In memory of those we will miss

To be completely and brutally honest here, a number of the girls on tour simply tolerate him because they are afraid not to. If he feels slighted by a player in any way, he can get very ugly. He won't be doing it on these forums anymore.

Mike,

That's exactly what I heard about him last weekend!

Deleting posts is enough to get banned as far as I'm concerned if it's a regular thing.

The pictures were nice but the idea of creepy stalker guy taking a 1000 pictures of girls as they lean over the table and shoot is a little too much... I'm sure he's sharked them more than a few times.

His condescending attitude did get pretty old; I don't think anyone needs this guy around to tell us how dumb he thinks we are.

Just a little note for each of us to mention people that we will miss.

To start us off, we will all now miss Gremlin in the forums.

Mike

Mike,

I won't miss the asshole.

A large # of his pics were not taken by him. I suspect anytime he saw a pic he liked, he saved it. Then he would post it later as one of his.

I know for a fact that a number of "his pics" were actually taken by Diana Hoppe and she was not pleased about it.

ditto that.

He did have a bad habit of deleting any post that caught flak. I guess he would sober up the next day and realize how rude his posts were.

Anyway,

Cheers !! :D

I now officially retract my previous appreciation of the pics he posted. As far as I am concerned, he is on 'double-secret probation' and he can launder and iron Neidermeyer's tighty-whitey's. :mad:

Gremlin had been asked over a month ago to stop removing threads when posts were made to them that he didn't like. (If you start a thread, and remove the first post then it removes the entire thread.)

He did it again this weekend and when I asked him why, he called me out on not catching redhotpeter quicker than he was caught and said that I wouldn't have to worry about him deleting threads anymore because he would not be posting anymore.

I decided to help him do away with temptation and removed his account for him.

He has been rude and disrespectful to anyone that posted anything about any of the girls that he feels are 'his friends'. He feels that he makes his own rules here on the forums and can do as he pleases. One of the threads he removed a month ago contained a lot of info that another user went back to try to retrieve. But useful info is not important if Gremlin decides that one of his theads needs to go.

To be completely and brutally honest here, a number of the girls on tour simply tolerate him because they are afraid not to. If he feels slighted by a player in any way, he can get very ugly. He won't be doing it on these forums anymore.

Sounds like you are punishing a man for a fault with your board.

And you allowed "redhotpeter"? I'll bet you were laughing like a high school kid when you first read it.

Women afraid of him? Hell no, they just like his money and will take all he wants to give them.

500 pictures? Hell I'll bet he takes that many at every tournament he goes to. With a digital camera it is hard not to take a lot of pictures.

Mike you sound like the little kid at the ball field, "Don't want to play my way I'm taking my bat and going home".

So who is going to take over the task of keeping us informed about the women? Landshark77 with her potty mouth?

Really Jake, you should involve yourself more in the pool community...maybe then you will know what you are talking about. :rolleyes:

Well, that and a few other things.

It was tiffpoolbum's message saying the green guy was her special someone that finally got my attention. That didn't sound anything like something she would post. To be honest, it didn't sound like anything that any female player would post.

Believe me, there are some that would be glad to be away from him and his money. It would take a lot of money to pay for having to look over your shoulder all the time when you were out doing your job.

No, actually it would be more like the big kid at the ball field, "Don't want to play my way I'm taking my bat, ball, and field and sending you home".

If you truly miss him, I am sure he will post in all of his glory over at southernbilliards.com

Until they get tired of him, of course.

Whatta clown you are. If you miss the Gremstalker so much, go join him at the other site. I'd ban your ass just for something to do. Mike did the right thing, it just took him a little longer to do it because he DOES have a heart.
 
Someone made the comment about this being America. Seems to me that this is the internet, not America. I'm an American and proud of it enough to fight for it for 4 years and come out of it as a disabled vet. That being said, this internet site can be viewed by anyone in the world that has internet access so this is not an American thing but an internet issue. Mike is I believe the owner of this site and can ban anyone he wants whenever he wants. This board is not a democracy and shouldn't be one.

Gremlin used to be a supporter of one of the British pros that came over and a supposed friend of that pro got into a verbal altercation with Gremlin and Gremlin started hurling a bunch of crap at that pro. I don't know if anyone remembers that but it was really inappropriate. If I was Mike, I would have banned him then. If he was doing something that Mike asked him not to do and he kept doing it, Mike did the right thing. It's his board and he can do what he wants with it. I for one appreciate all the hard work he puts in. Thanks Mike! Keep up the good work!

Tap! Tap!

Rude Dawd... you just have a knack of telling it like it is.. I appreciate that about you..

Mike Howerton has to clean out the garbage, just like anyone else. Otherwise the place (AZBilliards forums) will start to STINK.

How long do you think Gremlin would have lasted in any pool hall, spouting off and 'annoying' playres, without the internet behind him?

Well said, you have a rather enlightened attitude regarding the Internet. Just out of curiousity I popped over to the board where Grem is supposedly posting (listed earlier in this thread). The 'Professor' who runs that board said pretty much the same thing "I won this board, it's not a democracy, I do as I see fit". Grem had posted a 'Press Release' about being banned from here ... what a great way to introduce yourself :rolleyes:

Dave
 
A "press release"? Now that is a good one.

Like anyone in this world besides Gremlin cares where he posts.

Mike
 
Sure a lot of hate on this board. What's the matter fellos/girls the price of gas grabbing you in the wallet and you can't afford to drive to the poolroom so you have to sit home and talk trash to a stupid computer.

You guys must have me confused with someone who gives a royal f

I've never seen you so vocal on here, even with FL. The green guy REALLY must have gotten under your skin big time, and for a long time. Normally you're extremely tolerant and let things just play out, which is good because they normally do (as well as provide excitement for the troops). But not on this one! The moral to this story is..........DON'T F*#K with the MIKESTER!! :D
 
He was kind of like a thorn in your side that you just can't get rid of. I was close a number of times, but I was trying to be tolerant. The last thing I ever want to do is throw someone off the forums. I had finally just had enough.

Mike
