I pretty much mind my own business. If he asks to play, no problem. A new friend is made. But I don't go looking for a game.
John/Jane Q. Public and Pool
- Thread starter mchnhed
- Start date
Poolchimp strikes again...people provide the discussion he requests, he gets told it is his approach that is wrong and then he tells why we are the problem and wrong.
Dude has pscchological issues. Seriously
We should probably cook him. At least put a bell on him.
and your's is what???
I think the new guy just walk out of your pool room and is not coming back.
Plus..... he's telling everyone not to go there because they don't like outsiders.
That Dumbest Scenario is based on true experiences.

It seems to me to be a waste of bandwidth to dream up a cartoon scenario that exists only in one's imagination and then change the cartoon whenever someone gives an answer you don't like.
Assuming this really was a serious question and not just what appears to be postarrhea, a little common sense would have answered the question before it was asked.
And anyone who thinks pool's supposedly unsavory image exists because it's unfriendly to newbies obviously knows very little about the history of the sport.

Before Gansters invaded Pool Rooms during Prohibition, Pocket Billiards was a Gentleman's Pastime.
The appeal to the gangster of managing gambling operations, which were often disguised as pool halls, is partly due to the illegality of gambling at the time, and also because the demand for such opportunities was present in the city of Chicago. This demand was further amplified by the hardships of the Depression because of the hopes these poor, distraught Chicagoans had of being released from their troubles by beating the odds and winning a big bet.
Prohibition did have a solidifying influence, allowing organized crime to grow to the almost epic proportions which have been mythologized in American history, as, for example, is the case with figures like Al Capone and Eliot Ness. Such narratives are part not only of our national history, but of the unique history of the city of Chicago, one of the cities, if not the single city, most mired in a history of organized crime and gangster warfare.

could we maybe stop the Justin bashing?
Agreed! At least Justin is honest and straightforward in his posts.
And isn't bashing Justin even worse than what mchnhed postulates is happening to his own mythical character in his OP? Certainly doesn't seem to make Justin feel befriended and welcomed.
I apologized for ribbing him.
My teasing Justin proved my point.
