Thank you.
On behalf of myself, and my NON_NIT friends, your apology is accepted. You are right about the gambling and matching up part too. There are very few pool players who will match up with someone where it is an even, or close to even match. I was at a pool tournament back in the early 80's and a pro player who was relatively unknown, asked me for the 7. I knew who he was and told him no deal, I might take the 7. Even at that, it would have been a tough game for me to win.
It is nice that you stick up for your friends. Have a great day.
titanic said:I would like to apologize to anyone who has been involved in this controversy that is not a nit or a nitwit.
I did not address my post to everyone on this forum. That would be stupid and that I'm not. You know whether or not you fit the category or not.
I'm sure most of the people on this forum are straight up people who enjoy this game as much as I did when I was younger. And to them please accept my apology.
To the nits and nitwits AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE my original post stands on it's own merit.
When two players try to match up and are jivin back and forth they are BOTH TRYING TO GET THE NUTS and who could blame them for that.
Over the years there were always people in pool rooms who had talents in other things and would challenge me. I had the same reply to all of them "THIS IS A POOL ROOM NOT A GOLF COURSE, TENNIS COURT OR BOWLING ALLEY". YOU WANT TO PLAY SOME POOL THATS WHY I CAME IN HERE.
