Great way to welcome a new player to our dying sport. What a jerk.

what he said
sometimes i want to play in leagues just to crush knuckleheads, then i think about how the league players act and decide no thanks.
Wow, you guys are too much sometimes. Where was OP being a "jerk" or "dick" or an "elitist"? 
I read that OP didn't even call him on the foul and let him shoot anyway. He also warned him before he committed two other fouls before that. Was he a jerk because he drilled his nuts in when he got to the table?
The only person at fault here is the opposing team and their captain for not preparing their new obviously player before they put him in a match.
Lighten up, folks!

C'mon now, gentlemen....

There are plenty of people I see sign up for a weekly tournament I play in that have no idea about the rules. Watching someone who plays 8 ball with his friends using rules that were passed down from his uncle who played once in a bar in 1974 to playing with a bunch of B level players is interesting.
I've had people put the 1 not in front and then look at me like I was silly to suggest that it should be moved to where it belongs. Ball in hand anywhere and fouls are foreign terms, a foul is when the cueball goes in a pocket and that's it. I've once tried to explain playing a combination on the 9 using the lowest ball, first he lines up a shot right from cueball to the 9. I stop him "no you need to hit the lowest ball THEN that can hit the 9 in". So he goes to use the 2 ball as the cueball. Sigh....
