Well, of course the analogy only goes so far, Roger. At a real party most of us would be pretty toasted, so maybe we either wouldn't care about the louts or we'd just take their asses outside for a good whompin'.

And what if the party is old, tired and winding down? What if everyone has congregated in the kitchen, leaving the stale ashtrays and flat beer to the dullards in the living room? Shouldn't the late-comers do something to liven the place up a bit?

I am one of the newbies you guys are posting about. I disagree to an extent with bmsclayton and this is why.
I have been lurking on this forum for a few years and think I have a feel for quite a few of the members. This is not to say that all newbies are like this, I'm sure some sign up and right away start bashing people and ideas.
The reason I haven't contributed much is simply due to experience and knowledge. I have been doing searches to further my own knowledge, but the majority of you for surpass me. My experience is limited and not getting much better. I have too many things going on right now to gain that experience, so I live vicariously through you guys. Thanks for letting me do that.
Anyway, thanks for letting me put my $.02 in.
Welcome to the forum, and thanks for contributing your thoughts.
Yes, prevent people from leaving, and instead sell tickets to the whompin' that's going on outside.

5 pages and still on point!
This may be a record for this week anyway.
It started to get a little off track, but came back nicely. And had a few new members come off the sidelines and throw in some feedback. I've seen very little trolls and honest, constructive thoughts on the subject.
Success!!

actually that is another issue on here. People judge others on how well they may play pool
The other issues I see are...
APA vs the world
League players vs non league players
Tourney players vs gamblers
gamblers vs non gamblers
and...........
Aiming systems vs no aiming systems!!!
That would be a pretty decent prize. As long as it comes with a box of crackers and a cheese knife.

Might be that we, relatively new and brand new members, have not enough experience in derailing threads
:grin-square: 
What a way to start my day.
I may be on a downward slide for you, but you aren't exactly on my bucket list of people I need to satisfy.
I come to this forum to discuss pool. If people take potshots at me, kind of like what you're doing now, I reply. I have contributed a great deal of pool content to this forum in the past 10 years, as well as contributed funds to pool-worthy causes in an effort to promote pool.
The climate on AzBilliards has changed. It isn't just me, though. It has changed for a lot of folks who have ceased posting. Believe it or not, I used to be one of the good guys, but today not so much, thanks to the recent campaign to post about "JAM" at every turn, at every post I make, all because I stated my disdain for an avatar of a scantily clad woman. For some, this recent Bash JAM Campaign is a game, a pastime during the day. As many posts as I've made, they have made just as many, if not more in my absence. If I don't post, I'm told I must be at a doctor's appointment. If I do post, every word is dissected and twisted to mean something else. If I defend the accusations made against me, if I dare to reply, kind of like I am now with this post, it is said that I am trying to play the "victim." If all else fails, then they go after Keith with mean-spirited comments.
Because I call somebody out for a first post condeming InsidePOOL's commentator, it is an opportunity to condemn me. In my 10 years of being a member here, I have never experienced hate as much as recently, but this time I am on the receiving end. Everything else I have tried to do in the past 10 years to effect a change for the better is forgotten. Of course, most of you weren't even members then, I guess.
AzBilliards used to make me feel good. I enjoyed it, but not so much anymore. And when something doesn't make me feel good anymore, well, it's time to move on. Life is just too short to subject one's self to hurt and/or anger. I have tears going down my face now as I write this, but that's what happens when you get old. You cry at the drop of a hat sometimes. :embarrassed2:
I have a new job that will prevent me from reading AzBilliards as much, so maybe that's a good thing for me and for you. Some of you have chased me down and pummeled me with your posts to let me know exactly what you think of me. In essence, you have literally stabbed my heart. I might be wounded today, but I will survive.
Of course, newbies should be encouraged to post. I never said they shouldn't, but I did point out that a brand-new poster joined yesterday for the sole purpose to bash InsidePOOL's commentary of a match. If it was a new member posting about any other pool-related topic under the sun, I would never have pointed it out. The fact that they join to only bash this match to me seemed suspect, and I stated it as such.
I only wish I had known beforehand about this recent turn of events before I paid for my gold membership. :grin-square:
Don't let people get you down......you know how this place can be. I strongly suspect I speak for a lot of folks when I say I enjoy your posts and that you're a valued member here. The experiences and first hand insights you share along with the many great pictures are priceless......and are more than what 99% of this forum contributes. So keep doing what you've been doing.....many of us truly appreciate it.
Like Ive said a hundred time before they should do anyway with post counts on forums. More of a reason for senior members to push weight or bully others. Oh and the whole celebrating post counts gets on my T+TS more then anything else. "WOW!!! You have 5000 post!!! Congrats on spending your entire life on here..."
Listen to me.... Complaining about others :lol::lol::lol:

Well said....Quantity of posts dont reflect Quality
Absolutely correct. I was totally amazed when this subject just came up and I looked at my count. I'm nearing 10K in 5 years.
Honestly, up to this point, I rarely look over to the left.
It actually scared me to think I'm creeping up on Coco Cowboy.
Wish they had a reset button available.

Me scared now. Funny that I find time to be in the shop.
Glad my wife is an addiction counselor.
If I wasn't heading out to the hall, I'd try and hit the 10 K tonight.
Anyone want to hear a few jokes, I have about 17 good ones.
Apparently I really like AZ, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
