Few? Make no mistake, here or not, he's loving this cheap publicity.
Publicity + victimhood = one happy Barton.

As much as I hate to agree with the poster I quote here, he is spot on in this observation in the post I quoted. JB is one of those that believe there is no such thing as bad publicity and revels in these threads that pop up every time he pops off and gets banned. JB doesn't care what is said about him good or bad, as long as he is the topic of conversation then he is happy.

Almost like pool hall drama
Unless there was some egregious behavior by Lou that I'm not aware of, it does seem harsh to me that he was banned simply for forwarding a banned member's comment.
A warning would have made more sense for that kind of offense, imo.
I realized just last night that John is also on the outside looking in again, himself. Must have been to do with something in the J Flowers thread, I'm guessing?
I know I'll be staying on the straight and narrow. :smile:

From what I see John asks for everything he gets most of Lou's comments come after Johns posts ,,

Ha!
With your warped sense of humor you have about as much chance as I do of staying on the straight and narrow.
I'm straight but I definitely ain't narrow!

There you go..... Making sense again.
And, BTW, Lou should have been banned back at RSB, where it was impossible to get banned.
Not true...
No one has taken the most temporary bans award away from PJ yet... He's on a long ban now, but he'll be back again...

Honestly, I think everyone on here needs to get a little thicker skin. People are going to try to get under your skin, for whatever reason. Maybe they have nothing else to do, or maybe they want to stir up controversy.
1. Some folks have a very terse writing style that comes across wrong, and is not representative of the person in real life. (Yes, some people *do* write differently from the way they'd speak to you face to face -- it also might not be intentional that this disparity exists.)
2. Some folks are *so* passionate of what they do, that they let their passion bleed over into their forum interaction. Yet, that person's attention to detail in quality of his products, etc., is something that many of us respect.
Do both of those instances sound familiar?

Good Post, well said !
I certainly hope so.
But then, I was thinking that visiting Coco Cowboy would be pretty far off the Bucket List anyway.
I always wanted to drive thru Arizona. But I would wave in the general direction of Coco and say, "Hi Coco, Bye Coco".
some in this thread wondered about why I was willing to bet $10g's on John in a rematch with Lou - there were a few reasons.
First and foremost, gambling is exilharating. It can be hard for guys who typically need everything locked up plus a red bow on it to appreciate a real risk and my betting JB would have certainly been that.
However, I saw something in John's game toward the end of day 1 that made me feel if he could have settled down and played a little more conservatively and with better focus, it would have considerably bettered his chances to win.
And the luxury of a backer can sometimes settle a player down, as well.
Also, I certainly would have taken a pass at team Lou to see if they cared to adjust the game given Lou's convincing win. You never know, maybe they would have liked to gamble on it, too. Either way, I asked Lou and I would have gone.
2 last things: John is a friend and sometimes we extend a little more for friends, right? I do.
And lastly, I'm no fan of Lou's backer, Mike. What a pain in the ass this guy was during his time here on az. I had some run-ins with him myself, not to do with JB, btw. He's just an unpleasant pot-stirring kind of guy. So there was that little added incentive for me.
Very smart strategy by Team Lou to bring Mike the Backer to the match given his and JB's history. That was sure to get in John's psychology, at least as much as Erics being there.
JB's a big boy and these were his problems to deal with and to try to overcome. Please don't misunderstand, I know John can dish it out with the best of them.
I thought my being there to support John and make the offer might have been a leveler of sorts.
I like when both sides have a fair chance.
gambling.

I cant say I understand, but I respect your decisions. If these guys ever play again, I obviously won't be using Johns pseudo betting window again. I hope you wouldn't hold it against me if I contacted you for something on the side.
Any idea when the ban ends?
That's true, but once you find out there are no mods and you still stay....you do so at your own risk. They were mean for sure at RSB, arrogant too. But I have to admit, I learned a lot over there. The experience only inspired me to learn more about the game.
I believe the ban was for 2 years, and I feel like it's been about that long.
I did just find this thread started by him last week over at onepocket.org

Thanks for pointing out the thread on OnePocket.org.
I checked, and Patrick's most recent post here was 1/20/2013. So if it was a 2-year ban, and if he decides to return, we still have at least 5 more months without him.:frown:
