NO Match for Harriman/Schmidt

WHOA!!!! - 360 degrees/full circle - this is about settling it on the table, professionally, best PLAYER wins.

TAR - SCHMIDT v HARRIMAN



as for the other "FEMALE" BS insinuations - "WE" CAN HOLD OUR OWN:


....I knew it was ______ when you wrote about it originally, but Danielle does not have clean hands in this. I agree they were toxic to each other. Danielle tried to engage in a physical altercation with me in Valley Forge and Turning Stone. I was able to evade her, as I'm not into fisticuffs. She went after me, poundnig on our hotel door, telling me to come out into the hallway so she could fight me. It was quite upsetting for me as a woman in her fifties dealing with a 6-foot-plus Amazon threatening me with violence. :(

______ does have a past, but I would venture to guess many of us have done things in our past that we wish we had not. I am not defending a man hitting a woman, but I am putting it out there, since you did, that this woman seemed to have a desire to engage in physical altercations at the drop of a hat.....
 
Regardless, of the side drama (and Geez, is there something in the water?)...

If people here want to call Str8/Kimberly a saint - so be it.

If people want to call Mark a victim - so be it.

This is entirely my quasi-educated opinion after spending hours & hours on the phone with both parties. I think Str8 is such a small company with niche experience, and they wanted to branch out. How many employees do they have? Where's their warehouse and office?. They're small! Perhaps this relationship with Mark turned out to be more than they figured on and cared to handle.

Dealing with juniors vs pro's is like handling a stick of butter vs a stick of volatile dynamite. You sometimes have to get your hands dirty with the pro's - the negotiations are a time consuming b1tch - like convincing a 4 year old it's time for bed after 3 candy bars - perhaps Str8 didn't anticipate that. I would hate to think Str8 learned so much from Mark they felt they could do it better/cheaper and exaggerated circumstances to dump him. Sorry, but I have to wonder.

I don't know, but as this thread has now leaned to Str8 is surely in the right - just saying - it's not that cut and dry. But hey, they were the employer, it's their right. I think Mark probably underestimated this endeavor and wished he'd done things differently. He probably still acted as the lone ranger and presented complications.

There's many inconsistencies in this saga, trust me. But NO ONE is the devil here. Str8 is doing some GREAT things. I think they just underestimated things and cut bait.

I sincerely hope the best for Str8-Shots and their wonderful mission to help many people. And I hope Mark can pick up the pieces quickly. And I hope we're all the wiser.

JMHO, food for thought

Mark got the short end of the stick for sure. Get hired as team manager, recruit and sign top name talent, field a full squad, only to be shit canned once all the hard work was done... No way he was let go due to the Schmidt/Harriman match, that was just perfect timing to trim the payroll. I may be wrong, but who knows? I may be right...

Face it, they have an antiquated econo website. Their contact info is a PO Box, so they don't have a brick and mortar store that's open to the public. And by accounts here they're donating money to kids.... I've tried searching every choice of words on google; pool billiard cues, billiard supplies, dart supply, etc.... I kept checking the next button on every search phrase and page after page of results their webpage never came up one time in the results. If your page isn't coming up on the first page of every search you're not going to make squat..... Hell, if you're outside of the top 3 or 4 you're not going to do very well. I would quit after about 6-7 pages of results. Buried that deep I'll guarantee you they're not making a dime. Someone is firing a lot of money at the players and kids and not have a nickel coming back in. It's great that someone is willing to invest $ in the kids and players, it really is, and its their money to blow how ever they want. This has to be a house of cards that has to fall once the money dries up. Mark was just the first step, IMO.... I just hope it works out to where the kids and players get paid for a long time, no matter where the money is coming from. It's just shitty that Mark coincidentally gets canned once the team is built to capacity, and just prior to the holidays no less.

You can all woo at Kimberley's 3-4 press releases of her side of the story but go back and read the posts by her brother the night before... Soak up all the little needles that brother throws at Mark trying to assault his character and reputation. Do brothers get mad as hell and chew nails to protect their own? Hell yes. And they'll talk smack in doing so, especially behind a keyboard... But the shit he said wasn't just him running his trap, it was references he had been told first hand. Mark is for sure the victim here, no matter how its spun.
 
like Tony Chohan selling hundreds of pounds of pot? Or wait, like Ronnie Wiseman dumping someone....repeatedly? or wait, like Cliff Joyner constantly stiffing people AND dumping ......repeatedly? Or wait, like Kevin Trudeau robbing old and less intelligent people blind and using some of the money to fund a few pool events? or wait, like the Behrmens always slow rolling on the payouts? or wait, like Barry getting shitfaced on the live stream?

The list goes on and on. This is just a few examples of BLATANT injustices that you've staunchly defended and then cried the same old bullying crap when others have voiced their opinions. But you know that already.

ThIs coming from someone who has been banned at least a half-dozen times with at least SIX DIFFERENT forum identities.

Ronnie Wiseman is a friend, as is Tony Chohan. Of course, I am going to defend them on this forum. I don't know that Ronnie Wiseman dumped. Do you? Were you part of the dump? That's the only way you'd know it for sure. Tony Chohan was set up by a pool player "friend" who happened to be trying to save his own neck from going to prison by turning into a law enforcement snitch. How come nobody mentions the snitch's wrongdoings? I am a Christian woman, and I have forgiven both. Life is too short to hold grudges -- well, for most people. I may have erred in judgment with forgiveness in a few past grudges. You see, for some folks, there's no helping them. They will never change. They are doomed to always have a rotten and nasty disposition, the kind that like to kick people when they're down, all for a good laugh. They get their kicks watching others suffer while they pummel them with assaults, ALWAYS in full view of an audience. Otherwise, they wouldn't utter a peep. It's all for show at the expense of someone else.

I have defended the IPT and Kevin Trudeau against those who rail against the IPT/Kevin as ruining pool. I have never once heralded Kevin's activities on his info commercials, though there are some members of this forum who have done worse, one of them a good buddy of yours. I guess his money that he ripped off of people with poor or no credit in the mortgage market, losing their homes, spends good in your pockets, right? No double standards here, right Tommy? You just like to twist the words around to suit your own desire to flame on this forum.

Not sure about why you associate me with Cliff Joyner, but I like him too. Sorry. I don't know that he's dumped. I've never been a party to it. Have you? That's the only way you'd know for sure if he dumped.

The Behrmans, Barry and Brady, are also friends of mine. I have never stated they were right in not paying, but when somebody posts that he is "fondling his daughter" and is a "drunk," yes, I will once again stand up for a friend when I think what is written is wrong. I'm not a testicle dangler, like some others on this forum.

If I were to dig up all your posts that you have made on this forum in the past, it would give plenty of food for fodder, but I don't have time for it anymore. Quite frankly, you're not worth the effort. I should not have replied in this thread to you, but I ain't going to let a multiple-identitied/banned member posting disseminate his venom for the sole pleasure of tag-teaming and flaming me on this thread. It's amazing how many people like to join forces with the likes of this type of behavior on the forum rather than standing up for what they believe is right. To some, it is fun and brings them pleasure, I guess.

Unlike you, I'm not a follower or one who likes to join a gang of bullies to pummel others for sport. That's a game that people with low-esteem and no self-confidence like to play. It makes them feel better about their own pitiful lives. I stand up for people being bullied or ridiculed by bullies. You seem to be standing on the other side most times, and that's okay for somebody like you, I guess, a multiple-identitied/banned member posting. You can just create another identity, right? I can hold my head up high and look in the mirror just fine. I don't need to stand behind a pack of bullies to feel cute and funny and accepted by others.

Lol. Yeah, I'm good at that.

I like the way PT expresses his displeasure at how the younger generations can speak without indulging in the risibly shrill histrionics some people wallow in, and doesn't seek to repeatedly ram it down the forum's throat until he gets his own way.

He made his point and left it at that.

Lol, look at me, look at me, I'm the victim of bullying again. Save it.

I was simply pointing out that you were in direct contradiction to that clownish statement you made about not sitting by and watching an injustice, when in fact not only do you sit by and watch, but you DEFEND all of the low life, shitty moves and criminal deeds of people and then cry victim when the majority has a different opinion than you.

I also have no clue what the hell you keep squawking about with the banned multiple identitied stuff and my friend who cheated people on mortgages.

And the reason you don't stand behind a pack of bullies, as you call them, is because youre usually in the overwhelming minority with your opinions and defense of the worst pool has to offer and there's nobody to stand with you! It's ok though, I mean you can always cry victim even when it's your million posts a day that are in the minority opinion and are usually directed at someone to get under their skin or provoke them. You are a sad individual indeed.

Thank you for the compliment. To be a "sad individual" in your eyes of someone like you is the best praise I can receive from someone of your caliber. Oh, thank the good Lord for that. I appreciate the divide. :)
 
Can't we all have group cue sex without being concsious?

Oh heck, I think I just described pool in a Nut-Shell.

Happy Turkey Pre-weekend to us furry critters.

It's amazing how some people cry foul, cry sexism, point at hanging sex organs and label those as bullies when they're being strongly disagreed with and they're never banned themselves.

It seems that being a hyper-contrarian, inciting forum arguments and then crying foul is a great strategy here.

I'm looking to date a WPBA player...so if there are any out there who are cute and single. ..let me know. Maybe then I'll get an exemption like "they who shall not be named."

If anyone disagrees with the above....stop bullying me.

It's rarely cut and dry, right?

Your perspective SAW - you're someone who has EARNED voice over decades - I listen to you. Usually, you don't play the donkey ;) , nor dog the 9 ball.

Question for the masses on AZ:

Is this @ Mark? Is this @ Str8-Shots? Is this a micro-cosm of pool? Or is this @ donkeykong entertaiment?

I gotta pull the ejection handle when I'm being over-the-top facetious and some random fly-by guy thinks I'm actually saying I'm being bullied.

I'm surrounded by short buses with tinted windows, all rev'ing their engines.
