Totally agree with the first two, have no knowledge of the third. I know nothing about Charlie Williams, can somebody point me in the direction of getting some information on this guy and why he's so bad for our sport? I'm a bit new to all of this but this guy sounds like a real lowlife

He's similar to Don King, but on a smaller level...and not as loud on the outside. Basically, he'll sell his own people out to put an extra dollar in his greedy little pocket. That help a little?
Grow up and show some respect, Mr. Mathews a Legend.

Glendale hit it on the head :bash:
I don't know Grady, from the last couple days, I think he is better on the table than off. Legend or not! IMO.
My head is in my hands...........Grady, there are more of us on your side than not. Please forget about the 14.1 thing - you already know it's pure politics and nothing else. No matter what the issue is though you have to remember that this IS a public forum where any one can bark and they don't have to back it up.
The truth is that we are truly powerless to help you. Dragon Promotions could care less what we think and has proven it by not engaging in conversations with us while at the same time relentlessly spamming the forum with ill-thought out so-called "press releases" and tournament flyers.
We can't withhold our attendance or money to influence them - they don't depend on the gate. The tournament is theirs at the moment until someone comes along and offers the WPA a better deal. That's the only way it's going to happen.
And even if that does happen there is no guarantee that a spot will be there for you. Why? It's because there is simply no ranking system for 14.1 players in North America due to the state of pool here. So someone would have to figure out who gets to play and how it will get done. That someone is quite likely not going to be figuring on giving the spots to the veterans unless they happen to be able to and have a deep appreciation for the history of the game.
As for the people on here my friend, they are going to be viscious. Now I asked for people to be respectful of luminaries such as yourself but if you choose to mix it up then be prepared because these guys play the keyboard as well as you have ever played pool and they have nothing to lose. Their reputation isn't on the light, yours is.
I implore you as a friend and fan to forget about Dragon Promotions and Charlie Williams. Most of us agree that they make quite questionable choices when they promote an event to put it mildly. But we have little to no influence on what they do.
As a friend and fan my advice is to not use this forum as a soapbox. We agree that the state of pool sucks - it's fractured and broken for the most part in America. However there are still a lot of good people trying to do good things in pool.
You have a lot to offer us as well as books and DVDs to sell. Please consider just hanging out with us and discussing pool. I guarantee you that this will translate into more sales, more lessons, more exhibitions, and a better life than attending events run by people you don't like who don't want you there to their detriment.
This is my plea to you as a friend and fan and student.
Sincerely,
John Barton

Hey there Grady:
I agree with this statement and beleive you have more to offer to pool with your knowledge and expertise. Keep up the good work and forget about the jerks.

Can't rep you any more. Gotta "Spread it". I don't even like to use that phrase.
Are you on level ground? I thought the same thing once until I moved into a house with a mirror infront of the toilet.
I had bladder problem in that house, I had to pee all the time
All I want to know is: did you vote for Obama? Then I will decide if you are my friend or not. Tongue-in-cheek.
Maybe ill red raid'm too- What does FML mean?
I left them negative rep also. The lack of respect gives one an idea on the age range of this person. A lot of us on here are old enough to look back and wonder how on earth the last 20+ yrs went by in the blink of an eye. This young "man" (brat) will one day look in the mirror and see an old man. He's going to realize that no one can stop time and aging is a cycle of life. At this point all he can do is hope that there are a few less ignorant, disrespectful brats in the world when he gets old.

I didn't know what it meant either. I guess we're "too old" to know.
How can you leave someone negative rep for a post you yourself admitted you don tunderstand?
Rg
ps, I didn't either, btw.....
The part that was written and understandable warranted negative rep. Whatever this kid meant by the initials certainly couldn't be anything positive since it followed something so rude and ignorant.
