Well, I have been a lurker, a poster, and a member longer than 2.5 years with a registered account. I read a lot, too, but there is not enough time in the day to read all of the threads on AzBilliards Discussion Forum. It would be a full-time job. So what is your point?
shinobi said:
If you think I am going to take the time to play games with you, a tit-for-tat, if you will, please give it a rest. Spend your time better by reading another thread. Your contribution to this thread seems to me an effort to keep the flame going.
shinbo said:
Substance? LOL! That is funny. I have contributed my fair share of substance to this forum. It's the instigators like yourself that keep me from taking the time to post up what you term as "substance." In fact, I used to enjoy it in days gone by.

I'm comin' over.
JAM said:
I agree. I've enjoyed reading your posts and given you positive rep in the past. But if you say you are tired of posting real substance due to instigators, and now think insults or profanities qualify as substance, how can you make your point?
I just want to hear the rationale behind your opinion.
So... are we all done now? That's it? No more action? The End?
It's bedtime in Europe, can I go to bed or will this thread continue on?
I wish both TheOne and JAM good luck in the future fights, ehh, discussions, may them be on email... (Or at DCC 2008 so I can watch the action LIVE)
Btw: Could someone, anyone, please throw me some bad rep too soon...?

Roy,
I was looking at your Avatar and noticed that you're from Norway. In the past years, I always loved eating the small sardines out of the can packed with soy oil. Lately I have been wanting to get back to this health food but I no longer see them on the shelf. They were from Norway and on the front of the printed cellophane wrap was a picture of a fisherman in a yellow rain suit. If you can tell me where I can purchase these sardines I will send you an ample supply of red or green rep.

shinobi said:TheOne, I appreciate that after you state your original opinion, you continue to respond to inquiries and comments. I haven't seen you ignore (hide from) anything yet.
JAM, you seem very selective about what you respond to. I can only assume that you don't feel you have a good answer for some of the comments/questions. And when you aren't being defensive and claiming someone is twisting your words (without citing any examples, impressive)... you pull out the big red font. Isn't that like a person who believes they are winning an argument because they are yelling?
TheOne, you might just have to repeat your opinions, but this time use a flashing, bold, italicized font. That will do the trick
I'm sorry JAM I tried to let you have the last word so we can get back on track but thats funny <searches for humungous neon font and some ra ra ra quotes>
JoeyA,
Didn't you hear? Those Norwegian Sardines where expelled from the states, apparently they where a little robotic and lacking personality in that tin of theirs, and the American Sardines Union said it was affecting their sales!
TheOne said:
There is no track anymore because you and me. You crossed the line for the last time when you insulted my boyfriend, an American veteran pool player who can dance circles around you on a field of green. How dare you.
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, I look forward to seeing you on this American tournament trail up front and close, so that I can express to you in person, and not on this moderated forum, my thoughts.
JAM
Roy Steffensen said:
Shame on you guys for hijacking this great argument. Actually, thanks for trying to anyway.
Looks like the action is back... Man, I will never fall asleep tonight... Another loooong day at work coming up...
shinobi said:
What stake do you have in this thread to learn the rationale behind my opinion? Go find yourself another person to rattle. I've got 300-plus pages due tomorrow, and my 150-WPM fingers are worn down responding to these senseless remarks.
I'm sure you can find another thread on this Discussion Forum which may pique your interests.

JAM said:
Did I? Sure you didn't twist my words?
Besides you're prob right I have two left feet and my dancing sucks like an industrial hoover!Oh well it could be worse, I could have insulted Canada, Europe, Asia, London Town, and those poor old Buckingham guards!
I think I'll move to Toronto, I'll be safe their right?
Actually Tijuana prob better, I'm guessing you might brave canada to get me!

16 to 24 sounds about right for size and the olive oil is great. I can't stand to eat those monsters 8-10 sardines. Now to find a store locally where they are sold. Will try almost anything once.
IN my search for the sardines from Norway I ran across this http://images.google.com/imgres?img...um=10&um=1&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&sa=N
Maybe we could start one of these styled postings for a while .

Joey: It's not that I'm anti-american, I'm anti-nationality. I don't say rah-rah germany either. When I watch players shoot, I just don't see it as 'that guy's american' and 'that guy isn't'. I certainly don't see 'robots' or 'aliens'. I see people and I could care less about where they were born.
Also, maybe she and TheOne have history... but eleven or twelve people were offended in that thread by what she said, and I'm one of them. So... I handle it personally (and yes, I tried doing so via PM rather than call her out in a public forum. She chose to ignore it).
I don't think you even know you have it, so you can say things like that and believe it.
Okay, the next time you're around all your foreign friends at the pool hall, tell them that the only reason their amateurish countrymen get to play in some of our events is because of the giant brown spots on their nose. Disrespect some of their heros. Call your friends boring robotic alien players. Complain about how they're screwing up american events like the US Open, maybe imply they're robbing deserving americans of the chance at the title. If they aren't shooting with american cues, tell them they're playing with foreign-made pieces of crap. Then do the verbal equivalent bold red capital letters "USA ALL THE WAY" to them.
Can you see where they might be offended?
I could say the same about your contributions to the forum.
...outside of all this squabbling with you, I seem to do OK. I get along with other people (even Russ, sort of, lol). I talk about pool in my other posts and I get the occasional thank-you note or rep. It's just that stuff you say really pushes my buttons and brings out the worst in me. I sincerely would rather stick to talking pool and not have this negative stuff every time I go to look at new posts.
You're entitled to your opinions about foreign players, and maybe you feel like "if anyone tries to shut me up and keep my from voicing my opinion, I'll just say it twice as loud". Well, that's spirited and all, but sometimes discretion is best.
I truly think you bring up nationality in threads where it isn't relevant. I'm not saying "never talk about nationality", just don't drag it out when it's got nothing to do with the current topic. It's annoying. It's like you go to a dinner party expecting to have enjoyable food and conversation, and some guy starts bringing up abortion or gun control and suddenly a dozen people are yelling at each other. All of this could be avoided if you'd stop going out of your way to say shit like BY THE WAY USA ALL THE WAY in giant red letters every day.

Now you've crossed the line, Craig. Making fun of a man's favorite sardines is no laughing matter. This stinks and is starting to look like an international altercation that you have personally instigated. You are cruising for a ban. No more jokes about my sardines, OK?

JAM cut out this racist garbage!!!
You know it is racist if you say anything positive about the USA! How dare you support the USA and our players? Just because the majority of fans in other countries support their players and have national pride doesn't mean it is OK for you to. You know that every nation is a separate race so your remarks are not only nationalistic but racist!!
I can't believe that you would post garbage like this about someone else's country!!
Oops!!! Pardon me JAM. Boy is my face red. That is The One's nationalist racist comments. I can't help noticing that the british buckingham guards are all lily white while the US soldiers are multi-race too. Looks like some racism there to me also.
On second thoughts, go JAM! I am tired of closet and blatant anti USA sentiments and I think we have as much right to root for our players as anyone else.
