Let's keep this in mind. A friend sent me this text alerting me to the thread Lou started. Since I didn't delete anything I investigated it. And I decided to make my own thread in response. If my friend hadn't notified me I wouldn't know or care. But he did so I do and feel that the record should reflect my thoughts on it.

No mania. Just a restatement of the facts and a reminder that I am ready to go again for 3x the original bet. All posted in advance.

And a generous dose of my opinions about this bully's "character" as well. It is important that we don't forget why this relationship exists as it does. 3x he promised to be cool and 3x he reneged. A man of honor would have kept his word the first time.

Go look at the first part I made after the match. I have honor and integrity. He doesn't.

Once again, I didn't start a thread about this. Lou did. I started a thread to discuss what Lou said/insinuated.

Seems like the obsession is with me given that you are voluntarily participating in this thread.

I mean what part of don't open something you don't want to see is difficult to understand?

I like to have a record of the conversation in public. I like to say what I want to say clearly. As clearly as I can within the rules that is.

Why that's a problem for you is unclear but it is your problem and not mine. I use the public message board to communicate what I want to. You are not forced to interact in any way as far as I know. If you are being forced then I hope you find a way to extract yourself from that situation.

As the warrior poets said:

Don't start none, won't be none.

Lou doesn't know how to use YouTube and stirred this all up again, now trying to turn it around as someone is obsessed. Lou is acting like a bratty teenager. The icing on the cake is bragging about his investments. Such a winner.

I'm living off 20 years of honorable military service that included four years of holding the launch keys to ten Minute Man ICBMs and some investments that turned out very, very sweet ;-)

Military pensions are nice plus you get Medical Care for life.

Doing enough time in Military is tough life, most of my friend who did 20 years were constantly being moved. Most of time was not to great locations.

Navy guy spent month on end at sea, or under the sea in metal tube with no view. Submariners had tough life.

Being obsessed is a lot like being guthooked. There are only two choices; 1. you die with the hook stuck in your belly, or 2. you try to shit the hook out.

And, mischaracterizing an activity is a sign of low intelligence or deliberate maliciousness.

Making sure that the public record is straight is not obsessive. It is due diligence.
And, marketing. That's what the knockers don't get. See the logo below? See the user name? That's advertising.

Every time you all make a post that I respond to I get another link for Google to gobble up. You're very good at helping me to

C'mon, guys, its been a long time, and it is Christmas. Both of you could prove to be the bigger man and bury this #&()! once and for all.

I would be happy to bury the animosity. I put my hand out several times and did just that. Every time he reneged and continued the lies and bs.

I offered to pay for him to meet with Stan in hopes that an in person day working out on the table would help him understand what Stan teaches.

I have done so much trying to make peace that I don't what more I can do.

What I won't do though is to ignore the lies and bs and allow him to continue bullying unchallenged.

Why don’t you two just admit how much you love each other?

All this time wasted bickering when you both really want to be best friends.

The perfect scotch doubles team, happily ever after.

Yeah, no. At one time I thought it was just a disagreement between two otherwise good people. Now I know that he is simply an arrogant dishonorable bully.

Tried that. Bottom line is that I am not putting myself out there again.

But if Lou wants to make a public promise never to mention me again and stop bullying those who talk about aiming systems connected to Hal Houle or Stan Shuffet then I will make a promise to not talk about him or to him in any negative way.

And I expect the community to hold him to it if he breaks that promise.

I put those videos up and have never deleted them. I could have used them in a thousand ways to be super negative towards him and I never did without provocation.

I am a decent person with a big heart and all I ever wanted was for people to fall in love with pool the way I love it. I can't stand knockers who bully those dedicated to helping others become better players. I don't expect him to apologize to all the others he has harassed over the years but I expect that if he says he will stop that he actually stops.

None of us ever let his name pass our lips without him instigating it. So if he moves on to different targets then I will be fine with never burdening you all with this dialog between us again.
 
John, the reality is that nobody even remotely gives a shit about what you say or do. To act otherwise suggests the you may suffer from delusions of grandeur and an overinflated sense of self worth.

Truth is, you're kinda like a trainwreck. It's just basic human nature to want to look. You know, to be able to see the blood and guts spewed all over the railroad tracks, and be silently grateful that it didn't happen to them. You're in the carnival and you're the bearded lady. People want to ogle you and be titillated by your weirdness, but they hope you never come to their home.

You're not a folk hero. People don't admire you, John. They laugh at you and snigger at you behind your back and bait you into chasing the next bright and shiny object, as does the largemouth bass.

That said, we all love you to a fashion and we hope and pray that you find peace and health.

The truth is that I don't give a shit what you think.

You're here only because you gave enough of a shit to come into this thread and knock me. Haters are fans.

I am a minor celebrity in pool, yippee! And you are a super nobody. Yeah people like you love to hate on celebrities of all levels. Of course you have to look and of course you have to comment because I am larger than your life.

People like you follow people like me not the other way around. And your nonsense about being a sideshow act is just another form of hating. You're unable to look at any of this objectively. You have chosen a side and decided to pile on where you can because doing so is free. Costs you nothing to be a troll but gives you intense pleasure to do so.

The first troll I ever encountered on a pool forum, burtnjall, was just like you, a person sitting at home trying to get a rise out of his targets and getting a chubby every time he did get a response.

You think you're somehow above me as a human but the fact is that you're driven by dopamine hits like everyone else. That's why you're here for the "trainwreck". Only you're not an equal opportunity troll because you know full well that Lou would eviscerate you if you dared to cross him.

Better to be a bully's lackey than to be a target of that bully right?

Someone who really doesn't give a shit isn't here. Remember to clean up afterwards.
