Hats off

[Gunn_Slinger]

Hats off to those forum pool players that felt fit to point out a fauxpas
by one of the Legends of the game of pool. Good for you guys, I hope
you are just patting yourself on the back for your comments, it was
like watching sharks in blood.

Instead of sending him a PM and saying wow, I think u made a
crappy remark, you flew to your keyboard to be the first on
the lets kick a 70 year old in the head.

Excellent moves kids I hope you are feeling so proud today.

But the sad thing is the world needs more Billy's and less Bully's.
Now that's a shirt I would wear.

Can't say how disappointing reading that thread on Billy was, I hope it gets
tossed as it is wrong on so many levels. Lots of nice people in that thread but
it's the boneheads with their off the mark statements that were so sad, and wrong.

outretirement for a day

ps I'm not checking this for grammar or spelling as I am just so
angry after reading that thread.

You are absolutely correct. While we're at it why don't we just jettison Howard Cosell's "look at that little monkey run", or maybe we could all pretend that Jimmy "The Greek" never said that plantation owners bred their slaves to produce good workers (or athletes).

Let's pretend it never happened.

So there is an expectation that pool forum members will react completely differently than your typical Internet user ? Quite frankly if you want nobody to comment on your behavior then stay off the Internet. It's a new world here folks, get used to it !

When you step into the commentary booth you become a public figure.

Your comments are public...and the reaction to them will be public.

He apoligized, what more do you want?

Well said!

Billy doesn't get a pass because he was a great player, or because he's a funny guy. He needs to be called out the same way anyone should when they speak disgustingly about any race of people.

You have a right to feel any way and free speech is a right as well, but in a public forum a certain amount of decorum is expected and rightfully so.

Billy didn't get bullied, he got exposed.

Are you referring to when someone got upset because he called someone ping pong? This is in no way bullying. Of course I am referring to getting upset and posting about it, not the name calling. That IS bullying.

King T,

I believe if you bothered to read and understand my post you would realize that I agree with you. Sorry for the confusion.

[King T]

Your right!

ONB

Not confused, I agreed with you. I was speaking to those that think he should have gotten a pass, not you, your position was well stated and agreed with.
