What difference does it make? Why do you care who posts? The forum is there for everyone, including you, to use this poll, to somehow justify your passing judgement on him? Has he offended you? If so, explain it please.
Very good question ?
17,938 post!!! That's all? I hope CoCo is still here till he reaches 100,000!!
I'll jump on the bandwagon here. If he is to be banned then why shouldn't anyone else be banned. The only thing that I've seen that he's done that I was suspicious about or at the very least concerned with could of been his motives behind adding every new subscriber as a "friend". AND I mean all and every new subscriber, WTF is up with that.
I've noticed that each thread has it's own monitor, why aren't these people doing there jobs if it looks in the least bit offensive to the general people ? More to the point, why are all the pale skinned pinko commie **** coming out of the wood work for the one thing that chimes your bell? I thought that in the very least people here would be able to keep a poker face in the face of their opponent, I guess I was wrong. I thought the one thing that "separates the men for the boy's, or the woman from the girl's, is that you are better then that and can take whatever they can deliver and still be standing. JMHO

In forum culture, sometimes posters will often target those who the bullies don't like. I am not saying that that is the case with this thread, but I am saying that it happens often.
The easiest group to fit in with is the cyber bullies. Whoever they don't like, these posters will often create threads or post mean-spirited words towards the target du jour, hoping to fit in with the cyber bullies.
I have had occasion to meet a physically beautiful lady on the tournament trail. I truly thought she was striking upon first glance. She was always very courteous and sweet to me each time we met. I always wondered why she was not taken at her age. After I read a few of her words on forums targeting those who the bullies don't like, I soon realized, you know, beauty really is only skin deep. She's now the ugliest person I've ever met on the tournament trail, and I now understand why she remains single.
Some people do enjoy hurting folks on the forum, even going so far as to create a troll identity, so they can write vulgarities and other nasty things about their target.
I have a little more experience with life in general than most readers of this forum. In the end, we should feel sorry for cyber bullies and their followers. We should pray that they find true happiness someday within their life. It took me many years to come to this realization.
Healthy people don't hurt people. Hurt people hurt people.

The Main Forum can be all is. He loves it and I would not take it away from him.
But the action room is the action room. I don't think he should be interjecting his irrelevant comments into the negotiations between a
couple of players over a challenge when he has no dog in the fight.
I also don't think he should be knocking player's action or speed.
This was always old time pool room etiquette. It's a pool room tradition.
Cowboy is not a gambler, a money player, or a tourney player. When he tries to get involved in the action room he is acting like a nit. He should mind his own business which is recreational play. There is nothing wrong with that.
He is not the Action Room police. He kills action.

I want to know who it was that mentioned fish dicks.
Don't you realize that this is a family oriented forum. And what, pray tell does a fish's appendage have to do with CC? I, for one, have come to his defense on at least one occasion and have always thought his heart was in the right place. Maybe not his brain, but at least his heart.
To label another man a fish dick, in my opinion, is patently and absurdly wrong.
To me it looks like he was just trying to change the subject. And he said "fish STICKS".
Unless I missed something,which is definately possible.....
this whole thing started with NIKON looking for a challenge on the AZB KINGS sub-forum of the Action Room. Cowboy hijacked the thread and turned it into a debate on rating systems which is his favorite rant.
The Fish Dick thing was just Trampsteamer trying to remind us all that nothing really matters except who gets our cues when we die.

I wasn't going to comment, however...
First off, ladies, enough of the bickering... you're all pretty...
For crying out loud, as soon as I read Hierovision's original post, I could see where he was going with it. It was a spin on Fatboy's post a short time before. IT WAS A JOKE !!!
It reminded me of the thread some a**h*** posted a couple months ago about, "This Is Why Pool Is Dead" or something along those lines. THAT thread spawned a handful of other 'spoof threads' in regards to wrestling, chess, and a couple of other sports.
It's unbelieveable, though, how many people want to ban Cocobolo Cowboy now that the 'opportunity' has presented itself.
He can stay (not that it's up to me or anyone else posting on this thread). I have no idea who Cocobolo Cowboy (Bruce) is. I've never met him anywhere except here. He's one of the first people to befriend me when I joined this forum.
And I get a chuckle every so often when he throws a few one-liners into a thread.
Let's put it a different way for all the cyber-bullies here... could you look Cocobolo Cowboy in the face and tell him to f*** off ? It's real easy for someone to hide behind a computer screen and run thier 'mouth'.
As I've said before, arguing on the internet is like playing in the Special Olympics...
Seriously... if the mods were concerned, they would have banned him a long time ago.
Go ahead and flame/red rep away... or start a thread to ban me...
Kudos to those who 'want him to stay'. The rest of you need to grow up and get lives.

Personally, I'm astounded the mods have let this thread go as long as it has.
It's mean-spirited at the core. I don't care if someone thinks "it's only a joke, lighten up." I bet it's not too much of a joke to Bruce. (And yes, I knew from the onset that it was a take-off on Fatboys thread. I "get" that. That doesn't take away from the hurtfulness of it all.)
Real easy to sit here on the internet and trash someone just for the sake of doing so. You don't have to face him when you do it, either.
Agree with him, disagree with him, whatever. Put him on ignore if he bothers you so much. Yes, I think his mammoth sig line is annoying, but it isn't cause to get mean-spirited about it.
I don't ever recall seeing Bruce badmouth anyone from here on AZB.
Nice. Class acts we have here. Bullying is an apt description.

Bravo! Apt description!
The mods have ban him before under at least two other monikers he has used.
Both Bruce de li and Pool Sleuth were removed.
He begged admin to let him back.
He obviously has still not learn how to fit in and be less annoying.
Now at the present time I do not feel a ban is warranted.
I do feel that his along with other humongous signatures should be removed.
His blatant advertising for JBcases is very much akin to posting for Shorty. That is what got him banned under the pool sleuth moniker.
He also should be asked to stop all the cut n pasting he does.
If he doesn't maybe some time off is warranted.
His requesting friendship from every new member is not a plus. It is making a mockery of that feature much like what happened to the rep system.
I am withholding my vote with hopes that Coco gets the message this time.
I vote stay. I think ... (not gonna name names since the person will know who I am talking about) ... should go. Anyone that would put something up for sale and then refuse to sell it to someone else because they are a "newbie" should not be a member of az. No I'm not the "newbie" in this situation but since I've only been a member of az for a short time I guess I am a "newbie". Nevermind the fact that I've been around the sport for 16 years. Nevermind the fact that I grew up racking in pool halls for a dime a rack and the chance to have a front row seat at the amazing matches by the old timers just to try and pick up a little knowlege of the game. Nevermind the fact that I've played in pool rooms and tournaments in at least a dozen states. Nevermind the fact that I used to take the time to go play with war veterans at v.a. hospitals to help them pass the time. But hey do keep in mind that since I joined az a short short time ago and have but a handful of post I am in fact a "newbie" by some members standards so what should it matter what I say. Way to be a representative for the sport and for az.

Gee, rackem, maybe we should flag the funny gift/pic thread, too...
While we're at it, let's ban anyone that spells incorrectly...
Gimme a break...
