Ahh but I think the game has changed Joey. When you go to the all or a backyard picnic you have certain expectations about how things will go with regard to being civil.

On the internet the rules are changed yet again. I think that with an ide to sell or a living to make must consider the nature of the internet and its operation. So the “hard working” people who choose to come on here and “sell” their wares do so in the context of the net’s way of interacting.

While I agree that the crudeness on the net is one of its limitations but it must be taken for what it is. If it is too hot in the kitchen then perhaps these people should not be here.

I understand what you are saying Joe and you make a reasonable point. The Internet is a vast place. This Main Forum is not.

My point is this forum is that this is a very small group of people who see one another at tournaments all over the country, share a love for pool and all that it entails, "talk" on a regular basis in this forum. We don't have to act like this. There is no protocol on the Internet that I know of that encourages us to be callous or mean-spirited or even that we should tolerate such behavior.

Just because there are forums around the Internet and chat sessions that condone name-calling and some consider that sport or "fun", it doesn't mean that our forum should be that way.

Each of us has the choice to make this forum whatever we choose to by setting an example for others. We also don't have to sit back and let name-calling, cyber-bullying and personal vendettas to be tolerated in this forum either.

If we, in this forum, can't set a decent example for ourselves, we sure as hell should quit whining about pro players, how they live their lives and the state of affairs in pool, in general.

Now don't you have a senior citizen to go beat up? You probably have the most experience of any of us when it comes to online fighting leading to offline assaults.

For the noobs a little backstory. Our man Eric "The Senior Slugger" Hu carried on a long running online fight with an aging trick shot artist named Larry Grindiger/Gunninger on another message board. This fight pretty much destroyed that board. Larry was so "mean" to Eric that Eric found him at the Super Billiards Expo and assaulted him.

This was what I was referring to, hypocrite.

The very thing you were moaning to JoeW about wanting to do, is what you try to rail about me, for doing(even if you painted a tilted version of the real story).

I tried to help you with a link to the definition of hypocrite, I thought it would help. Guess not.

*edit- Barton-Huang must be in his manic phase again, it's 2am and he's still ranting


Eric >still finds John Barton entertaining

Are you truly this dense? Let me see if I can say it a little slower.

IF you or Larry had been able to physically impact each other through the net then it's highly unlikely that your fight would have escalated to the point where you assaulted him in real life.

The point is that IF it ever comes to pass that the result of you being an ass to someone online is that your computer is fried right after that then it's HIGHLY likely that you will DECIDE to just be civil instead of saying something that incites the other side into reaching out and physically harming you.

Got it now?

John Barton - Still finds Eric to be incredibly dense.

Well at least I am not a sucker-punching senior citizen-attacking loser. I guess I wasn't old enough for you to hit me when I told you that you are an ass in person:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qD4dfH-wMM

This was after you were explicitly told to not show up at my booth. Like I said, DENSE.

You didn't have the balls to call me "an ass". More like you replied that we're not playing 10 ball "cuz you're an azzhole to me" (as in I'm not nice to you).

But, typical, of Barton-huang, you need to spin EVERYTHING. It's all you have.

P.S.- take your meds and get some sleep...you've been up for 3 days straight, lol


Eric >loves that crazy Barton-Huang illegal Chinese immigrant
 
You've both seen time off the board in the past.

How much time off is required to get the message through to the pair of you that neither of your behavior is acceptable here?

Let me explain further; there will not be a winner here.
If one is banned for the behavior exhibeted, both be will be banned.

What is it going to take guys?
