Let's all swing from Fatboy

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.

Fatboy did not just take up pool a year ago. He has been around pool for a long time, he just took a hiatus, and only recently (a year or so) got back into the game.

He has chosen to share info about himself pretty freely. I criticized him before about his telemarketing as I don't think that is an honest way to make money. But I have to say, overall, the guy is a good contributor to this board. He was at DCC, participated and had a good time. Nothing wrong with that.
 
Kindergarden?

Sometimes when I read threads like this I think every poster should be obligated to announce his age. That would explain a lot.
Just two questions. Who of all posters have met Fatboy personally? Who of them would tell him his, actually unimportant, opinion in his face? I guess it would be quite quiet (I love this alliteration).
If anyone wants to run me down, I have lost 2k playing Jesper Parnevik in a round of golf. And I knew I would be losing beforehand, but I didn`t care because it was the round of my life. One day those moments will be worth more than 2k to me and I guess Fatboy played that ring game in the same spirit.
@ Enjoy telling your grandchildren one day.

Peace, Tim
