Naysayers Slipping...
...for all their expertise in picking apart the potential of the IPT why aren't those same nitpickers jumping on the new obvious target? The target is up. That target being the possiblity of a poolplayers union being formed to better organize the sport. A vehicle to protect the players from being scammed one more time. Where is that skill for venomous vitriolic verbage? (I love alliteration)...come on guys/gals let us get the ball rolling...
there is no chance in hell that you can herd the 'cats of pool' into an organized union. The image that comes to mind is:

Now that the cats are corralled try and collect the monthy dues.......Hey, this is fun being a naysayer....

Witches brew or not, IMO you're a complete piece of trash, and you know I owe you that (for your obvious cheap shot during Deno's live chat a few months back). That night I went directly to Mike and I had promised him that I would remain respectful with my questions and comments, and you took the opportunity to ask Deno a question that was directed at me and my opinion of the IPT. I got hit between the eyes that night and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. Nice cheap shot. I was unable to respond because it was a moderated chat, and because I kept my word to Mike. What you did was intentional and possibly premeditated. I haven't forgot about that, so now I will take THIS opportunity to respond to you.
I think you're an idiot. You operate on the lowest level that society has to offer and you probably belong there. Some people are just predestined and wired to be that way. In the future, don't ever make the error of mistaking my kindness for weakness, or clasifying my politeness as a lack of backbone. I just may surprise you.
Everything Deno said in response to your "naysayer" question turned out to be a complete LIE. Who looks silly now? Everything Kevin said to the players during the players meeting in Reno was pure BS from beginning to end. The players were lied to. Who lied to them? Me? That's what Deno, Kevin, and Mike have been selling to the players for the past year - saying that I have been lying to them. That I was ineffective in meeting their needs. That Kevin's money was the silverbullet that they needed - not my rhetorical criticism of his tour. I was to be ignored. Kevin has publicly and privately classified me and everybody else that disgreed with his thinking as losers. That is how he classifies all pool players, not just me. To you and others, it's okay if KT feels that way as long as he pays the big bucks. If you can overlook that in exchange for celebrating about his money, then you have no heart, no backbone, and no sense of pride. FWIW, that is what separates winners from losers, its what's in your heart, not what's in your bank account. You first have to have a heart to realize that.
FYI, the players are uniting because they were ripped off again by another big shot with empty promises. If you find something funny about that (under any circumstances) then in my book you're a POS. Some will probably say that I shouldn't have said that in this forum, but I just call it the way I see it. If the moderators want to penalize me for saying this to you, I'll say beforehand that I know its wrong, but its my judgment call to post this anyway because I feel this needs to be said publicly. You went out of your way to try to make me look silly - publicly, and that is where you'll get my response. I won't apologize for that comment because it was heartfelt and sincere - and above all else - its the truth.
Either find a way to help out with this mess, that is - only if you have the firepower, intelligence or influence - or shut up and watch those that do. You may not like me saying that, but who really cares what you think? You're just a cartoon with a silly name. A "nobody" trying to converse with the people that know what's really going on. In the process, you look even dumber than you seem initially.
