I would like to see this thread end. I'm thankful to all who responded and for the positive comments that many have posted here concerning me and my pool hall. I do consider myself a pool supporter and would like to see the sport grow. I take things personally when they are said about my business. I do this because I have worked very hard to build my business. I try my best to be on the correct side of situations but I occasionally say or do something that I wish later I could have handled differently.
Pat Hall - You are a class act and I am thankful for your comment.
This thread shows some of the negative aspects of the sport. I don't want the focus to be on that. Besides one incident, the tournament was a success. A very strong field filled with up and coming players and many players from years past. I looked around the pool hall on Saturday and I saw so many people that I considered my friends. I really enjoyed the day.
Joe - I don't believe we will ever be friends but we can stop bashing each other. I will do so on my end. When I see you next time I will refund you your money for the tourney. I may sometime take you up on matching up. I gotta get some practice in first. For me it wouldn't be a personal thing, just action.
Once again thanks for the support from my friends.
Thanks - Jeremy
