Karen Corr in the finals 14.1 American National Championships.

Eric, I was seated in the middle aisle right behind Earl. No mistaking what he said, and no doubt that Karen could hear every word. You could see on her face that she was shaken by his rant, and her game definitely was off. She missed two or three shots she'd almost never miss, and the momentum certainly wasn't going to swing her way after that, not against a monster like Earl.

SP, I'm not disputing what you heard. I heard and saw Earl holding court as well. All I was trying to say is that it wasn't relentless and he did stop after the first 3-4 racks.

Again, no condoning any of it.

I happen to have one example in the other direction. The Iphone4. There were reports that the signal got weak when the phone was held a certain way, reporters panned it - tons of negativity.

Apple responded by saying "phones aren't perfect", anyone who wants a refund can have one, not only did extremely few people ask for a refund the phone went on to outsell every other phone and device EVER in a shorter time.

And as we all know Apple was led by one of the biggest assholes on the planet who never shied away from telling it as he saw it.

All the "top marketers" said he would fail with every device and every idea. But instead he succeeded well beyond what anyone else ever did in the same space.

Pays to do your homework Mark.

Would she have ground out a win if he was quiet in his chair the whole time like he should be? Probably not, but that's not the point. The point is that gender shouldn't be an issue in pool, any more than race, religion, nationality, sexual preference, or taste in music. If it is a personal issue, you should do your best to not show it and just play the game. It's called "Good sportsmanship."

So, you would have no problem with men playing on the womens tour?

And Apple is worth 600 billion and Samsung is worth 200 billion. People are paying $6000 for grey market Iphone6s in China.

Looking around the web I find plenty of images of bent phones. No one lines up and camps out to get the latest Samsung anything.

The fact is that even with foibles and stumbles Apple continues to defy the "experts" and force them to eat humble pie. It's a huge game to predict Apple's demise and then instead what happens is that each product launch ends up with huge sales and millions of happy customers.

Typing this on a MacBookPro, bought used, later will browse it on my Samsung tablet or my Samsung phone. Luckily for me I wasn't swayed by Steve Jobs' asshole nature and put myself on a morality pedastal by refusing to use Apple products. Because then I wouldn't have ever tried the Macbook and found the best computer I ever had.

It just works and never crashes - they said it and it's true. Been through four pc laptops and untold desktops in the past decade. The Mac takes everything I throw at it and never even hiccups. So thanks for being a raging asshole Steve Jobs and insisting on quality. The marketing experts were wrong and so are the AZB "experts".

So Mark, as I said before I have no masters, and I am in a position to refuse to deal with some people and you are on the Do Not Sell To List. This means I have the freedom to say whatever I want to you and what I want to say is I hope someday you break free of your corporate slavery. Someday you may taste the freedom I enjoy every day and then you will understand a position you can't yet comprehend.

The Women's tour is a tour for weaker players, like the tours for B players or handicapped players.

No one cares if a wheelchair player plays with the pros. No one cares if a decent male amateur who is dead money plays with the pros. But as soon as a contestent has a vagina then it's unfair?

I mean I think it would be better IF there were no women's tour but then I'd like to women treated the same in the pool room and I'd like to see equal numbers of women playing. But that isn't happening so for now they can have a league of their own.

And when they are allowed to compete with the best men then they should. And there should be a rule that if they start to finish consistently high against the men then they have to give up the women's league because at that point they would recognized as having the skill level to be consistetnly competitive.

I never said it was his opponent's turn. I'm pretty sure it was just before Mike was set to break. It was a legitimate equipment change. One thing for sure, there was no concern about whether or not he was conceding. Mike was drilling the guy pretty good at the time.

That's why I used the word 'if.' You didn't make it clear when he unscrewed.

That's funny JB last time I checked you live in China and I live in the USA ,, how's that freedom of speech and population thing working out over there ,and I choose to hire workers who have those equal rights and freedoms and if I need them to put a brass nail in I'm sure they can handle it , if not that product never leaves my shop ,, that the quality we come to expect from a maker like JJ
So the last thing in this world you will ever see is me buying one of your cases

You did read JBs post to me didn't you ,, where he brags about his freedoms and how he can refuse to sell me a case ,,

I'm pointing out he went to China where ,, well let's just say is not the poster country for human rights and freedoms ,, and their labor laws well ,,, do they have any ?
And in the pic you can see the miss aligned nail in one of his cases ,, pointing out he doesn't have to worry one bit about me buying one of his cases
