I have no comment to add other than it seems the for/against numbers seem to run about 3 to 1 against Earl's antics/etiquette. Even at 3 to 1, that's a pretty strong fan base!
I imagine your poll was deleted as it was seen as somewhat of a personal attack against someone, even if that someone is not a member of the AZB community.
This gets to be a touchy subject that comes up far too often on the forums.
Without commenting on the subject of Earl's latest problems, I do wish him the best and hope that things will work themselves out for the benefit of American pool in general. I simply do not like to see anyone fighting demons/medical problems.
Your apology was a nice gesture!!!
