This is a pretty nice place to come, and talk about all things pool , to a bunch of other people, who are mostly interested, at some level, in pool.
That being said, far too many of you/us think that what we have to say is important....it's not.
We also think we have rights ....we don't, we are all guests.
We should be able to expect a level of courtesy, but even that, is too much for some people to abide by.
There is a lot that can be learned here and fun to be had , but there are so many people with agendas , that has become a rarity.
I would love to see every single post deleted no matter who wrote it, if there is anything in it at all that is not pool related.
There would be some people who would leave because none of their posts ever stayed on the board , the rest would figure it out and tone it down.
I don't imagine this post will find much favor ,I think too many of you have completely lost touch with reality , but maybe.

I don’t agree with this....pool players tend not to be one trick ponies.
I have spent many hours in some great action pool halls, in three countries....they all had one thing in common...
...when the action was slow, we talked about everything....religion, politics, physics....whatever.
‘Cause a great pool hall is not just for playing pool....it’s a club.

Any room pt hung out in would be a room I'd like to hang out in too.

This isn't a pool room.

The best way to deal with threads that offend your sensibilities is don't read/ignore them. There's quite a bit of non-pool-related material that is interesting/informative. IMHO

If this isn’t a virtual pool hall, what is it?

We are all rail birds without a rail or anything to sweat at the moment.

I always said “I’ll never be a rail bird”…..never say never.

On a virtual rail near you,
Fatboy
