A question to John Barton

Eric. said:
Were you born with a defect or are you doing this on purpose?

There is a world of difference between "throwing a ball at/near someone" and "tossing/lobbing a ball back onto the table". Did you read my earlier post?

Yes, I read it. Understood it completely and had no issues with what you said. It was pretty clear.

As for my response with the graphic, I was making a joke because the ball bounce thing was no big deal according to what you said. It was a funny graphic. Nothing more.

Born with a defect? Since you want to get so serious, I am not the jackass getting into girl fights in a pool hall now am I?

But judging from your response to me I think I am seeing the bigger picture now. Thanks. :)


As I said in my first post, I am not into the drama, I was just curious what happened since obviously a ball bounced off the table and JB caught it. Now I know what happened. As for the rest of the drama, I don't watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians and I don't need to know anything more here. :wink:

So I'll just say hasta la vista Sparky and move along. :)

And I'm not kidding.

I have to agree! After reading the posts and really seeing how convoluted the responses are, I'm JB is like not wasting my time!

Sorry to start this thread JB, I just found it interesting watching the Jen B and Dawn Fox match. I never would of watched if it wasn't for Dawn so I blame her;)

Humor, tone and ribbing dont always come across the Net well. This is my bad.

Thing is, you've stuck your 2 cents in several times, so you've had more than a passing interest. You love the drama despite what you say.

Listen, i misunderstood you and apologize. For that matter you're no bad ass, so i have no beef with you.

Context, Fred. The difference and clarification was that the ball was not thrown at him and more specifically, the ball toss was after the incident was over, not during or the cause of it. Even the term "ball thrown" will drive all kinds of conclusion jumping based on ppl seeing a limited video shot that dosent depict the whole situation. By saying "yes a ball was thrown" just validates all kinds of assumptions cuz "i saw part of something on video".

Eh, fvck it.

I get you. I tried to explain the context and was clear you didn't throw it at him and that you lobbed it on the table. Exactly what I wrote. I never said "yes a ball was thrown," because a ball wasn't thrown. You tossed it back. You lobbed it on the table (I said this days before you did). You didn't throw it. I'm on your side on this.

Maybe there's nothing I can write that shows that what I saw was exactly what you wrote. I'm sure everyone who reads what I wrote sees what happened. I'm not wrong here, I'm not the bad guy, and I'm on your side on what happened.

I just watched the vid again! If you think that was a toss,,, you are smoking some defective crack! If JB s nose was there it would a broke!

So far, I'm on JB s side! Seems like he was put in a bad position to play that night!

And yes, he could of cancelled it but he had the balls to play through!

This is the proverbial rocky road i was trying to avoid. In this thread, you have several ppl that are quick to make a conclusion off of a video that doesnt clearly depict the entire scene. So, with an occluded, partial view, that is enough for some to make a judgement and rnder their opinion. Does it matter that several ppl that saw thngs in person flat out told you a different version than what you seem to think you saw?

Here's the last comment from me. I admitted that i was in a cnfrntation with JB. I admitted i wanted to do some hurt on him. If i did throw a ball at him with intent to f him up, why in gawds name would i deny that??

Eh. The truth is always the least interesting version.

John and Eric have had a feud for years so the confrontation was to be expected.


Koop, that's just CM being an ass after I reported him to the mods on the Aiming Forum yesterday for stalking me for the last few years. As I said in my original trip report, and have repeated numerous times, to include in this thread:

#####
About an hour before the match, there is a kerfuffle in the main room across from where I’m standing with Dustin and Mike. John starts woofing at Eric. I want to clarify: Eric was not part of my crew. I know Eric going back to the days of RSB and when I saw him at Sandcastle I went up to greet him. That’s it.

Even Charles Manson knows the "TRUTH" about himself! He "KNOWS" he's innocent! Why? Because HE says so!

There are 3 sides to every story. In this case, I've only heard one, yours!

A ball was thrown at him! It may not have been a fast ball but it was thrown!

I'm sorry, but I've always found people who "throw" objects that can hurt people seems to be a bunch of,,,,, I'll stop myself right there, I'm sure the mods will ban me again if I speak my mind. I'm sure you know where I was going!

Sorry, I just tend to stay away from people like that for obvious reasons!

It's a good thing you posted! Seeing that YOU are judge and jury I guess it's safe to say that this case is closed!

The video must be dismissed because it DOESN'T show anything, like a ball being thrown at JB!

I'm sorry for being mistaken on what I "thought" I saw!

In all my years of playing pool, I have never seen a ball jump out of return.

Careful beiberlvr, this thread has become one of those in which whatever Lou or Eric say we all must treat it as gospel!

So if Lou says it fell out, it did! Stop questioning anything that doesn't make sense in this thread because everyone knows Eric didn't throw a ball at JB and Lou said the ball fell out of the return!

Eli

P.S. I was hoping to get JB input but he must either be too busy or just doesn't want to waste his time with this. Either way JB you got my respect, I hope your too busy making those awesome cases($$$)!

Hope all is well.

Sometimes 2 different personalities just don't get along. It's a shame when they both enjoy a similar sport or pastime .. but that's just life. While the video is entertaining(?) Either way - it's something that happened a couple years ago - I don't see the benefit of 3rd parties rehashing such an old disagreement here and now. IJS

There's a difference between throwing a ball at someone and flipping or tossing or lobbing a ball onto a table.

That's why there are different words.

Lou Figueroa
can't believe I
have to explain that

On some tables balls sometimes come out of the return. If you haven't had it happen you haven't been around.
