What I Think

[catscradle]

I think that Fast Larry has served enough penance and should once again be allowed to post at AzBilliards. Thoughts ? (NO,I haven't lost my mind and YES,I'm sober....... Doug

Judging from this and your post over on RSB you seem to be of the opinion that FL's disease is in remission and he should be allowed back into polite society. Not only no, HELL NO!!!!
1. Even if he is in remission, there is no predicting when he will backslide. More likely though it will be sooner rather than later.
2. I don't care if he never misbehaves again, he has done enough in the past to justify his ostracism FOREVER!!

Most people would classify me as too soft and forgiving on people, but Larry has gone too far in his psychosis.
JMHO.

Completely off topic, but your avatar is awesome.

With that avatar and the reference to RSB it can only be RIPP. Is that you George?

That's the silliest suggestion I've heard for quite a while. I don't care if you're sober or not, you are out of your mind. While FL may have a few interesting tidbits of information now and then, he does not seem to interact well on the boards/forums. leave him to his own site. And, also, I would tend to not put much credence in your suggestion that he has served his penance. Think of it this way Doug, what would happen to Fast Larry if he flew off the handle in person and in front of one of his favorite target groups ? Getting back into a pool forum would be the least of his worries.

Well, Mike Tempelton and Mike Howerton are two completely diffrent people..thus the diffrent last names. One is a loser poster... much like myself, the other is the owner/ admin of this web site. So I don't know what is that suprising.

Right. I got confused by some of the other posters who were
obviously confused and... well, you get the idea. Sorry.

Ok, Ok, I was wrong. It's apparent by Fast Larry's recent posts that he is not yet ready to return to AzB. I had hoped he'd put his demons behind him. Maybe oneday he'll be ready to once again join AzB.
I hope that I live that long. I'm sorry that I wasted everyone's time.

I'm going to my room.... Doug

Just remember everyone, it is the Billiards Digest Board who you should be asking. Mike is just the messenger. I will repeat: MIKE HAS NO SAY SO IN THIS WHATSOEVER.

I will venture to say that in my opinion Mike has multiple aliases he uses to bash Fast Larry. Am I the only one who sees this?!!!!!!!! You folks need to wake up!!

LMFAO...Let me guess, there are aliens, the Loch Ness monster is real, Santa Claus really exists and Dolly Partens boobs are real? Its just another conspirousy theory. Its no great secret what I think of FL, do I think he will ever calm down enough to be an asset to this board? Not until he stops seing monsters under the bed. I can't see that happening anytime soon.

Hate to burst your bubble on that one Whitewolf. I have never bashed Larry under any alias on here or on any other site or newsgroup. To be honest, I just stopped caring very much about him when I finally dumped him off here for the final time.

I have swapped email with Smorg and he brought Larry's attempt at turning over a new leaf to my attention. When I received the email from Larry asking to be brought back, I was just finishing up my local newspaper and didn't respond to him. I also wanted to think about the request and not just say 'no' as knee jerk reaction.

Within 24 hours, Larry was back to posting his same old crap on RSB and my decision was made for me.

Let me make it perfectly clear though that I make the decisions here and Luby Publishing makes the decisions at BD.com. I am simply someone they hired to maintain their site. They decide what is done there. Larry is the only person that I have instructions to remove if and when he ever pops up over there.

Larry has made a lot of claims over at RSB about me and they are just about as valid as his trick shot claims. He claims he did a "CPU trace" to prove that I was APA7. As you well know, IP addresses are not public here. So he didn't do an IP trace. So, what exactly did he trace? And where is the result of this 'CPU trace'? He must certainly have results from some amazing software that says that my CPU matches APA7's. But he has never produced anything. Of course, his fans just bow at his feet and repeat "Mike is APA7 because the wizard told us so".

Larry knows about as much about computers and tracking people as I know about shooting masse shots. And that ain't much.

So, to sum it up for you...

I am not APA7.
I am not Splinterhands. (Who was just banned the other day).
I am not any of the other users who are bashing Larry.
Larry is not coming back to AzB in any way, shape or form.

The more I read your posts and see how you run this site, the more respect I have for your judgement AZhousepro.

Kind of sucks you have to repeatedly deal with the FL thing popping up.

Splinterhands was a clown and won't be missed either. Every one you've booted as long as I've been on this site has deserved it and the site is better with them gone.

TAP TAP TAP!!!

Mike,

Unfortunately, I think you're wasting bandwidth responding to WW. He's not going to give up his conspiracy theory just because you provide a factual accounting.

No, No Whitewolf, you need to wake up! You the new president of the FL fan club? How did you wrestle that job away from FL? I said this once before, you can clean the dog shit off the carpet, but it's still gonna smell for awhile. That is how I feel about this whole FL situation. The guy is a creep, 100%. I also think anyone who buys his BS is ignorant.
Keep up the good work Mike, you have been doing a great job so far.

I am not Splinterhands. (Who was just banned the other day).

I had no idea he was banned until this post. I had him on ignore. I felt it was easier to not have to deal with him and I can honestly say that I never once went to Mike and complained about him or anyone on the board for that matter. However, rumor has it that SH (interesting how the initials for his login could also be used for shithead) is over at the dreaded RSB blaming yours truly & a few others for his getting banned. I guess the things he said and the way he said them was all of our faults, we did the typing for him. Anyway, thanks again Mike for making this a better place. Sorry I stirred the pot and made it to where you had to come babysit.

Anybody who tries to spoof people with claims of a 'CPU trace' obviously has absolutely no IT skills. Anybody who is knowledeable enough to attempt to perform any kind of trace with IP wouldn't call it a 'CPU trace'.
