AzBilliards Age Poll: Please vote for the over or under!

It already is. My actual participation has dropped considerably over the last several years due to this. There are few "discussions", mostly arguments. And, that's not even considering the NPR section

I agree. There is way too much bashing of others and not enough goood conversation, and that is why I don't participate much.

JAM, I'm sure both you and Keith realize this, but not "everybody" thinks its you making Keiths posts here.

I'm also quite sure you both know that old saying that says 10% of the people involved cause 90% of the problems, or some such. Yes, there are some genuine stuff-stirrers here, and they can be relentless. But those of us who really appreciate both of you contributing here are far greater in number. We're here, we're reading, and we're appreciative.

When the trolls come out from under their bridge, it makes folks like me want to leap into the fray, in an effort to try and help. Unfortunately, it not only doesn't help, it only encourages the trolls further. I'm not leaving you hung out alone, just trying not to derail things further, delighting the trolls. I'm quite certain there are many who feel the same way.

Please know that there are many, many folks that enjoy both of you posting here, and please try to not let the trolls drive you away. Then they gain the satisfaction of "winning", while the rest of us lose. Please extend this to Keith as well. He is a genuine legend, and we're fortunate that he comes on here at all...

Thank you, my friend from Maine! I appreciate the good words.

It is because of forum members like you that AzBilliards is a good place to learn about pool-related news, smut, and have fun.

Because of you, there will always be those who keep coming back, thank goodness!

I'll get Keith to post up a thank-you post later with a photo with him holding today's newspaper or something that has today's date to show that it is him posting. This is not proof for you, but for the naysayers who don't believe Keith is capable of posting on this forum.
