Throwing opponent's chalk on the floor

You and the commentator are both wrong, it rolled off the edge. Unreal nitpicking. Should he have left it there to crush when he leaned over?
Well being a Pat's fan certainly explains your rationale for calling this "throwing chalk" and implying that Mitch Ellerman is un-gentlemanly.
Are you serious right now?? I'm genuinely asking you, 9Ballr, are you serious?
What is going on here these days, where a guy calls out a pretty well liked and respected player on the premise of watching a clip of him move TWO cubes of chalk getting into a p-s-r, and having one accidentally fall to the ground.
How gentlemanly of you :bow-down::bow-down:
It's chalk, guy. Let it go......
He's up in the teaser! Feed it to him while I get a goggle eye!!
Even if he threw it on the floor, who the fug cares. Guys in baseball throw a round hard object at your head, hurling in at up to 100mph, on purpose. And yes, that will sting, not to mention, break some bones in the face. Heck, some guys careers cut short from getting hit in the eye socket.
But, throwing some chalk on the floor is upsetting to some. When did pool get so soft ? I though they were the "grinders", the back alley dudes, the hustlers, the guys who stay up all night and play all day, the ones who bark and throw their money on the table, will sometimes even get into a scruff or two, and who will take a cue stick to the head and like it
What the hell happened
They better not throw my Magic Chalk on the ground! Otherwise they're getting thrown on the ground!!

But you can't even drive straight.
In my experience, some guys are more persnickety about their opponent’s chalk being left on the table than others. 3C players and Europeans in particular. I recall one incident involving an amateur 3C player (who shall remain nameless) who courteously handed his opponent’s chalk back to him... the first time it was left on the table.
Also the second time.
The third time, he approached the table and accomplished a high speed sweep of the rail with his cue, sending the offending cube rocketing into a wall where it exploded with a loud crack.
His opponent found himself a new chalk and religiously retrieved it after each of his innings from there on out.

When a player leaves the table and his chalk is not in his back pocket but left on the table I would always put it in my back pocket and next time he got to the table he would be scratching his head looking for it. Sometimes I might end up with a dozen chalks in my back pocket before the idiot caught on.....lol

Point I was making, if someone brings that 30 chalk to my home, to play on my, 1943 Brunswick snooker table, with 760, I will not not let them play. That chalk is greasy and is really hard to get off the cloth.
I do not go into pool balls and knock chalk off the pool tables, I don't give a shot what other people do to their tables, just what they do to my home table

*shrugs* - I didn't think it was all that big of a deal. Oh well. Of course I used to leave chalk on the table for other players as a courtesy - seeing the pissy hissy-fits being tossed about though - I'll try to not do that anymore so you ladies aren't offended and troubled to have to move that great big huge piece of chalk an inch or two.
Come on.
Can't we leave you guys alone for just a few minuets?
Put a lid on the machismo

Apologies
I'm sorry Mr. Wilson. I was trying to be funny in my first post on this thread, mainly because it was obviously an accident that the chalk was bumped from the rail to the floor. I didn't mean to upset anyone.

I would say that the guys doing minuets are probably not worried about their machismo.:grin:
