R U Serious???????
I see "wishfull thinking" and/or sarcastic banter directed your way but NOTHING that resembles a threat. Life as a paranoid hermit is, IMO, uncalled for.
Your primary antagonist is many things, none of which is a tush hog.
A pretty bright guy once said "you have nothing to fear but fear itself."
GET OVER IT!!

Well, DCP... Hopefully you'll be a little more creative when you come back.

I think Wilson did the guy a big favor. He can use the time to reflect and perhaps re-evaluate how he operates in life. I suspect he exhibits similar behaviors in his life away from the computer. It's probably not much fun to be around him. And even less fun to be him!
well, just a word to the wise...
if you get time off and re-list under a new alias, the ban becomes permanent.
then, under no circumstance will they be welcomed back.

Great Post!
Jay,
A great post just because I think every word of it is spot on. Just as an aside, I think if you changed the name from "DCP" to "Earl" every word would still be true. As badly as he annoys some, try to imagine for a moment what it is like to wake up in his skin every day. A six month break from competitive pool might be good for him. Give some lessons and exhibitions, connect back to the public in positive ways or even just take off and get his house in order.

Wellllll, you know me. I am all about poking the village idiot with a stick...

Hu...If you recall, I was the first one to suggest that giving lessons would not only help Earl's psyche, but also enhance his potential 'comeback' at the the pool table...and it did. He won the Carolina Open, which wasn't even his discipline, and had plenty of other big name players competing. Sadly it did not carry over to subsequent major events. I still will not count Earl out, in the long run.

I hope you are right
Scott,
I very much hope you are right about not counting Earl out. Earl still has many years of great pool in him if he can get his head in alignment with his heart and skills.

Bad things happen to people who intentionally irritate others for no reason.. Case in point:
In AIT, (post boot camp training on your specific job, for those who don't know) a drill sergeant was in charge of a company of soldiers who had two different job titles. One of the jobs was Cable Dawgs, i.e. soldiers who just ran cables from one place to another, climbed up poles, etc.. It was only 6 weeks of training. The other was Automated Tactical Switch Maintainer/Operator. This course was 7 months long.
This drill Sergeant treated everyone "almost" like they were still in boot camp. Making them roll around in the sand, doing push ups for minor things, calling formation on weekends for all-day barracks cleaning sessions, exercising the whole company (smoking them) for hours at a time, for the infraction of one person. There was more freedom than in boot camp, but not much more when he was on duty.
This is all well and good if you have to only get through 6 weeks of it, but for those of us in the 7 month course, this was all getting a bit old. We went to the CO and told him we perfectly understood the need to instill further discipline in the troops after basic training, but thought that seven months of such discipline was counter-productive, and leading to a decrease in morale in those who had the longer training cycle.
CO told us to "suck it up and drive on". A week later, the drill sergeant's very small car mysteriously got removed from its parking spot, turned sideways, and inserted between two parked cars that noone seemed to know who they belonged to.
After that, soldiers were divided into two different companies, one for long training cycles, with more laid back drill sergeants, and one for short cycles, with more..."intense" drill sergeants.
I'm not encouraging anyone to stalk DCP at that WPBA event, I'm just saying.. "Bad things happen to irritating people sometimes.." Just a friendly warning to DCP, so he can watch his back.. Heh heh..
Hey, if he wants to totally cut himself off from the billiard community, then so be it. He just virtually insures that he will never be able to introduce himself as his screen name at any gathering, for fear of...repercussions. Seems kind of sad to me.
I've had disagreements with a few on the forums. Have made up with some of them... Some, I haven't, because they don't wish to. Overall, I think I'd have a pretty good time at any meeting of AZ'ers.. I don't know if the same would be true of DCP, unless he chose to keep that persona hidden.

Good ol' 369th Signal
When were you at Ft Gordon?
By the time I got there we had " phases" .. after a month or so to "detox" from BCT youearned your phase 5 privies...civil clothes and free run as long as you made formations.... though there was still a fair amount of "barracks parties" (cleaning) and company formations....

I'm kinda hoping somebody punches you or slashes your tires... that way you will have some time away from the pool table to take care of your face or the tires and we may hear a little less of your negative attitude and blown run outs.
How the hell does this guy still have Positive Rep?

I Can't Even Figure Out The TV Show "LOST" in the Long Run
You know, people tell me that daily. They say, "you got your money into the pot with best hand and the person that won the hand only had ONE card they could win with.... you were a 99% favorite to win..... it'll be OK, because you will win in the long run."
Suppose you die of old age before you reach 'the long run' ? What/when exactly IS 'the long run' ?

FWIW, he's quoting what was said to DCP, not what DCP said.
On that note, why doesn't everyone just leave the guy alone and ignore him if you don't like him?
Not that it matters, but where there was once some respect, I am quickly losing some respect for those that should be grown up enough to know better.
