Mike announced one time he would delete an account but not all the posts-not sure if that is still the rule.

I wonder if the mechanic doing the subrail extension that Short Bus Russ was collecting all the info for was Russ Chewning. Hmmm. That would explain why he got so upset about this. Forgive my playing of internet detective.
Russ, for what it's worth, I'd hate to see you leave for good. I, like many others I think, have considered it over the last few years but keep dropping in just to take a look. My participation is way down, though. Too many arguments from ass hats.
so,Mr. Wilson didn't ban you for life for having two accounts...?Based on the overwhelmingly negative responses in this thread, I just pulled the trigger with Mr. Wilson to confirm the account deletions. Gotta say I'm a little disappointed with a few of the posters here (such as HawaianEye) whose posts I generally enjoyed reading.
It just looks like a lot of people on here have let the toxicity of this environment infect their personality. Getting out of here will prolly help me concentrate on my game more than anything else.
Anyone who wants to actually talk pool, I'll be over at onepocket.org under the username "Pogue".

I thought it was against the rules to have more than one account?so,Mr. Wilson didn't ban you for life for having two accounts...?
Short Bus Russ! I always liked that name, maybe even better than Toupee Jay. I wonder how he got that name?

I could be wrong, but I think I remember Smorg giving him that name after a longtime argument between the two of them.
I don't remember who specifically gave him that name, but I recall the circumstances were that years ago Russ was very outspoken and bold, to the point of coming across as some type of authority in pool. He was then challenged regarding his pool playing skills, and it was asserted that he was probably only a "C player". I think that this probably did wonders for Russ's pool game. Because since we all have egos, I'm sure that the "Short Bus Russ" moniker and "C player" assertion probably lit a fire under him to practice like crazy to make sure that he wasn't anywhere near a C player.I could be wrong, but I think I remember Smorg giving him that name after a longtime argument between the two of them.
Well said Jay!Maybe I'm still in dreamland because I still find this forum to be a valuable resource. I have also participated in threads where there are severely dissenting opinions and some heated differences of opinion. And I've also been bothered by what someone has said to me and about me more than once. I most recently had a major problem on the Action forum with a regular on there who tried to pull a cheap con on me for $100. SO WHAT!
The good so outweighs the bad that it's not even close! There are so many knowledgeable people on here that you can get an answer to most any question, pool related or not. I've been enlightened on legal issues, medical issues, shipping issues and so much more that this is a go-to place for me when I have a problem.
To me, AZB is a microcosm of life, where you need to accept the good with the bad. On here, it's easy to avoid the bad by just not clicking on the link/thread in question. Problem solved! We can chose the threads we want or don't want to participate in. No one forces any of us to post on here, except our own free will.
This is a lot easier than real life where sometimes you can't avoid a conflict. It was pretty tough in the old days when I had a problem with someone in the pool room, especially when I might see them every day. You had to watch your back when that happened. On here, if I have a problem with someone, I just quit communicating with them.
In the past there have been times where I also grew a little tired of posting and took a break for days and even weeks. I didn't feel the need to explain myself to anybody when that happened. I just took a break! And guess what? The world did not shift on it's axis either.
