No it doesn't. Many big-time and small-time conservatives are relinquishing their support for Bush....Buckley, Buchanan, and others have many disagreements with Bush, a NeoConservative, aka socialist/imperialist. There is a big difference...a hugh difference!
Just keeping things in context, here.
Cuedoctor, try integrating these facts without bias and with some room for change, as each of us makes many mistakes in our worldview. It is better to allow for, and accept, mistakes, because if you don't you're being dishonest with your thinking and that leads away from happiness.

Personally, I gloat when I win, and I pout when I lose.
Been doing a lot of pouting lately.

There is a pool player in town that is paranoid like that, constantly telling people around the pool hall to "be quiet" because they are sharking him. It's not like they are doing it on purpose, they are just doing what people in the pool hall do.......have fun or at least try to. He thinks everyone is out to get him and everything bugs him, he is a great player but ostracizes himself due to his behavior.
The one common denominator with him and Earl? They both smoke a prodigious amount of weed. Drugs affect everyone differently, but from personal experience this may be a possible cause for the similar behavior.

How can u say that they were clapping because Ralph had a dry break? May be they are clapping for arrival of their hero coming to the table just like before the President of USA enters US congress ,a guy comes before him and says loudly here he,here he,here he and after that everybody gets up and claps.Efren is their President equivalent.
strickland is the man
we are warriors in the heat of the moment.these spectators know he is sensitive to sharking tactics but they still try to push buttons.I am glad Earl won the match so people will just leave him alone.ther are extraverts and introverts.Earl is an introvert.He is there to play (not be treated poorly)

I hear ya....think about what would have happened had they cheered like that if it was Earl playing Efren and Earl came up dry on the break...pool balls, sticks, and who knows what would have been flying...LOL.
I guess your opponent sitting in the following positions wouldn't distract you? These are pictures from the match with Souquet. Also, on numberous occassions, Earl complained to people in the crowd about Ralf playing too slow. The fact was, Ralf wasn't playing too slow. Earl just wasn't playing well and he was trying to shark Ralf.Cameron Smith said:

Nope, just jumped in to point out how totally silly your comments about no athletes in Europe in Asia. I'd suggest you speak only for yourself, many have heard of these worlds-best athletes. Ignorance is not something to be proud of.

No it wouldn't, and it obviously didn't distract Souqet. I would be thinking "my opponent seems to have no confidence now, finish him off." And I am sure that is what Ralf was thinking too.
We all know Earl would want tournaments to have a 10 or 15 second shot clock, Ronnie O'Sullivan feels the same way. There are a few times in the match that Ralf dragged it along, it was not painfully slow, but slower than Earl would want.
How many people on this forum have offered this advice about slow players "don't watch them!". That is what Earl did with Ralf.
Poor sportsmanship should result in a fine of somekind!
Fine him ,suspend him, but do not permanently revoke his card THIS TIME.
Should he misbehave again suspend him again or revoke his card.
Earl needs help. He needs counseling and he needs to be medicated. If he is already on medication he needs more of it, or possibly different medication.
ruk

In this match Earl was acting like a complete ass and it was very disruptive; but you are right, Ralph did not let it affect him. I might add that if Earl were paying attention, he might have analyzed two racks a lot better. In two instances Ralph pushed out, Earl hurriedly declined to shoot without giving much thought, and in both instances Ralph made the shot and ran out the racks. Knowing Earl is as good a shotmaker as anyone, had he put a little effort out, and perhaps watched the match and accepted the pushout, he would have had those two games. In conclusion, if you act like an ass and don't pay attention, it will bite you in the ass.
