Civility in a pool forum. Should we have more of it on AZB?

In other words, are you saying it's really easy to stimulate a furious response from said "demographic"? All you have to do is be silly and young and immature on an open forum and this will give them something to cry about?

Very true. It's also difficult not to conclude that some demographics willfully choose to be offended, and use it to garner support for their own agendas.
 
I was off the forum for a few years and recently came back. I was shocked at the lack of civility and common decency by many posters here.

This place has gotten worse over the years, perhaps those of you that have never left have gradually gotten used to it but I was surprised.

I imagine the trolls and troublemakers are the same types that hang in the poolroom and cannot win without sharking and acting like clowns. These types bastardize the sport of pool and integrity of the forum.
 
Thank you for the kind words about my thread :). I try my very best to act on here as I do in person which is why I have my name & pic.


The drugs must be taking effect because I swear that this very same thread topic (and an excellent thread it was) was just posted two or so weeks ago with a very various veried group of AZ'ers opining their opposing opinions in many well-thought out pre-medicated (I mean, premeditated) responses:

What he said . . .
 
Don't believe Tramp is playing second base with no arms and legs. He is second base.

They call him Paddy.

You've got that right, Blue, and it's tought playing pool without arms and legs to.
I was playing One Pocket the other day and my opponent said, "It's your shot."
I said, "I can't."
He said, "Why not?"
I said, "Because I have no arms or legs."
He said, "Well, it's still your shot."
:)
 
uh huh

You're right as rain, ray. (say that three times, really fast).
I'm sure that sometime, in the way off future, our ancestors will look back at us and say, "What a bunch of dumbasses." :smile:

Tramp,... I figure that'll happen after the 1st return from "the Apocolypse" when they will all be wondering whatever the heck happened to start all of it. Kinda scary when they translate a few I-phones & droid smartphones for their pictures,sites,and text messages!! :shocked2::shocked2:
 
Hey, I have an idea. Maybe the mods can change the graphics and we can have little birds, butterflies, faeries and such flitting across the screen and some nice back ground music.

If a person doesn't like what happens on AZ, they are always welcome to start their own sites and forums. Instead of talking about it and trying to change peoples attitudes.

It is what it is.

If he was able to catch the ball they could call him Mitt. Then...Tag. Here we go again! happy0201.gifhappy0129.gif

Well said ! umm..................................... 'cept for the flitting fairies part :eek:

AZ "is"

Amusing

Allegorical

Anecdotal

But honestly, sometimes its also an excercise in Frustration.
Indeed (see bold quote above)

Ahhh, the humanity of it all ... http://now.msn.com/black-friday-fight-filmed-in-wal-mart

But it doesn't have to be what it is. I know that the standard comeback is to change the channel if you don't like the program. Well in some sense talking about what's not liked with this program is an attempt to change the channel.
 
all I can say is it pays to have a sense of humor in here sometimes ! ( I have mine tonite :grin: )

JB,............... pls don't tell me yer a flitting fairies fan :eek: :lol:

Seriously, I know where you are coming from, but your passion for change invites (and ignites) others to do the same, and it may not be in tune with you/your desire for change. just (MHO)
 
I wish folks could find a little common ground more often. I don't expect it to change.

My name is Bruce Worcester. I don't intend to necessarily be anonymous.
 
Don't be Saucy Bruce.

After he went over the fence, he bounced from the ground into a mail box.

They called him Bill.
 
And if I were floating in a swimming pool you could call me Bob. :)

Now I know why I find your humor so dis-arming....

...and speaking of that; I was once challenged at darts by a man with no arms.
I said "I don't want to be impolite, but how do you play with no arms?
He said "Very simple, you stick a dart in my mouth......
....and then throw the board at my face."
;)
