How would you handle this Foul situation?

[ChrisBanks]

Wow...I STRONGLY disagree with you on that one. WHY get mad at a league operator who merely enforces the CLEAR AND UNMISTAKABLE rules?????

And WHY quit a league...which is likely the most convenient or ONLY one in your area...miss all the fun...miss all the competition...out of a wrongheaded and spiteful attitude?

I don't see any other way of approaching it.

I'm afraid I would have had a little chat or more with the opponent's friend after the match outside about being a pool detective.

Years ago, there was a guy down in Houston that got into everyone else's business during gambling sessions. How the guy ended up with most of his teeth in his mouth was beyond me.

I learned along time ago if I'm not involved in a match, I keep my mouth shut. If I'm asked about a call, I tell 'em I've been blind since 1943. Chances are I'm going to piss one or the other off if I speak so no, thank you.

Hey stones. If you were ALIVE in 1943 then you're probably not a guy who should be talking tough about meeting people in the parking lot!! (-:

And I don't care how big you are. I have a close friend...former Seal Team 6...5' 9", 180 lbs.

And it would be SUCH a mistake for anyone to get up in his face. He once told me..."Its kind of hard to fight people...but easy to kill them."

One night, a guy got a little cranky with him at a bar. He just smiled and said..."If you only knew." and walked away. If Dude had pursued him from behind, the BEST outcome would have been his survival.

I learned a LONG time ago...fortunately from observation and not participation...that there is a HUGE number of people with advanced martial arts skills who can put you on your back before you even know a fight has started.

Just a word to the wise for all those who think fighting is an appropriate dispute resolution technique. If you roll that way...you best know how to defend yourself from lethal force.

I'm just sayin'

Well....I am genuinely sorry for your myopia. Getting your shorts up in a bunch just because people enforce RULES is pretty childish.

Your position suggests you'd like it better if officials IGNORED rules.

That leads to chaos...not fun.

Uh...........The 1943 quote was meant to be a joke as I was born in 1950.

Back in the day when I grew up, the rules were a little different than now such as you never quit winner when gambling. If you were up moneywise, you played until you broke even and the other guy quit. Period.

If you quit while you were up, you might end up in the parking lot.

And the big RULE was, don't get into other people's business especially if it involved gambling.

Back then, if you had a loud mouth person get into your business, you warned him once and if that didn't work, you took him outside and whipped him.

Win, lose or draw, he would take his whupping and learn to keep his mouth shut when things didn't involve him. No guns, knives or any kind of weapon. Just your fists.

About 99% of the time, a warning was all that was needed.

When I was young and stupid, I was warned a couple of different times but I paid attention and learned.

These days, if you tried to do that, you'd probably get shot or go to jail or get sued.

Times change.

Then you're STILL too old (like me) to be getting up in people's faces. (-:

Where did you grow up....SOMALIA????
