Is he losing his buttons?
If he has a case, he should go to court. Whip the baton on them offenders.
John can be very likable and friendly but he also can blow up at the drop of a hat..
I did see it, such crap. I've bought over 20 cases from John and Karen since I found out about JB Cases. They both know me and go out of their way to always help or see me.
That dude Mike may own a whole business other than cases, but I won't ever give him a penny. In my mind, he is a total POS
If he has a case? Of course he has a case! He's got lots of cases!
He owns Omega Cues.
He and his wife are hard working folks.
3x6 probably
SERIOUSLY?
John bashed Jack Justis for over 20 years, and Jack is one of the nicest human beings on the planet.
If you bought 20 cases from me, I'd answer the phone too.
Takes one to know one, maybe. I remember an "army" of folks who used to attack John on a regular basis years ago. Jealousy, I'd say.
A lot of us like John Barton very much. He's intelligent and smart. He's also one of my oldest virtual pool friends.
I read on FB a few threads about somebody copying his case design or something similar to that.
Those who know JB -- I mean really know him, not what is written about him by keyboard cowboys -- realize what a treasure he is to the pool world. As well, he is very generous to pool players and pool peeps, giving them free cases and other pool gifts. They don't come any better than John.
Sure, he is opinionated, but a lot of us are. He is also a very strong supporter of pool by sponsoring players and tournaments. Usually it is the intelligent people who are the ones able to share opinions and write on a forum. Then there are those who only come to forums to attack others.

You never have cause to hit someone when it’s just words being spoken.. that’s what children do but then again it is john and it acts like a child.
Thats the Truth!!
I surprised he didn't use his patented "flying chicken wing style". Nah, just joking. Trouble seems to have a way of finding mr. Barton. I've nothing against him, thought his posts were entertaining for the most part, but he does have a way of pissing some people off.
JB's a good guy but he's got a fuse 'bout a 1/4" long. Doesn't take much flame for his bomb to blow. He's built a reputation for his Rugged series and along comes the Omega look-a-likes. Something had to give. If something did happen it wasn't a one-way street.
That's damn near an omgwtf thang.
Who has links to the FB drama?
JB has always been "passionate" ...any controversial topic he gets hooked on, and that's not hard to do, he will go on for pages and pages. Last word kind of guy, combative and the such. Lots of emotion in his approach. Often, he will throw in the towel on reason, facts and logic and switch any debate away from those things, and instead try to make it into a bet of some kind. As if a bet determines truth.
Nothing new on AZ. He was the same way on rec.sport.billiard in the 1990's.
However, a lot of people are like that on the web, but are non-violent in person.
I find it hard to believe he hit someone.
Either way, he does make the best case. I wouldn't go as far as to say he's a crazy/psycho genius, but often time these kind of passionate types goes along with innovation or great skill in certain areas.
That same relentless, obsessiveness he has in his discussions and confrontations is the same obsessive mechanism that drives his case making. Which is why he makes a great case.

i dont know squat about cases but if you dont have patents on anything it is fair game to copy it for the most part. so if your in the business of making something without a patent be prepared for someone else to make something very similar or identical for less money.
that is business and also forces them to improve their products.

You can only make cases in different ways. JB was the first to do it but expect copies that are far superior than JB Cases because they can only improve on it. We like competition because it forces innovation.
He didnt invent the cue case last time I checked and has copied cases himself, so where's the beef ,
