How do I unregister?

I am NOT AT ALL sorry for the consequences to SlickRick_POC!! (Boy, did you misread that! lol) I'm sorry that I disparaged AZB. The guy had lots of posts, had a bad attitude toward others, violating the civility portion of the rules, yet he went on without consequence. But now that I see that they now do care about civility, I'm apologizing to AZB; definitely NOT to RickDick_POS!
Yes, I sure did say a lot worse! It was in response to an UNPROVOKED attack. I guess I'm kinda like water: Touch me in an accommodating way, and I'm very accommodating in return; a hard hit is met with resistance. I never initiate an attack.
I didn't start a thread "about the whole thing." I was asking how to unregister. Others picked up on the reason. I wanted out because, as many posts as Rick had, and seeing other abrasive comments, I assumed that was the norm here, and I wanted no part of it. Now that he's been called out for it by AZB, maybe this will turn out to be a more pleasant place to visit.
I did not mean to start this epic drama, and I don't like that it turned out that way. I had a mix-up with a (something in a punch bowl), and thinking this type of stuff would be common, I wanted out. Will I stick around? I'm somewhere between maybe and probably.
SlickRick_POC was banned for incivility. I don't know why Hawaii was banned. I didn't think he was all that bad. Maybe I missed something.
BTW:
RickDick_POS's ban is not permanent. I know nothing about Hawaii's ban.
Got it - personal drama is the key here.
Personal drama started it, but the key is about the atmosphere of the forum.
Thank you! Maybe you actually understood the question!
In the way most of the responders misinterpreted the question, it certainly would have been a VERY stupid question, though. The way in which it was misinterpreted may have been partially my fault. The title was an abbreviated form of the question. The title left out "the skill of", but a more careful reading of the question should have clarified that.
thats some funny stuff :thumbup:
Slick Rick was banned for comments made to Mr. Dogg. I don't know how to find banned members other than seeing "banned" by their name.

Yeah. Comments similar to this one: "Don’t play pool for a living after posting that question. You will starve to death", but slightly harsher.
Follow the groupies.
JC really quit?
I like JC, but lmao.
In any forum or real life group, there will be arguments, drama, etc. Its just life.
But if you like pool, I don't see the reason to leave this forum. What will you join instead? A Facebook pool group? They are even worse as far as saying you are an idiot for asking or saying xyz. People using their real names who you never met will have no problem telling you off.
Comment on YouTube videos instead? If you read through YouTube pool video comments, you won't be able to make ball in hand following their direction. The knowledge there is horrible.

That quitting video was brilliant.
I've thought about this for a long time now. When I see how certain members interact, I wonder how they can have relationships and a marriage. Some people will not give an inch. They will not compromise, apologize, change their view, accept another's view, or ever admit they are wrong even when it's painfully obvious. They choose not to resolve conflict. They carry intense grudges. They will insult, harass and tease other members relentlessly. How do they get along in the world, in a marriage?
I'm relatively active on quite a few other forums. There are certainly some guys that just like to make people feel bad, but of forums where I'm at all active, this is probably the least welcoming. Car forums can be rough too, for some reason everyone seems to hate everyone else that just bought the same car as them, I cant quite explain it.
It's fine with it I guess. I can still wade through the trollish answers to find some really helpful stuff. The general attitude does certainly keep me from posting more casual stuff, as you usually catch some shit for that. Sometimes I just want to riff about pool, ya know?
I normally lurk, but because I'm so pissed off lately I decided to let loose in the NPR forum (never visit there, just don't). Its been therapeutic to yell at people here rather than in real life. So there's that?
