When the posting comes from a persons personal account, I take that as coming from them. Yes, there are some crazy things associated with facebook and all social media, as well as the internet in general. But the basic premise and usage of facebook, personal postings, remains pretty reasonable.

Nick Varner doesn't go posting lots of things on his timeline. When you see a posting, its pretty safe that its him.

We can believe that posting is him as much as we can believe that the person posting here on AZB is you. None of us can see you posting it. Are you really you, here on AZB? I think you are, and I believe that Nick Varner is actually him, and him posting those thoughts, on the eeeeeeevil Facebook.


You should be honored, not many go back n forth with ol dan for long before getting the ignore hammer
 
The question was asked before but never answered....

For those who insist that John Schmidt couldn't have run 626, what do they think..

a. Have Mark Wilson and Nick Varner been fooled, or
b. Are they both part of a conspiracy?
 
The other question that's been asked and not answered ....

Are the posts from Danny Harriman and xradarx really from Danny Harriman, or is it some 12-year old who's just pretending to be him?
 
Today I was asked how long it would take someone to run 600 balls.

I asked if he was talking about the JS run and he said yes. He said he saw on FB about the Durbin showing and wanted to know if he was playing the whole run. I said I wasn't 100% sure but doubted that since it had been described as more of a TED Talk type thing with some schmoozing afterwards.

And this guy, who is an accomplished pool player of many years said, "Well, you'd want to see the whole run right?"

I laughed and said, "Yup."

And the guy said, "Otherwise, how do you know he really did it?!"

DOUBTED IT.

Those who have seen it know your DOUBT about the whole vid is inaccurate and unfounded.

And now you have charles 'danny' Harriman's cheer of agreement. That should tell you something...which is not good.

So again, whether a person or robot has a personal account is futile. This is a simple yes or no question as I was not referencing all social media i.e. (twitter, youtube, the silk road, azBilliards). I will ask a very simple question - yet once again justadub as U never answered the first one truthfully, do you think Facebook is a trusted or reliable news source?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Do you think everything on Facebook is either a lie or is everything on Facebook the truth?

I'll ask you again:
what proof of 626 improprieties do you have?

None of us has insisted that j.s. could not accomplish a run of that numerical value, we are only asking to see unedited proof - that after two years - has not been available? Not calling Nick and Mark fibber's here either, only noting that they both seem to have business interests surrounding the claim and the general public is not being allowed to see this great accomplishment 'wow what a hidden secret'. I see Mark likes to play poker over at ameristar - he is probly well funded and I am sure he plays poker well. The first Predator cues were made with Falcon butts, last time I checked Nick and Falcon were a bit joined at the hip. Funny thing about trying to sweep history under the rug, it leaves a ugly bump in the rug this allows little rodents to crawl under and hide. Honest people will eventually trip over the protruding object - the rug will tear as well - where the rug once really tied the room together - before the trash (fake news) was swept under. It has created an ugly bump in the rug, really just an ugly scene for all who try and cover it up. Oh and eventually the rodents get squished - then u have another mess.

Wiggle, wiggle. Your words in this thread speak for themselves, irrespective of what fake news/ yellowish journalism bs you try to put forth.

I don't believe that Facebook is a "news source", per se. All it does is repeat what others post, or link to other sources outside of its footprint. So I don't even consider whether its a trusted source of news. You have decide if you trust where that information came from, where it was linked or shared from, when considering trustworthiness.

In so far as personal pages go, you have to have a real reason to mistrust whether posts on that persons page aren't legit. I post things to mine occasionally. That is how many folks, perhaps most folks, use Facebook. Yes, there are people who seem to revel in sharing every imaginable conspiracy theory and junk posts, and share from very unreliable sources. But the average user, its "what did I have for lunch today", or "man, I'm frustrated at work" or any of a thousand personal thoughts and feelings. Regular people, regular Facebook pages, nothing nefarious there. And the only reason we could associate "news" in this instance is Nick pointing out that he went to that event, which, to the pool world, qualifies as "news" but to the world at large, that's simply a guy sharing what he did last weekend with his friends.

So tell me this...do you believe someone has hijacked Nick Varner's personal Facebook page? And to what end? There are virtually no postings there, just the occasional update on where he is going to appear, or commenting on a clinic he participated in. Why would someone go to the effort to hijack his page and not do anything with it? Simply to further this John Schmidt conspiracy? I don't think so.
 
Yea I think they said 30% was sped up - at their weirdo 'semi public private theater showings'. Also a bit telling how ghost refuses to answer your question about what you were supposedly making up
You just answered it. Bob said it wasn't sped up, Lou made a vague reference to it being so just to drop a hint of conspiracy in the waters. As to why I didn't reply ... you could have looked and seen this is the first time I've logged in since. I have an actual life outside of your meth-fueled delusions that keeps me occupied.
 
What a solid source for reliable/verifiable journalism - facebook - nothing up the sleeve there. Hah ha I was wondering when fakebook would slither into the thread. Do you think facebook is a trusted and or reliable source for news?
Well, considering I do business with Nick and he said so himself on a phone call. Oh, I know, someone called me from Nick's phone (his number is added to my cell) so when he places orders I know who is calling me. But, sure, someone stole his phone, called me up, and placed the exact same order, for the exact same amount he always orders, and then we bull shitted for a few minutes about mutual interests. And very few folks on the planet could impersonate Nick, his voice is instantly recognizable. Even you know that Danny.

lol, having you on the other side of the issue makes me feel pretty good actually.

er, Bob said about 180 balls of the run were played at 2x.

I have to say that if I'm ever charged with murder I'm going to ensure my attorney doesn't let some of you on the jury because some of you are a bit quick to judge (while others just don't know how to read).

So first off: can anyone tell me if what was shown was a TED Talk type highlight video, the whole run with editing and narration, or the original raw footage? Was any of it played at high speed?

Second, can anyone tell me how much attention everyone was paying to the video? IOWs, were people going to the bathroom, ordering drinks and food (I thought I saw that there was a two item minimum), eating their chili fries, wandering around and schmoozing, or was everyone sitting there watching every shot?

Last, is anyone here familiar with the works of Damon Runyon?

I can think of more but let's start there : -)

The short answer is undoubtedly going to be No. No one was going all Zapruder, doing a forensic analysis on the footage, I fully expect.

Still, I would expect that serious pool people like Mark Wilson and Nick Varner were quite likely paying attention during the showing. We already know that Bob Jewett was indeed watching intently, looking for indications of fouls, as he has stated.

I'm quite sure that John Schmidt, and most of the pool world isn't as worried about pleasing the few of you who expect, nay... DEMAND that they be able to play the video in their home. As if you have a right to it...heh heh.

Cuz its a big conspiracy to pull the wool over the pool worlds eyes. Might be, I suppose. I'll take the word of a respected pool journalist who did in fact watch the whole video. Everything else is internet foolishness.

Danny was speaking of the public showings, one of which Bob attended and said:

"There were basically three modes of playback. Some of it was with voice-over that had been added about a month after the run. The voices included John, Jerry, Doug Desmond (who provided major logistical support and racking during the attempts) and I think Lou Sardo.

During other portions the voice-over was turned off and Jerry and John discussed John's playing history, problems in the section of the run we were watching, and other pool-related stuff.

In the third mode the live narration continued but the video was played at 2X speed to save some time. This was roughly from ball 300 to ball 480. It was returned to normal speed before John passed his previous high run of 490 (on a break shot), the even 500, and numbers 526 and 527. We continued to the end at normal speed."
