I am glad someone finally brought this up. I have wanted to start a thread regarding how Azbilliards has become like a Fatboy worship circus, but I am too new, and my opinion is not quite respected yet. But, he is someone who just took up pool a year ago( by his admission), and the fact that he was willing to spend 3 grand to enter the ring game at DCC, is like me buying a soda at the store. It was a whim, and he decided to do it because he can afford to lose 3 G's without noticing. I personally believe that for Fatboy, pool is just a phase he will grow out of. But, for the moment, he has found a group of people who believe in him, and want him to do well, here on AZ. Every person, rich or not, wants the exact same thing. The difference is, Fatboy has a LOT of money, which for some people is the same thing as having character.
P.S. Fatboy, I read your post where you bragged about not going to your mother's funeral, and actually going to work that day. You related this story as a testament to how much heart YOU had (and people with true heart never brag on themselves), but I found your lack of emotion quite inhuman. You tell a lot of stories about how cool you are, but having listened to your commentary on TAR at the Derby, and your resultng excuses for why you sucked so badly (real AZer's are following me here) prove that maybe you're just a rich guy who was never cool, who hopes money can buy him friends.
My rep will probably plummet after this post, but someone had to say what at least some of us are thinking.
