Mike, talk to Jerry and see if we can get people's Fargo Ratings next to their screen name. :wink:
This isn't to imply that people's opinions matter less if they don't play high level. I do think it would be interested though to see if a certain pattern held true.
The posters that I know that play very well have something in common- they tend to be very respectful of top players. It's like they've traveled down the path far enough to appreciate how hard it is to play world class.
There isn't a pool player alive that doesn't have opportunity to improve, but to speak about these players disdainfully because they are not perfect is very fatiguing to me. I'm not denying opportunity to improve, but it's striving to go from awesome to awesomer, because our players are truly awesome. It would make me feel better if I could see a big "516" next to some of the condescension I've read towards our top US players.
