IMO, talking negative about anyone, or anything in pool started years ago in poolrooms. If you saw a friend getting hustled and didn't have a chance...you mind your own business. Even if you know he is going to lose his wife and family and the house.
If you know someone is air barreling...say nothing.
Someone moves the balls while the other players in bathroom...say nothing.
You know a con artists selling "the silver bullet" to new players...say nothing.
1000's of pool players and fans are getting screwed by a greedy few...don't you dare say anything but good things about them. Johnnyt
