AzB's Dumbing Down

My way isn't perfection, it's just a way to play a game called pool

CJ's huge thread, of a̶d̶v̶e̶r̶t̶i̶s̶e̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ preaching that his way is the best way, is bad.

Since CJ claims there is no money to be made, I feel even better calling him a preacher. Just as the crazies that parade the street corners, CJ is on here preaching that his way is perfection.

I can rest easy knowing he is not a salesman, he's just another wacko.

This is not a big deal, and it's a far cry from "preaching," it doesn't matter to me who chooses to experiment with new styles, systems and techniques. I just believe it's a great option to have for those that truly love the game.

I am simply sharing information and knowledge that was giving to me by players like Wade Crane, JR Weldon, Dalton Leong, 'Omaha John', Strong Arm John, Doug Smith, Rusty Brandimeire, "Bugs", Tony Fargo, Vernon Elliot, Buddy Hall, Mike Sigel, Earl Strickland, Johnny Archer, Mike Lebron, Jimmy Reid, Rodney Morris, "Country Calvin," Reid Pierce, "Surfer Rod" and many more gamblers and tournament players that I've picked up things from.

It's actually harmless to those that critisize and helpful to those that want to learn.

I also give ALL the credit to the GAME for everything I've learned in life. Without the game I'd never have been free to achieve my goals and see my dreams unfold in life.

I reread it and thought it was lame. But since you insist:
General 1: Mr. President we have called this briefing, because the situation on Azbilliards is getting out of hand! As you know CJ Wileys ego is now nearing critical mass, and the intellect of Patrick Johnson is also cause for concern. He has aquired all available pool knowledge and he can cut and paste faster than an underaged Malaysian textile worker! Our fear is that they will combine forces and enslave all of mankind!

President: What are we doing about the problem?
General 2: Our man Figueroa is keeping an eye on the situation, but he's gone rogue and can no longer be trusted!

President: What about the English asset?
General 1: As you know MI 6 sent us their best agent. Allegedly he's the most sarcastic man in the UK, codename the Thaiger.
General 2: How bad could he...
General3: He single handedly chased Gordon Ramsey out of Britain! The Mi 6 guys escorting him to the airport killed themselves and he made 3 supermodels cry on the flight over!
General1:Sadly he can't even put a dent in Wileys ego. The insults and sarcastic remarks are sliding off, like vomit off a latex gimp suit!

President: What about local assets?
General 1: As you know we deployed the SJD. He's used sarcasm, cute dog pictures and saucy pictures of waitresses, to no avail! Plus he put all the local strippers into premature retirement due to unsightly fingermarks on strategic places. The compensations alone are bankrupting us! NASA is still working on his bar tab!

President: Could we slow down Mr. Johnsons intellect by appealing to his humility or maybe his desire to belong to the community?

General 1: We believee that he is an Engineer! They have neither!
President: What about sarcasm?
General1: He's might be an E N G I N E E R! They invented it! It's their primary defense mechanism.

President: Gentlemen, the situation is hopeless! Go to option Omega! I'll go first!

General1: Wait! We made a mistake! It turns out we have no idea what PJ does for a living! Damned botched intel, yet again! The only thing we do know is that he's not an engineer! As long as he's not an architect, we might make it after all!

the answer is simple you need to have more forums and specific ones. then the mods move threads that dont fit in to that forum. and delete or move posts that are just trolls or argumentative.
and of course ban or time out those that just start trouble.

Ten or twelve years ago a lot more "average" people were now on the internet and forums, but most of the biggest idiots were still not on yet,...

They were still trying to figure out which end of the power cord to plug in to the computer... took 'em a few years to get it right.

Great post! I laughed hard.
 
He's not an engineer, he works for Engine Ear - Honest Mistake!!!

This is great stuff. Makes me feel patriotic... in a dumbed down sort of way.

hahah he does do a good job of quoting Dr. Dave who is an engineer, professor and PHD...

PJ may quote or link to Dr Dave at times because Dr Dave has done such a wonderful job of documenting and illustrating many, many scientific facts of pool and putting it all in one place. To be fair PJ has been contributing the same kind of scientific factual information like he does now for years on one forum or another before Dr Dave was ever even around.

Boy, Dr., do you need an eye exam !..Who is the person, who "PERVADES" almost every thread, with HIS views on every subject know to man ?..The sheer number of his posts, make him impossible to ignore ! :sorry:

PS..I see Mr. Rose had another 'original' thought, in post #9..he said "LOL"..(he must be out of gorilla pictures ?) :p

LOl, CJ is a former NUMBER ONE Player in the world. Sure he has stuff to sell but also offers a lot of free advice.

You on the other hand are a jealous man who can't stand to see ANYONE get ANY credit for knowing ANYTHING about the game of pool. And you have been told this a thousand times, yet you NEVER change your tune.

Yes ... Perfect candidates for Cameo Appearances on the next episode of The Hustlers. SJD (the backer) would replace that loudmouth bald f**k, and JohnnyT would be the (Joe Pesci) "heavy" who throws the Irishman into the street.
PJ would be the mildly retarded rack boy / janitor.

Hell Yeah ........ I'd watch every damned episode.

Haha, I would imagine Pesci would be a great choice to play Johnnyt!! Can't wait for the movie!

An inability to determine opinion from fact is at the root of this whole thread.. AZ has not dumbed down.... People are listening to others besides PJ and it's killing him.. Not enough to where he will try any of the techniques and maybe learn something.. Just to the point he will squawk louder and call everyone who doesn't see it his way dumb....

When he was banned I missed some of his posts but he hit the ground running boy and is pretty much right back where he was when they banned him.. It's hard to shout people down on a forum regardless of how many you bring along chanting the same drivel......

Pool is played on a table, Not in a vacuum... The science is not settled on anywhere near all of the topics... An engineer or a scientist knows that all it takes is just one different experiment or additional variable to change what we think so they keep their minds open and they generally don't belittle other theories.. Today's facts were yesterday only theories so what does that say for tomorrow??

Excellent observations sir.. It is very easy to have a thread go on forever..Simply add another meaningless subject, and bump it up every day ! Also, you have to love controversy..Anyone who cannot see, that CJ loves confusion, and is completely oblivious to criticism..just can't read ! :rolleyes:

I agree, it is not primarily a profit motivated thing with him..It is just that he has to prove he is 'right' about every subject he gets involved in ! (which is EVERY subject) He is always critical of me, for not offering any 'tips' on bettering one's golf or one pocket game..This is usually right before, or after he calls me a "C playing shortstop"! :cool:

I know for a fact, there is NO way to verbalize, anything about 'wrists, aiming, stroke' etc., or anything pool related !.. It is very difficult to explain, even right over a pool table. with a willing student !..
..CJ has not caught onto that yet, so he continues to bludgeon us do death, with his opinionated garble, on everything from A to Z. (Apple's to Zen) :boring2: :boring2: :boring2:

Sheer boredom, and my love to aggravate a 'know it all, braggart', are the only reason I pull his chain
so often..I truly enjoy it ! (as I sense many of you do) :wink:

PS..I must apologize to his diehard fan's, who think he is a treasure trove of often confusing, usually misspelled, but valuable information !....(I also feel sorry for you) ;)
