Well, you’re dancing around it. We all have views, everyone. So are we all polarizing?

It’s amusing that terms like this are never used to describe anyone but someone with conservative leaning views and it’s done to imply a bad connotation to having those views, It reeks of projection.

Meanwhile you never hear anyone with conservative leaning views refer to those with liberal views as polarizing, when many of those views promote aberrant behavior befitting a reject of the island of misfit toys. Interesting

There are lots of people on the left that are polarizing. You don’t think the mayor of NYC is polarizing?

That doesn’t mean they can’t be an asset to a sport like pool.

If the refs aren’t complaining about soft breaks, I’m not thinking or worrying about it.

My thought on the Matchroom break rules is this:

If you don't dare make a call in the final, even if you think there could be a violation, the rule is poorly written. I would say that in any sport, about any rule that invites the ref to swallow the whistle.

If there is going to be a break rule it should be mathematical (3 point rule) or even about a minimum speed of the cue ball (there are good ways to measure that now). A subjective "that didn't seem hard enough" is terrible and no ref in his right mind wants to call that in a final.
 
Game of inches all right. Both players have loosened up, but they are going to tighten up if it stays close and goes down to the wire. I saw both Yapp and SVB shake in last year’s close Florida Open final.
