I got my first hate mail....

Linda Carter - The QUEEN!
Silver Member
My original 2nd message for the cue survey to the IPT players:

If you are not on the list, would you be so kind and email me back with a short list of your playing equipment -

And the reply:


Linda,,

This is from Mike Cernero, no relation to Bernie


NO,,,, it's more like Linda no relation to Colin J

PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ANY MORE QUESTIONS,,, YOU CAN'T EVEN COMPREHEND & FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. You're not cool,,

Geez Linda,,, I see why you're the "Mental" in Ornamental or what ever it is...

You know Linda I don't know Bernie and it was obvious to me who the amateurs were at the IPT you included. But the way you and some other's have crucified Bernie up on AZ only makes you're selves look very unprofessional.

Linda you and all the other idiots who have hurt that poor guy's feelings should take a good look in the mirror. What makes you any better than Bernie..? The women's pro tour pays more money than the mens. Linda I don't see one year that you have earned the amount of money for the entire year as Bernie has earned in 1 tournament. Bernie has won more money in 1 tournament then you have ever earned in an entire year on the WPT.

Guess what Linda,,,, you wanna knock and ruin that poor guys 15 minutes to fame... Guess what,,, You're own husband is getting questioned as one of the IPT players who "how did he/she ever get selected"..

Linda you you're self have no shot at getting past the 1st round..

What you idiots have done to that poor guy Bernie on AZ should be criminal.

Linda that guy is a much much much better person then you ever where or will ever be. That guy is honest and sincere and has won more tournaments than you have. Linda have you ever won a 2600 tournament? I bet not. Bernie has.

I have more respect and LIKE and would much rather watch Bernie's matches than I would watching you're matches... Linda the real truth... You don't have any real right of having been selected as much as you have no right knocking anyone.

What all you few immature idiotic morons have done to Bernie I hope he draws you're butt the 3rd match of the 1st round and KNOCKS YOU OUT 1-2-3 good-bye Linda.

Please don't reply back... I'll only delete and in the trash bin too any reply without opening it.

Bernie tell these idiots to go shove it and don't you dare let anyone bring you down... Bernie you do you're best and be proud of you're self. You made a list that many are very jealous of... Bernie trust me,,, most all those people harping on you at AZ can't play a lick. Great players do not act like that,,, only the amateurs who most can't beat you.

Bernie don't let anyone get you down... Tell em to kiss your butt..


Have a good day
God Bless
Mike

And I responded:

Geez Mike,

Sorry to get your panties in a bunch. I am actually friends with Bernie and that was a gentle nudge, not a slam...all good-natured ribbing. I am not saying I am a great player, I know I will be knocked out in the first round. Bernie and I talk a lot via PM's and he feels I am his ONLY ally on AZB. So I don't know what your problem is. Maybe you should check your facts first and go check ALL my references to Bernie's remarks before you slam me.

Linda

And finally, to Bernie,

Bernie,

The reference to him being related to you was regarding the format of his long newsy post, not for anything pool related. I humbly apologize if I offended you, especially now because I think this guy has a screw loose for attacking me. He actually wanted to room with us!
 
Sorry my little poll has got you into hot water rackmsuckr:eek: .

Although I don't know you personally, I know the amount of work you have put into helping me with the IPT player cue survey, and anyone that selfless must have a good heart.

Don't know what got Mike Cernero's knickers in a twist, but just forget it, some people are not worth the effort to understand,

Your fellow AZ friend

Daniel Sutton:D
 
The gentleman's note to you, Linda, isn't even worth responding to.

FWIW, let your cue stick do the talking come this July in Las Vegas. Win or lose, it is going to be a golden opportunity for every single competitor who steps up to the plate.

Remember that some, and not all, disgruntled posters are truly on the outside looking in; thus, the crackpots will come out of the woodwork from time to time and continue to attempt to ruin your IPT experience. They cannot succeed, though, if you show no fear and be all that you can be on a field of green. When you see a piece of dog doo-doo, you step over it quickly and move on. Do the same thing with this POS message sent to you.

See you in Vegas, Baby! :D

It seems obvious that Mike is frustrated with other posters picking on Bernie and took it out on you by venting.

The closer it gets to the first tournament the more nervous players become. First they worry about whether the tournament will take place and second will they embarrass themselves.

Bernie is a big boy and he seems like he can take the heat. Afterall, it goes with the territory.

The fact of the matter is, you are on the IPT. Who cares what anyone else thinks of your playing abilities.

And dont let this bother you, they will get over it.
 
Where did Bernie go? Was there some big blow-up that I missed?

Who is this Mike fellow? And why is he taking his ire out on Linda? What'd she do?

I miss Bernie. I think he's nuts, of course, but in a good and completely harmless way. I am not sure how seriously he takes himself and I find his posts - or what I can read of them anyway - refreshing and funny.

Linda, you've already made all of us proud with your positive attitude about this tour. Do NOT start saying things like "I know I will be knocked out in the first round." to placate the naysayers. It serves no purpose, and it belies the dedication you have put into this game. I trust you are preparing for this tournament in your free time; do it with as positive an attitude as you've shown on this board, and you will continue to make us proud.

- Steve
 
Linda,

I seen ya play the game. Don't let the other stuff get you down, just play on. As we all know, in a public forum like this, you will often get people that don't get it. ;)

Bugs, by the way I want to play on your new table..... :cool:
 
Linda ....

I think you are correcct that this Mike just misunderstood of the posts
about Bernie. Bernie is just excited about the IPt, and rightfully so after
being selected, as were you. Bernie's posts were ones of exuberance
and fascination, but it is true, he might be on a different paradigm than
most posters.... lol

I hope that neither of you gets your enthusiasm or determination dampened
from competing the best that you can.
 
Mike Cernero is also on the IPT. Thanks for all your wonderful words of support. :)

Just to reiterate my stance on Bernie, I submit the following post: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?p=320768#post320768

I could probably beat him playing with my off hand. If he had any idea of what people around him think about him, he'd probably commit suicide. People are only nice to him because he's somebody that can build up your confidence if you need somebody to beat up on.

Any my response quoted:

I think that's a tad harsh. Bernie is a nice guy, just over-enthusiastic. He has feelings too. :(

And Bernie is on the IPT because he has a couple qualities that a lot of better pool players didn't have - he was prompt with his application and he believed in the possibility of something better for pool players. :)

I hope she shoots him down in the first round! Oh, that would be irony to the max!

Posting private emails to a public forum = bad form, IMHO.

Of course, that goes without saying. I specifically told all IPT members that I belonged to a billiard forum and that it would be posted for the cue survey. I also thought Mike had some suggestions of value regarding accommodations in Vegas that might be helpful to other IPT travelers.

WW,
Have you considered the possibility that this Mikey C. might have thought that the PoolFool quote was YOURS not PoolFool's (since it was in your post). He seems to be a forum newbie, and well below "B" in the literary skills department. Maybe he doesn't know you can quote other people's posts in your own. Just a thought. Otherwise, he's just deep out in left field.

Ding Ding Ding Ding.
I think you might just have hit the nail on the proverbial head. If that is not the case then Mike is just a little on the unstable side.:confused:
 
OK, the guy is totally unhinged. He is sending more hate letters, 6 today. He has lodged a complaint at AOL, AZB, and the IPT. I tried sending him one very nice reasoning email to him yesterday, and now he is harrassing me. This is the kind of people they want in the IPT???

Some samples:

your an asshole lady

Hello AOL, IPT

I like to log a complaint against the screen name rackmsuckr (Linda Carter)

Rackmsuckr has been copy/pasteing personal info from ________ and pasting my personal info against my permission up on a public website in a malicious manner to slander my name.

Thank you
Michael Cernero




Besides being ugly as hell and stupid as sin that lady Linda Carter is a moron. Bernie she can't play a lick. She stinks at pool. They talk about you... I have NO idea how her or her husband ever made that list. Linda is a B player.. And she's an asshole stupid *****... let her copy/paste this on and paste it on her fan club amateur website.


That broad is loved so much her own dog bit her,,, hahahaha

BTW - I won a tournament tonight - beating my husband and James Davee to win, lol.

Congrats on the fine win, Linda! :D

Just as an aside, Linda, from reading the comments written to you by this fellow IPT member, it appears to me as if he is a little misguided and maybe unstable. He will put the noose around his own neck in time if he continues with his present forum behavior. Ignore him and keep on hitting 'em. ;)

BTW, if you go on the Venetian website, they are offering suites for a special price of $159 per night plus tax on several of the same dates as the IPT tournament. :)

Linda Carter

I have known Linda for many years and she is a total class act all the way. And she can play a little too, don't be fooled by her self deprecating tone.
She will give you that little shy smile, and proceed to run out a rack or two.

This guy that has been sending her hate mail, has also been sending some to me. I wouldn't put it on here because it's so outrageous and deranged.
He was known in NYC pool circles as "Mental Mike" for obvious reasons.

Please disregard anything he writes as coming from the mouth of a true blue NUT! He is on here under the moniker Wonderlan also. He uses a variety of pseudonyms to hide under.
