About a week ago, Blud, you and a bunch of good people sent me messages of support and kindness. I was overwhelmed. You urged me to ignore the BS artists and haters. It gave me faith that there is more good in people than bad. Reading posts by people like Sarah Rousey and JMB showed me there was some light in this world. But what I really realized after all this conflict and contradiction was I was also adding to the BS and the hating. I began to realize that me posting and my posts were more important to me than it should. Where as no one would give me that much time to my opinions at work or at play. I was a big shot on the board. Hundreds if not thousands of people would read my words and I would cause a ripple in a pond. Perhaps this is why we see some posts. Because if you had said the same things at home you might get a "Uhuh Daddy can I watch tv now" or at the pool hall-"Yeah right are you ready to give up the seven and eight" or at work-"Uh excuse me Yoba Im looking for the mens room key right now". But here on the board we can tell the world "Hey listen to me! Im a champ. Im an expert! I am somebody!" and we can get some response. Now I am not accusing anyone but myself. So I realized hey I dont have anything really earth shaking to say or that important. I still cant run a 100 balls, make a ball on the break and get shape for the one all the time, or have a high run of 15 on the billiard table. I found that coming home and firstly hooking up to AZ forum and seeing what others were saying to me about my posts were just egotistical and frankly a waste of time. Now I dont discount being able to meet people on board and get their views about a sport you love and just to schmooze about pool but I was getting into some kind of trap of taking myself way to serious. It was taking time away from my game and my family. And after all its Blood, Blud, Blood thats important. Family and friends first. Fortunately I had gotten a personal call from Danny Diliberto and talked to Pat Fleming about the Derby. These two guys are the really the nicest pool pros I have ever had the privilege to talk with. Their humanity and professionalism just exudes from them as they truly love the game. They never boast about their accomplishments or ability but about what their hopes are for the game. They never put you down for your level and believe me I wish I had a tenth of their pool expertise. But coupled with the kind posts you all sent and with meeting these 2 great men I realized that all this is BS and I didnt want to be apart of this. Now as you know I am Asian and think that racist words or comments dont have any place on this board nor vulgarity and such. But I aint trying to change the world. If you want to use slurs or think I am being sensitive that is your perogative. This is no way directed to you Blud. I just hope that there would be more leadership in terms of the Board itself by the webmaster. So lets get on with talking about the game. I still have a few questions to ask and things to sort out about my game.
PS The only time I hear of Leonard Bludworth is when the Professor, the great Grady Mathews talked highly about your cues. Thats good enough for me.

If you can't learn how to play pool, then do learn how to make a paragraph. :o
 
is that the best you have to offer?

If you cant get a concept without a paragraph dont read.

Some people just can not accept any constructive advice with out copping an attitude. Your post is very boring, poorly written and very hard to read, pop an attitude on that one also.
 
Thanks for plowing through it. I will try to improve.

Now there's a nice attitude, add a couple of paragraphs and give us a break next time. More people will read your posts and not just skip over them.
 
Thanks for the advice. Perhaps because you have recently joined the forum you are not aware of what has been going on here in the past few months. There has been some very passionate discussions. I hope you would only read them and learn about some of the history of our discussions. It would really help you.

What does that have with your inability to comprehend 3rd grade grammer and to put in paragraphs. What would help you is to study the English language and learn how to write in it before you go running off amuck on English boards and forums.

It's grammar not grammer.
Questions end on question marks.
Jeesh, and you're attacking someone's English grammar?

Where is the attack trying to tell somebody to put in a paragraph, make a big deal out of that. Gees, you people. I am a damn pool player, not some English professor. I am too stupid to type anything long engough to require a paragraph. As long as I can bop out after the snap, I don't need no english lessons. :o
 
Hey Joe are you heading out to Hard Times for the tourney this weekend? I hear there will be a lot of top players. Thanks for the back up.

No disrespect to those that are complaining about his grammer or use of paragraphs (or lack there of), but he's entitled to voice his opinion and you are entitled to read it or skim over it. There is no Teaching Degree required to post here. I agree with him, read the posts from the past few months!

V/R,

Come on man

I don't care about your correct grammar, paragraphs, attitudes, or personal opinions about other people. I am not interested in whiners, complainers, or braggers. I don't care what Blud thinks about FL ,or FL thinks about Blud. I don't :cool: care about those who use this forum to promote their egos. I am getting tired of the long boring post about non pool related stuff. I care about the game, players, equipment, and improving my own as well as others skill. So please, enough of this BS. Let's get on with the game related posts. That is what the forum is about. I have enjoyed meeting some of you in person, kidding with some of you , and the occasional bantor. Maybe "Ask The Cuemaker" should have it's own section like some of the other threads. Maybe FL should write a book about how great he is. Blud should write a book about cuemaking. Everybody needs to learn how to agree to disagree. So lets stop fighting and get back to what it is all about.
Your friend, Don P.

AMEN to that!

I have been wanting to come in and post but afraid if I said anything I would be attacked as well. It just seemed everyone was at everyones throat. Its a very good post Don, perhaps some will see it as a wake up call and some attitudes will change. It just seems to me that about every 6 months or so you all have to do a full blood letting and a fight to the death over something. It's like watching the Jews and the Palastinians, they want peace, they need peace, but they can't find a way to stay with the peace.

Bill,

Don't be worried about posting here. An attack on this board should not effect your family, your job or even your personal safety. If it ever gets too heavy for you, turn your pc off and leave it off and that will be the end of it. I wish more people would post instead of just reading. I feel the same way Don feels, BTW, good post Purdman!! I like to read different views experiences about this game. Most the people I've met in the poolrooms love to hear stories about the game from different regions, especially about the different matchups around the country. So jump in here Bill and share your stories, your opinions or whatever else you have to share.
 
Thanks Don,

I think that if you go back to my yes rambling stream of conscious type post you will find I tried to say the same thing you did. Only you said it much better. I also wanted to thank some of the good people who came to back me up when I felt I was being attacked by a poster. I agree with you a 100%.

Now I noticed you are in the Washington area and always wanted to attend the Fast Eddies tournaments. Its one of the few one pocket tournaments in this country and I am on the East coast on business often. I hope you dont mine if I introduce myself to you if you are there. I would also like to see Strawberry play some one hole if he is still active.

With friendship Yoba
