Mike Janis has become more argumentitive and confrontational. From calling Grady ass:

Grady, you are an ASS. I did your Grand Opening Event and we added $2,000 to that event. We had a special deal on that event and I only did that because you were one of the 1st Pro's I ever met that took anytime to talk to me when i was coming up. I know you don't remember but it was at the AOP in Cleveland, OH and after your exhibition your were doing $5 challenge games and if the opponent won they received a Polaroid picture of you and that player. I still have my picture, at least until I can find my lighter.

Stick it buddy, have a nice day and good luck in the future. You need it more that most just to make up for your personality.

Yours Truly,

Mj

UPDATE: Mark G. It appears that you have no morals at all. Your latest stunts of sending emails to my sponsors and to web site editors is exactly what you are known for, Back Room Politics with a Run and Hide little weasel attitude. Everyone "on the in" knows what you have done and who you are and how individuals with your record should be treated. I have remained silent and kept much of this under wraps for way too long but the next round will shine the light on you. Unfortunately the pro's mind you a little because of your monetary influence but I assure you they are talking. Especially about how you got some ideas that you call your own.

Good day.

Three strikes, you're out.
People wonder whats wrong with pool. I believe its too much of this kind of stuff. Mike J isnt the only one
 
Kind of a strange post Chris. I get why MJ addressed Grady and apparently something is shaking with him and Mark. I don't follow your third example (hard to follow in that pasted format).

Not sure if you have ulterior motive on this one or if there's something I (we) should be deriving from this negative post about negative things in pool...
 
Not to be rude...

Chris,

I am not sure why you think posting this will have a positive effect on pool. It seems like you are stirring the pot to get a reaction from MJ. If you read the post carefully you will see why the things were said in a public forum. You have been registered since May and have less than 50 posts. My suggestion to you would be to wait and see what transpires before you cast judgement. I mean you no disrespect, just being informational here.

Welcome to the zoo, by the way

I dont see what the number of posts I have on here have anything to do with it. Anyways, You always see things here about whats wrong with pool. I just think things like this should be hashed out outside of the public eye. If you read the post I said he isnt the only one. I mean its ok to disagree but to call someone an ass and a weasel IMO is a little unproffesional, Especially form a voting member of the BCA.
 
Mike might be a little edgy right now.

I noticed a little extra crankiness yesterday, but he posted yesterday that it was his first day without smoking. As an ex-smoker (for now) I completely understand this.

Not making excuses, just a little understanding.

And I do think your number of posts shows that you really shouldn't go around shouting "off with their heads" until you've been around a little longer.

Well, I agree with you and think some things are best left unsaid, but on the other hand MJ was called out in public and he spoke up stating his thoughts. It seems that Grady has many issues that reach far back into the past and is quite inflamatory at times. I understand your need and desire for decorum, I feel like that as well. If you call somebody out in public, I think you have every right to present your side as well. We are family here and much like flesh and blood familys... stuff happens.

The number of posts you have contributed don't have anything to do with your thoughts on this matter. I jumped the gun and thought, a newbie speaking from whence not he knew. My apologies to you,

Dwight
 
I'm calling BS on this thread. I don't know Mike from a hole in the wall, but I do know that its really easy to take a bunch of posts out of context and slap them together to paint whatever picture you want to of someone.
 
You forgot this tidbit:

Mr. Wilson said:
Just an FYI guys, Mike Janis is complaining that I allowed this post ( in the TAR area no less........and his announcements were moved.


Just thought I'd share, since he wanted me to know that I'm not "God".

Maybe some insight on what goes on behind the scenes.

Nice. even Mr. Wilson wants to misguide the truth.

I used that thread as an anology because he stated that my contest did not belong on the Main Page forum. This took effect during our PM's (nice to know MR Wilson that you do not view PM's as private) on why he felt it necessary to remove my posts and or move them to different forum sections. I never complained about that post, I just used it as an anology as to why my post was valid.

Chris,

First off, Grady is an ass! And he has been for well over a decade that I know of. It's not the first time I've said it and it probably won't be the last. He used to be a great player, IS a great commentator, IS a great teacher of the game but he is a self centered egomaniac. If he would stick to commentating and teaching he would be doing his legacy a favor..... One word describes him, bitter.

As for Mark Griffin, I don't know the guy and from what I have heard he is a good guy and most of all, good for the game. But come on and admit it, there are some striking similarities between Marks plan and Mikes tour structure isn't there? And being a BCA league operator, isn't there a chance you're a bit biased in Mike and Marks tiff?

I don't understand why you would pick out one of the very few people who is working their butt off for pool. And not just to line their pockets right now. Especially when the majority of the incidents you refer to involved someone else saying something, and Mike responding. Out of his how many thousands of posts do you find these, lol. So what exactly is YOUR reasoning behind calling a person out?
