad so that you can call yourself good. Nearly every single line above is an indirect slight at somebody. You're wrong about life - maybe you'll wise up in another 47 years.

No matter how many people tell him, including Wilson this morning, he refuses to see that he is the problem. :confused:

To wit:

Here's the thing.

I keep getting complaints. I'm less concerned about your efforts to get around me than I am with the attitude that you think you can.

At what point is someone just not worth the effort? If a person can't seem to go a whole day without generating enough bad energy that fellow posters are flooding my inbox.....where is the line?

And....when I do reach the point that I've had enough, I usually take the other combatant down with the main offender just because they lack enough sense to not be involved in the first place.

Do I need to demonstrate my example?

The thing is, casualties will occur, so "suicide by mod / I'm going to take others down with me" isn't far-fetched.

Its the killer instinct

Why are there so many mean spirited people on AZB?

You got to have the killer instinct to be successful at pool, and to some people that comes off as being mean, because you can't let the other guy up when he's down or he might just beat you. You can't let up, not one little bit, or you might end up being the loser. What do pool players call 2nd place? 1st loser.

Which reminds me of an experience I had at the Derby a couple of years ago. I am a big fan of watching the pro pool players play and always try to get a good seat in the bleachers at the tv table which is usually right next to the isle. There was an older guy, obviously a player, who was trying to explain to an older, well dressed couple what was going on in the game on the tv table, and they were standing next to where I was sitting. I saw and heard the woman turn to the guy explaining the action and say, and I quote " This is the meanest group of people I have ever been around. " I will never forget that. It also explains why the wife of the pool player who asked why she never wanted to go to the pool room with him said " Why would I want to spend time in a room full of men, with Texas sized egos, that are trying to dominate each other. " How we appear to others is something that we should think about if we want to grow the sport of pool and billiards IMO.
