$200 for a billiard university diploma!!

Elroy,

Take a deep breath and count to 10

It is remarkable that you (and English) are the only ones who feel this way.

I am sorry that you just don't get it. But from past interactions with you it is par for the course.

Unfortunately there is no law against being obtuse.

Here's the psychology of what you're trying to do. You're calling your site "billiard university." The message you're giving out to intelligent people is that this is tongue in cheek. You're fully aware, however, that there is a segment out there without enough critical thinking ability to perceive the tongue in cheek aspect and who actually think they are obtaining a degree from a legitimate billiard university. You charge these people $200 for a so - called diploma.

You then give out the test for free. It's a wonderful test. People benefit from it. You know that if you give something to people that they enjoy and benefit from, they are far less likely to look at the operation critically and see what you're really doing

I think I said pretty much the same thing in my first post. I have absolutely nothing to apologize for as to my assertions. I only regretted my harshness in expressing them. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. I was told that you were a good guy. I know I'm guilty of being thoughtless from time to time. I regretted the fact that I didn't simply point out to you your thoughtlessness instead of being so harsh.

I'll assume the other folks involved in billiard university are good folks who were just not thinking when they entered into this. I'll assume because they're good folks, when they think about it, they'll see the error of their ways and rectify it. I'll have to admit; I've made a few errors in my life that when I've been made aware of, had to rectify. That's why I regret being so harsh. At the same time I'm in no way going to apologize for my assertions

as for you Dr. Dave...you're a shyster and a fraud!

Neil,

It's ok he will probably spend that two hours slobbering over some pics of partially nude women over on NPR like a horney teenager.

Maybe he could persuade Elroy to join him.

Can you see the openings you created here for multiple replies if I were a grudge holding hateful person looking to fuel such a trolling post?

Sorry, I'll just turn the other cheek.

You do whatever you want to do to make you feel good but perhaps you should consider how you portray yourself to so many potential students that just read AZB.

As always, you think you can read minds & then relay what you have read from someone's mind for all to see & then put words into others mouths all to create your distortions of the truth.

I'll leave it to the general readership to make their own determinations.

You are not worth one more minute of my time & I would suggest that you are also not worth one moment of anyone's time that does not know you personally.

I've wasted way too much time in the past playing your games.

I won't any longer.

Maybe you and Elroy can go see that counselor together and get a group rate.

English will go to any length to stir the pot and start an argument. Then he throws out the victim card. No idea why he hasn't been banned again.
 
Trolling post, I say truthful your posting record speaks for itself.

You should be more concerned with how you portray yourself here and not worry about me.

As far as your innuendo that is the second time you have tried that crap.

If you want to say that instructors are deceiving their students then you should be prepared for the replies.

In other words he who lives in a glass house.....

Consider this your warning.

Personal attacks will earn a ban.

There you go again trying to put words in my mouth that I never said.

Sorry, not taking the camouflaged bait either.

There are two factions on AZB. Those that make money from the industry in some way, which is fine, & those that don't.

Those that don't make money from the industry are perhaps potential clients or customers.

I was just trying to give you a marketing tip. I was in advertising for a couple of years.

But, as I said, you do what ever you want to make yourself feel good.

Oh you think you get a pass for prefacing it with might or maybe, or ending it with just my opinion I could be wrong?

Please. We see through your game, too bad you haven't changed from your first ban.

Don't you feel conflicted quoting the bible all the time while pursuing your diversions on NPR?

I hope all of the vitriol and petty personal attacks are over now, from both "sides" of the "debate."

I hope this thread has exposed the BU to some AZB'ers who haven't tried the BU playing-ability exams yet. If that is the case, please try them out and consider posting scores (and videos if possible) on the AZB BU thread. It would interesting to see how a wide range of AZB users rate. It would also be interesting to see how high of a score is possible from a top player.

Thanks,
Dave

Again...I'm not taking your trolling bait.

Here's my other cheek...AGAIN.

Do what you want with it.

Am I missing something here. Folks can take the test for free, it is only if they "prefer" to pay money to obtain a "degree"... but there is no need to..

If someone wants a record of their accomplishment, and want to pay for it, how are "they being dishonest by selling something with full disclosure to folks that have the money.... and... wait for it........ are NOT complaining about the product they are receiving...


dude, put down the pipe.... or stop typing one-handed,,, you can hurt yourself....

If anything, I think Mr. Elroy should pay me for providing him with so much. It seems to me that he really enjoys and thrives on negativity and criticism, and I have given him so much to go after. Haven't I provided him with a service in a way? I think an appropriate fee would be $200, what do you think?

Catch you later,
Dave

I think you should take the higher road this time.


$175 seems fair.

Didn't you hear? I'm "a shyster and a fraud!" Sorry, but I won't accept a penny less that $200 for the dutiful service I have provided to the incomparable Mr. Elroy.

"The Forum is the Teacher" when it comes to people and personalities.

Dave
