Our agreement with our game, is that if I let Pat use his protractor, slide rule, and theodolite during games, his spot goes down by one ball...:D

- Ghost

PS, And as an aside...in my 13 years here on azbilliards, I've never posted/voiced an opinion in any of the infamous aiming threads...but here and now I will state this: The one incontestably accurate aiming method is to utilize a theodolite before shooting...:D

A theodolite?

I disagree & we can argue about it for next 18 years or until I pass on whichever comes first.:wink:

I've only been playing one pocket for about 8 months. It's an interesting game, but one has to be careful that it does not paralyze one's stroke.

There should be a mandatory side table where one can shoot full stroke shots while the opponent is freezing you behind a ball.

Best Wishes for You & Yours,

I wish we could settle our disputes in more manly ways. This internet banter is somewhat unfulfilling compared to a good old sucker punch.

Trust me, if I were to ever meet Pat in person again, the last word in your post would be perfectly fine with me.

I think that's been done only once among participants here.

I think I agree with you.

We agreed on some things, but PJ's tooth pulling, word games, semantics games, denial regarding some matters along with an arrogant & condescending demeanor etc., that seemed to only be for his personal entertainment did not really provide any real help for those that are looking to find better ways to play better.

Perhaps AZB should throw a big live meet & greet so everyone can see each other in a real life setting & then the forums might be a more civil environment.

I for one do not miss him & I did not the last time he was not here for I think 2 years.

I know there are a few that would like to see me on a long or permanent vacation.

That's what happens when you takes stands on matters. You upset some of those on the other side of your stance.

But... just because we disagree does not mean that we have to get personal & start insulting the other side personally.

Like SmoothStroke recently said, we should remember that we all have the common bound of the game & some of us are passionate about it & matters concerning it. That is no reason to become uncivil in our discussions.

If I say that your grip is wrong for the stroke that you are using, you do not have to & should not take THAT as a personal affront. It is merely my take on that matter based on my experience.

I would only be trying to help. That said, some say things not so much to really help but to pump up their own egos by trying to impress.

Tone & tenure are important & are not easily transmitted through a text only format, but can be very easily misunderstood through a text only format.

Also, there are rather many games that some play on AZB as they use those for their entertainment & they have no concern for the other individuals.

We make Gumbo where I'm from, but we do not put in poison mushrooms that would certainly spoil & ruin an otherwise very good Gumbo.

We also purge craw fish before we make them a very good meal.

This forum would be a better place without you.

Please post less.

He went off on one of his "I'm smarter than anyone in the gawddamn world and all you AZBers are f----ing idiots (and in this particular case all Republicans and Americans in general too)" rants apparently because he despises Trump so much. NPR. He pissed off Mr. Wilson who warned him. Basically dared him to ban him and I'm guessing Mr. Wilson didn't like his bluff being called especially since he had a Royal Flush.
 
Really?

Really, well that in itself wasn't smart. that environment is not Democrat friendly at best. You can refer to Liberals as filthy and not get called on it, I imagine that wouldn't be allowed in referring to any other groups. I can see Pat not going along with the way things go down there but I do hate he had to get banned to prove his point.

I suppose the history of you playing him that you shared explains a lot. He comes on here afterward to kick the dog and vent his frustration! :grin-square:

J/K

Have fun you guys. :thumbup: Where are you playing, IBC?
 
He should have stayed on the main forum as God rather than venture into politics on NPR.

I'm just glad I don't have to read his pontificating BS. Although he will probably continue posting under the name of one of his imaginary acolyte admirers.

IMHO - he was found to be guilty of being Patrick Johnson:)

If you look at the last thread he initiated, he was warned of sailing too close to the wind
of obscene language use. To which he responded in his typically diplomatic manner,
and Mr Wilson cut his head off... permanently it would seem.

I would take ONE PJ over dozens that are allowed to pimp around here. Now of coarse I'm biased because I know the real man. Decent gentlemen and true lover of the game.

Seeing as I have played both Ghost and PJ that would be an interesting match.
 
So who doesnt?

Im beginning to wonder how much is too much from reading the NPR section there is a lot there that I would consider punishable verbage.
 
He has been banned but obviously his name and memory have been kept alive. I'm sure he sitting somewhere snickering.
