No, FL's only crime was being a fair bit insane. His pool / trick shot ability aside, since I have no means by which to a affirm or deny it, his ego is insatiable and his arrogance out paces anybody elses. He either pick fights or has such a hair trigger he can't keep out of them. He is not merely standing up for himself, I can respect that, he is totally uncompromising, never presents anything as his opinion but always as a given fact. and is just an abrasive person; in short he's an arrogant a$$hole. Even if he was more civil I wouldn't read his posts anyway because he is too long winded, but it is the disruption he CAUSES that is the problem.
Fortunately, AZBilliards and CCB can ban him and it was entirely appropriate. If only he could be banned from RSB where I also frequent. I just have my software filter him (in about 20 personas) and a few people who continue to converse with him out of my list of posts as the software reads them, but it is still a pain.
