Karen Corr in the finals 14.1 American National Championships.

[AtLarge]

Wish I could've watched.

As was mentioned earlier, the final match and a couple of others are now available on the Diamond Billiards (the pool room) website: http://diamondbilliardsva.com/live-stream/.

The final match is worth watching not just to see Darren's great potting (runs of 42, 62, 23, and 27 with only 2 missed shots) but also to see some great long-range safety play by both players in the first 8 innings of the game. Unfortunately, two of those safeties by Karen left shots for Darren that started him on his two long runs.

My wife could be a world class pool player, but we don't have room in the kitchen for a table.

ROTFL...

you bastard I have coffee in my keyboard...

 

[voiceofreason]

Time to get back to getting tanked on warm beer and if you're over 30 and haven't bitten off anyone's nose yet- get to it!! :thumbup:

Haven't bitten anyone's nose off in weeks to be honest. Will get on that later...

When you decide to send a comment out then it's free for the receiver to do what they will with it.

Please stop with the morality play on "profanity". The reason I used the word cock is because the guy called me that on here months ago and was not chastised even though it was reported by others.

People are vastly more profane constantly and you are not running around checking them with rep comments.

And you fail to understand the basic difference between me being an asshole in response to an attack and someone else being an asshole for the sheer fun of it because they can and won't ever have to face the people they troll.

If your referring to the hardly ever comment ,, that's not a attack that's a fact ,, hardly the same thing

Dear JB Cases,

You are holding baggage from a post several months ago? That explains a lot...

Here are a couple of quotes for you to chew over. No reply is required. Simply chew them over..

"Argue the argument, not the person"

“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." - Desmond Tutu

“I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me.” ― Dave Barry

“You cannot reason people out of a position that they did not reason themselves into.”

“I find I am much prouder of the victory I obtain over myself, when, in the very ardor of dispute, I make myself submit to my adversary’s force of reason, than I am pleased with the victory I obtain over him through his weakness.”

“That's the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong.”

And last but not least, the most important:

“I am very cautious of people who are absolutely right, especially when they are vehemently so.”

Here is another one, "the problem with people, is people"

Don't go out of your way to be a dick and no one will call you on it. As for you calling me a cock, I don't really care because that's the least offensive thing anyone has said to me. I just found it hilarious that you can say that and not get censured yet others get censured for far less.

And those who use a list of quotes from others to make their arguments are not only devoid of original thought, they are also boring.

Thank you for making my point..

 

[JB Cases]

Thank you for making my point..

Which is what? That you acted like a dick and got called on it? You're welcome.

Since you're so fond of using other people's philosophies consider the Sufi Three Gates. I will let you look it up.

And lastly, a few anecdotes about Churchill that are apt here, you being British and all.

Lady Astor to Churchill, "if you were my husband I'd poison you", Churchill to Lady Astor, "if you were my wife I would drink it."

Lady Astor to Churchill, "You sir are drunk", Churchill replies, "Yes I am but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly."

No need to be ugly when you don't have to be.

 

[voiceofreason]

Which is what?

I already typed it. Please see my posts above but I could summarise if you wish?

It seems that a few weeks/months ago I called you a cock. That is not in fact true, what I did was describe you as a bit of a cock in areply to a post to another user.

You seem to have a habit of bending thefacts and other peoples posts to suit your own trolling.

The fact you are holding on to this baggage months and months later show you up to be what you are really...

A bit of a cock..

And I am pretty sure that I am not the only one on this board that thinks that..

That you acted like a dick and got called on it? You're welcome.

That is an incorrect opinion held only by you I think.

For the cheap seats, I clarified my post, which was in itself a statement of fact anyway.

How's your one pocket game these days? Still practising?

Again I don't care. The point was not that you called me one it was that the so-called rules don't apply to you.

As I said being called a dick, as we say in the States, is one of the mildest things I have been called.

No, I am not practicing one pocket because I am busy. Why do you want to play some?

Make an appointment. Or if you like I will be happy to stake Karen Corr against you.

Oh wait can't do that because you're just another anonymous super nobody who is all show and no dough. At least Lou Figueroa signs his name to his comments.

Well, that is clearly a lie because you keep mentioning it.

Err ok.

I am afraid that firstly, I am based in the UK and not the USA and secondly I don't play American pool games at all. So I will have to decline your request for a game.

Please feel free to chalk it up as a victory.

Well, as I declined the game my "real identity" is now meaningless.

As to the whole username thing, in particular in the context of this thread and the posts on it. It is completely irrelevent to the posts. If you prefer, then you can tell everyone that someone hiding behind the anonymous username "voiceofreason" called you a nasty name and clearly it is not true because you don't know who voiceofreason is.

If the mods would let us post a poll on the subject, we could carry out some site-wide analysis of your posting methods..

It's a point of conversation. If I cared I would have pointed it out at the time you did it.

I am afraid that firstly, I am based in the UK and not the USA and secondly I don't play American pool games at all. So I will have to decline your request for a game.

Please feel free to chalk it up as a victory.

It was a rhetorical offer.

Well, as I declined the game my "real identity" is now meaningless.

Quite.

Oh it's very true, I am a dick. But the point is that I don't go out of my way to be a dick which you clearly do as evidenced by the fact that you say you don't even play pool yet here you are spending time trolling a pool forum. That was the point, why do people go out their way to be dicks when they don't have to?

Care to answer that for us since you clearly have the experience doing it?

 

[shinobi]

Another thread crashes and burns.

For those interested, Karen plays Earl this evening on the free AZBTV ustream from Turning Stone.

I believe "bukkake" would be the appropriate handle for JB's methods of posting (willing to let mods change JB's forum title without asking my permission)

At the end of the day it's a joke, not a dick. Don't take it so hard, JB Cases, because as you've said enough times for an alzheimer's sufferer to remember, words don't hurt you.

You didn't earn my business due to your personality and business practices. THAT is the worst insult I could bestow upon you. Hit you right in the pocketbook with that one.



Back on topic: it was a shame that Karen couldn't get in a groove against Darren. He simply dominated the match but Karen has the chops to hang with the best when she gets in the groove. And is a wonderful person to talk to as well.

you didn't affect my wallet at all. can't lose what wasn't there in the first place. you assume that you are just a number to me, a potential customer to be milked for as much money as I can get from you.

so I should "act" accordingly and pander to you so that you will not be upset and withhold your "money" right?

I would rather not have your money if the price is my integrity and having to give mental lap dances to strangers.

I enjoy the fact that my customers from this forum buy from me because they appreciate that I do say what I think on and off the forum. When some like you tries to play the won't buy from you card some one else says great one less person in front of me.

I did not say I didn't play pool. I said I did not play american pool.

You are like a twisty turny thing that has got all twisted and turned.

It's so hard to keep up, I might go and get myself some chocolate
