Yes, i am the guy who bought JL last weekend. Sorry I took so long to finally post but my acct was not activated for like 24 hrs. Plus, i actually have a life outside of posting responses to a subject that i didn't even start on this website to begin with. People wanted to hear my side of the story, and i relayed it to the best of my ability through my friend clolson (thanks btw CO2.) I definitely wanted nothing to do with all the drama that has ensued from these events. Anybody who knows me can tell you that I would not have all this happening if it was not the truth. I was not going to mention names and all of that, especially seeing the new TD thread, but I feel obligated to defend myself. The fact that I feel disrespected by an anonymous Jeanette Lee fanboy, makes me feel, as Williebetmore already pointed out, like a loser.
In my original posting through clolson you may notice I never called Jeanette a single name, not even unprofessional or classless. Williebetmore, however, chooses to take the low road and call me a psychotic stalker with rude disturbing behavior! WOW! The fact that you would say these types of things without knowing any of the facts firsthand is truly disgusting. Waiting by the computer so that you can post a reply everytime someone posts a new comment...i'm surprised you get that good of an internet connection that far up Jeanette's butt. I think its pretty obvious that i havent been trying to run her name in the dirt, but apparently, if one stands up for themselves around Jeanette, her "friends" will. Nice.
Now I would like to clear up a couple of things that people still aren't quite sure of. In mine and Jeanette's initial interaction, she did say she probably will buy 1/2 but she would let me know. There was still probably 30 mins to go in the calcutta so i figured she'd let me know within a reasonable time. When Willie says "it was only a few matches later, not the finals" when she approached me again, there was only 14 players in the A-B bracket total, a few matches later is the end of the tournament. I guess I didn't realize how much time she needed. She also was in no way a lock to win the tourney, maybe if she sees she has to play BG, Everett Snow, or Steve Oaks, she doesn't want half...JMO. Nobody lets Joe Shmoe look at the brackets, figure up the pot, and calculate his odds, then let's him have half right?
Like I said, I didn't want to have to name names, but when Brian Gregg approached me about letting Jeanette buy half herself, i said something to the effect of "now, Brian?" or "the calcutta ended 6 hrs ago, brian." He replied, " It's not like that, she's been looking for you" That was when I walked away without saying yes, or no. The fact that she told Brian that she'd been looking for me was preposterous. She had gotten on the mic a couple times, and never asked to speak to me. John Wayne's is small enough to find me if she wanted to. If i see her walking around looking like she can't find something, i'm gonna say "hey JL, looking for me?" And BTW, I also played in the tournament, so I was also busy.
As far as Jeanette's character goes, I am aware that she does a lot of great things for the sport, which I commend her for. I've talked to several people who have seen her put moves on people in the past. I recently learned of something that happened at the Derby earlier this year where she hit an 8ball first, while attempting to hit the 3 ball, and swore it was a good hit. She was gambling with a gentleman whom i dont recall his name, but they were playing 11,000-13,000 dollar nineball.
I'll say again, that I didn't want to have to post all of this nonsense, but I will not let my character come into question for doing the absolute right thing.
Dear Williebetmore,
I am a nobody on this website or in the pool community itself, but if you really live in Indy, then I know somebody who knows who you are. My name is Matt Thompson and if you have an iota of an ounce of heart, you will put your name on here. I just wanna know the name of the man calling me such ridiculous things. That's all.
Thanks Azbilliards, and i want to apologize for again kicking a dead horse...even though Mr. Ed ain't got sh*t on this horse!
P.S. I wanna say sorry to Jack and Brian for creating a new thread after you guys have already made one, but I felt like I needed to address these things.
in a couple of calcuttas, so she knows the drill.
