Now listen here you low down rotten SOB!!
KIDDING!!!! (-:
No wiggle room intended. It is difficult to precisely define what "insulting" means. Some people are insulted when others merely disagree with them.
My best shot at setting the standard would be to limit my comments to those I would make to my boss (assuming I had one which I don't) and assuming I wanted to keep my job.
But on your second point, initiation would be self-evident and the same standard would be applied to the post I state was insulting to me.
But basically, I'm talking about obvious rudeness, name calling, demeaning remarks etc.

Why does that all sound like lawyerese to me?
Conditions and terms are subject to change at any time. Terms of the contract may be null and void, if the previous poster initiated the rudeness. Must be over 18 in order to qualify as eligible person to insult. Holidays are excluded. Insults are not valid if they occur between the hours of 10pm-8am the next day.

Well, let's see. Either that is a compliment...which I greatly appreciate, or you are highly interested in getting me to resign in which case you can kiss my.....NO, NO! That's the Old Jim....ummm...in which case I can only say that I regret that you feel that way!

Thanks but the numbers won't change much because forums like this are heavily skewed to roadies, and local small money players.
The context of my comments relate to the general viewing public so no poll here would be statistically significant.
I am curious though, about the breaking format for the APA and BCA leagues.
Anyone?

Jim
APA = winner breaks... It fits with their system...av84fun said:
BCA = in general it's a pre-determined breaking order (not lag, not coin flip). Most BCA only plays a single game per person, but against the whole team. In other words, 4 player teams (or 5 players / team) = 4 games (or 5 games) per person, so you'd play each opponent 1 single game.
that's the advantage in a winner breaks format, whether you're playing or watching, the match is never over!jay helfert said:
You can be up 5 games, and on the hill, and with one miss your opponent can runout the set on you!=more pressure, the same comeback in alt breaks would take several mistakes, or dry breaks by the player on the hill!
You see it happen even in regional tours. This year in the SE open, Richie Orem had Donnie Mills stuck 8-4(racing to 9) in the finals of the tourney, and Richie made one mistake, and Donnie ran out the set for the victory, and the tournament! To me that is exciting!

Nope. Not kidding at all. What you are badly missing is that the membership of a forum has nothing to do with the number of them who expressed their views in this thread.
Neither one of us know what the opinions of non-posting members might be on this subect. At least I don't know....do you?
And even taking your inapt premise at face value and if we could agree that "an overwhelming percentage" would be...say...80%, then the remaining 20%...if they voted as a block, could "skew" the results.
Skew
To give a bias to; distort.
So "skew" doesn't mean to control or dominate....just distort and any "special interest group" equal to 20% of any population base can clearly distort a "vote" that would otherwise be recorded if they were not part of any special interest group.
Consult with any high school political science student for more information on that subject.
Finally, you contine to skew/bias your remarks regarding my posts by failing to quite my entire context.
What I wrote...sir...was "Thanks but the numbers won't change much because forums like this are heavily skewed to roadies, and local small money players."
How many of the 14,000 members of this forum do you think have never played any $5.00 per rack 8 Ball or 9 Ball. About eight would be my estimate.
Do YOU wager on pool games from time to time?

Jim

And I expressed mine. If you have a problem with that then you will just have to find a way to live with it.
And I don't care less whether you agree or disagree with me...because I don't care at all!
Having said that, you wrote
"Some couch potatoes may disagree with my opinion that pool does not take a lot of Physical ability but it's my opinion after 40 years of play and I stand behind it. and... Alternate break WAS designed to make a one sided match...more interesting....Period!"
It appears that you are ignorant of the difference between physical "strength" and physical "ability."
How do you think pool is played...by MIND CONTROL?? How many quadraplegics have you ever seen win pool championships? And how much "physical ability" would you hope a brain surgeon has if you ever need one?

Jim
