I'm with you Rick.. I think the personal issues should have zero to do with the tournament. I've never had any issues with Truman, have always gotten along with him quite well.
At the same time, I feel John B is a great guy that has worked very hard to be the best bank pool player in the world IMHO. He should be allowed to play. I hope this gets worked out one day as I enjoy watching him and having the chance to compete against him as well.
The whole scenario makes me sad!
