That was classic.....did he stay on the full 8 seconds?
Mr. Wilson always has balls in hand.
Some forums have a "trash talk" section. Maybe closed and belligerent threads should be moved to Trash Talk.
let the band play there
Mods threatened to ban me for respectfully seeking a truth with one of the "clans" on here....they play to favorites
Warnings are given for a reason. If you opt to go against the instructions, it is at your will.
damn, you're a kill-joy, Dave!
or is that a dare...?
:ignore: (i self-imposed a ban last night to keep you off my ass. that was LAST night.):grin:
Did some of his posts get deleted......or is this the one he got banned for?
He said on facebook he was banned for something he said about Jim Pierce although I don't know the thread or if it was deleted.
It must have been deleted. I assume it was a proper ban instead of an improper one.
Here it is....
His cues play fantastic, I have never knocked his ability to make a cue just his credibility when it comes to keeping his word. He has a nice following of people he has done right by and a following who have been on the other end. I'm OK being banned if you want to kick someone off for politely seeking a truth. I don't trust those who swear their allegiance and won't entertain the full story. Kicking me off will make AZ look bad, not me.
Wilson gave him warning before the comment and then obliged him with a ban after he made it.

I guess treading to the bed without an internet connection is the safest place these days. Good night and God speed.
I don't know, this seemed fairly straight forward. He was warned then basically dared the mod to ban him. Sometimes you get what you ask for.
I've played on your tables. My opinion is if you played pool at a higher level, maybe you would understand where they need help.
I'm not going to be one of the people that is going to cry and throw fits for weeks over it, but IMO that wasn't deserving of a ban, at all. Not even close. The guy was respectful, and didn't have an agenda. He wanted a cue from Pierce but wanted to make sure past issues had been resolved before he could place his trust. Completely understandable IMO. Once he found out the past issues had not been resolved, he decided one of Pierce's cues weren't for him and was done posting about it.
As a prospective customer I think you have a right to inquire if past issues have been taken care of before becoming a customer yourself, because you want to know that you will be taken care of if things go sideways. I think that is pretty reasonable and not deserving of a warning. I also don't think the very short statement he made after being warned rose to the level of being "towards Pierce" (which is what he was warned for), nor to the level of being antagonistic toward the moderator. Just my opinion, and maybe there are facts I am unaware of. On the flip side, his last post probably wasn't necessary and he probably knew he was taking a risk with it as well and it probably wasn't the wisest choice in the world.
But as I have stated in the past, even though I don't always agree with him (and who is always going to agree anyway?) and sometimes even very strongly disagree, like in this case, I do appreciate Mr Wilson being willing to do the moderation job, particularly considering his pay (he does it to help out, no payment).

Allen,
Best I recall quoting banned members or posting for them is cause for being banned. You might want to consider an edit.
An edit of my own: Looks like the post that caused the ban was left up so probably no harm in the quote. Not the brightest thing to challenge a moderator. It rarely works out well!

You should be more upset that CJ is using the name of the Four Horsemen and can't come up with an original name--- that was already deemed for me, you, fatboy and billyraychips --- show em Disco.
