CJ is the Man! Just ask him!

It was "common knowledge" that the world was flat at one time in history. "Common Knowledge" changes every 20 years or so.....back in the 80s the scientists were worried about "Global Cooling".....they probably will again by 2020. Pool should be no different.

CJ,

I think I was editing & adding when you posted this.

Please take another look at post #135.

Thanks,
Rick
 
I was only kidding you about the birthday greetings. :grin-square:

If I may respectfully suggest that I think you may be misreading, misinterpreting, or not understanding fully what could have prevented C.J. from replying to you.

I am reminded of something that happened to me with another forum member, which is a wee bit similar in a way. :frown:

There was a female member of AzBilliards who was a regular poster here, like me. One year, Keith and I went to the Super Billiards Expo. We had not been together for a long time, but we were a couple, I guess you could say. :wink:

There was something going on at the Pro Arena at the SBE that prevented Keith from getting inside. It was like you had three checkpoints to show your ID before they would let you through. Meanwhile, they were calling Keith's name on the loud speaker that his match was up. We couldn't get to the doorway to the pro arena because of this hold-up with the ID and passes that were required. It was a TOTAL NIGHTMARE, speaking as a spectator, but it was worse for the player. We always get to a venue early, so Keith can practice, but with the lack of parking and then these three checkpoints, it took about 45 minutes to go through. :mad:

So this female AzB-er comes up to me to chat. It was the first opportunity we had to meet in person. She walked up to me, smiling, and began a conversation, and I just cut her off and said, "I have to go. I'm sorry."

Well, this female AzB-er never forgot it and gave me pure hell about it on and off the forum forever more, stating I was a snob to diss her in this manner. I wasn't trying to diss her, but there were other things going on that prevented me from talking to her.

Believe me, I'm probably one of the most friendliest peopel you'd ever want to me, and I can talk up a storm. :grin-square:

Anyway, that's my story for you to consider. This women misinterpreted me not wanting to interact with her and held it against me forever, and to this day, I'm sure she still thinks I'm a snob. :embarrassed2:

You got it Jam!

hey English...

Normally with my new found enlightenment I would not respond to you at all because you are not worth one minute of my time. You are only worth the few seconds that it takes to relay that I am ignoring you & probably not even that much

There is so much untruthfulness in your post that it would take me an hour or more to correct. That seems to be all that you can do now is create distortions through untruthfulness hoping that someone will read it & believe it, which some might. But others can certainly see the truth & what you really are.

It is amazing how Mr. Lee makes a post directed at me & then everyone comes from out of the woodwork.

I've learned my lesson & I'm not playing that 'gang' game of divide & conquer any more.

I'm sorry to hear about your COPD. Perhaps the smoke got n your eyes when you were reading the other thread as your portrayal is totally incorrect. But as I said distortions seems to be your favorite tactic if not now your only tactic.

I am sincerely sorry to hear about your COPD & your wife's surgery. I'll pray for the both of you & your whole family.

I'm done. Say what you want no matter how untruthful. You're back on ignore.

WOW - you are some piece of work...

do you think anybody takes you seriously?

here is what i said to you on an earlier post:

i find faults here with folks from time to time, and lord knows many have found faults of mine here and they were usually right on many counts. sometimes i lashed back but in time i realized they were almost always right in one way or another.

that did not mean i gave into the "Asylum" as the "Word You Chose", as i said they were right, not me. and actually i am the better for all i learned from your so called "Asylum".

i am sure you "Respect" those that are in Agreement with your general persuasion and thoughts. but i suggest you try reading into the thoughts of those that may not think as you do.

if i was given the task of sublimating a thought directly into your brain it would be the words on the building of the Oracle of Delphi: "Know Thyself".

that is first and foremost. and maybe one day you will find that to be true.

pls do not respond to me, i do not want to get into your game of words/attitude. i will not respond. this is just for your edification and maybe food for thought.

Good Luck!

all the best,
smokey

i can only speak for myself and for me; i wish you would 'go away' or learn, without that...
who needs you here?

yes, this is a forum, a place to gather for us who love pool, billiards, snooker, etc. but a place for friendship whether in [friendly] agreement or as [friendly] adversary, but "friendship".
a trait you do not possess.

Neil: imho let it go. you are playing into English's game of words/attitude.
it serves no purpose - Period.

English,don't talk big - show big.
if you want a 10 dime game i can arrange it. bring cash on the wire...
not with me a 'D' player but a sub for me.
let me know with either a Yes or No - Period.
as i said: put up or whatever...

all the best,
smokey
 
mabye cj, just MAYBE...

you had good folks to help your trip to be more successful.

just a question CJ - did you ever FU anything?

is it possible that in this world you made a premature judgement and it was wrong?

all the best,
smokey

I'm not sure what this is all about, we're only coming in town for 2 days at the most so there's no time for lessons and interviews etc. We're ONLY interviewing Earl's ex wife and doing some promotional pictures with Earl if he comes.

As far as these other things, I'm not sure what you're even referring to, here's the last PM I got from you and no, I didn't respond or call you, but I didn't understand what the point was.....something to do with Brooke Shields painting you have or something.....:confused:

You be the judge, here's the last PM I received in my inbox:


Wink Re: help?!?! are yáll up? POOL promotion! - 08-27-2013, 11:32 AM

CJ
this is burning a hole in my pocket!
and we're running out of time....
and i really want to help.
Matt's like: how is this PR for pool?

i don't know, you can spin it 50 different ways. but in sales, you find a way to bond. Johnny having this info would ENDEAR him to BROOKE....

Matt talked to Johnny last night & we know the shot he's going to do. and it involves her. so everything, is about BROOKE. - which is the Title of Nagel's pic. it's one of his top 5, ever. "Brooke".

JA: HEY BROOKE, YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED IN 20 YRS! LOOK FAMILIAR? (WHIPS OUT HIS PHONE W/ JPG)
and/or
IF YOU MAKE THIS SHOT, THEN YOU WIN THIS PIC (WHIPS OUT HIS PHONE)....

....and FatBoy's gonna have to BUY it off of me @ top-dollar.


 
This thread is like an AzBilliards World War III. There are personal vendettas and politics going on here, aside from the original intent of the thread between Matt and C.J. :eek:

To add insult to injury, there's even a recently banned member posting in this thread under their, yet again, new forum identity. If you're banned and come back to AzBilliards with a brand-new identity, at least attack somebody new and create a different writing style, to include word usage. I can smell a banned member posting in their first or second post. :o

First, there are a few pool peeps who do not like C.J. because of his stance on aiming and flamboyant style. Some pool peeps believe C.J.'s theories and strategies are wrong, and because of his ability to rise to the top so quickly after a long hiatus in pool, people are noticing C.J.; whereas, some others who have been in the pool world remain the same in popularity as far as their products and what they have to offer. That's number one.

Number two, Matt feels slighted that C.J. did not take the time to reply to him for his very kind offer. I just learned in this thread that Pink Lady must be Matt's girlfriend. She's jumping in the fray to support her man by verifying the veracity of what Matt wrote. I totally get the "Stand By Your Man" strategy on a forum. :D

So Matt and Pink Lady verify they did indeed contact C.J. with a very kind offer. That's how most people are down South. You don't see this kind of activity in other regions of the country as much as you do in Beautiful Dixie.

C.J.'s life is busier than most, to include numerous communications, both written, oral, and in person, as he's involved in several different pool projects simultaneously. Of course, he feels bad that he missed Matt's PMs. However, when confronted with it in the manner he was, which included numerous verbal kamakazis from the AzBilliards peanut gallery, he proceeded to provide his proof. He did acknowledge, however, that he may have overlooked or missed the PM to Matt.

Matt, you're a good man. We all know that. C.J., ignore the trolls, banned member posting, and jealous pool peeps and go on with what you're doing. I am reminded of a pool tournament I ran as the TD. I handed out the rules beforehand at the players meeting, but some of the competitors didn't like the rules and complained to me throughout the duration of the tournament. IOW, you can't please everybody, even when you do try to put your best foot forward.

Now, this AzBilliards civil war thing going on with English!, et al., shouldn't even be in this thread, but, hey, that's life at the AzBilliards ranch these days. Love it or leave it.

JAM <---leaves periodically for a sanity check :smilewinkgrin:

Smokey,

Go take a look at ALL of Neil's posts TO me & note in each thread that it is he that initiates the vial contact.

I have said nothing out of line to you. Why do you feel the need to attack me. To defend your 'friend' Neil.

He has a vendetta against me because I will not change my opinion to conform with his 'beliefs'. So many chime in without knowing all of the facts regarding why the bullies are trying to bully.

Why throw a $10,000 challenge at me to play an unknown player of your choice when I'm 60 years old, with a bad back, laid up at the moment & with an astigmatism in my shooting eye? What would that prove regarding any subject matter of any discussion here.

Does that make you feel all mocho.

Let me do the same to Neil & I choose CJ.

I could say more, but I think that is enough on that subject.

Now... are you another one way street guy. Do you too only want to throw crap & expect nothing to come back your way.

Go check out the lambasting that Neil gave 'Elroy' a while back when he dared to agree with me. I was a bit surprised that 'Elroy' had the gumption to post again given his nature. I'm proud of him for not allowing himself to be brow beaten down.

There are many on AZB that are mostly silent & do not post much if at all. In fact I am rather sure & would venture to say that most of AZB are part of the silent majority. And it is certainly understandable why. Because if you are not in one of the posting clicks with a shared interest or opinion, just look what you'll get. How long do you think AZB would survive if it consisted of only the regular posters?

For every one of my nemesis that post against me I have pages of green rep & only 4 reds, 1 each from Scott Lee, One of his students, Rufus a SPF instructor & Bob Jewett. Do you see a pattern on those 4 red reps. I have also received PMs by many that have said that the vial bullying is exactly why they don't post more or at all, or words to that effect as did some of the green reps. One not so frequent poster just came to my defense in Gene's champion thread because he 'real eyesed' that the facts were being distorted by taking my words out of context from the 'picture' at hand. Eyes are starting to open & their 'mouths' as well.

I may be the water in somes' oil, but there is much more water underneath the surface like 'Elroy' & the guy that came to my defense. They are just simmering beneath the surface until they boil over & spill out.

Best Wishes,
Rick

PS Believe it or not, I have taken your & others' advice & have been trying to implement it, but it is extremely difficult for me to sit silent when distortions & untruths are written about me... or others. I also do not take insults well & quite honestly I don't think that I should. That would only encourage such bad behavior.

11 friggin' pages in two days! Unreal!!

That's what can happen when anyone 'attacks' anyone, right or wrong.

CJ is well liked by many & many of the ones that I know that do like him did not even show up here.

But Neil did & his distortions regarding me from another thread set off a whole other fire.

So...it's 11 pages with over 6,500 views. Is that not what AZB is really about. Viewing?

And I doubt that it's over, but hopefully it can turn toward a useful topic involving CJ.

What about that hip 'secret'?

Nevermind...Rick's double posting the same stuff.... GG thread.
 
The amount of batshit crazy in this thread has to have set a new bar.

Well played.
 
Nevermind...Rick's double posting the same stuff.... GG thread.

I fixed it as best that I could before I saw your post.

Was a double Quote & a Dig really necessary for a Glitch?

But thanks for using my name. Does that mean that you're now my new best friend?

I know, I know, not an ice cubes chance in Hell.

Have a Good Day,
Rick
