What Type of Cueist Are You & Why Do You Think Your Way is Best?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That would only apply if one were digging to start with.

Who might you see digging themselves into a hole?

Since there was no commentary along with the posting of that pic & given the recent tone & tenure & to whom most of his recent posts are to or about,

I would take that to be more of a physical threat directed at me.

Sort of like, 'Dig your grave, because I/we are going to bury you.

What do you think?

Best Wishes.

Rick, it's always a veiled attempt to discredit "instructors" with you, and it has been for some time.

I don't get it. And no, you don't have to explain it to me.

One last thing, something I'm sure matters very little to you. When Keeb comes on here and posts, he gets lot's of peoples attention. He has a history here. Same as a great many others. When they talk about "defending" AZB, there is a reason. It is a community. OUR community. One that has been built over time.

We've gotten to know each other. We talk about things, silly things and not-so-silly things. We argue. But it is our "family" with whom we are arguing. I can tell you for certain that no matter how much I've seen Neil and PJ argue over the years, both of them would admit this is "our family". For better and for worse.

Well over 10 years for many of the regulars. Many virtual miles traveled together, lots of water under that bridge. Lot's of things discussed, very few resolved, and still we come here, to share our love of this game.

There is no conspiracy against you, specifically. But when you come into this house, and run roughshod over thread after thread, taking shots at long-time and well-respected members of this community, you will get the response that you have seen.

Why you continue to instigate that response is beyond me, and most others here, as is evident. When you started here, I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, figuring you had little experience in a forum culture. You've been here long enough now that you ought to be able to see how things work.

Last thing, before you go and inform me how much professional help I need..... Understand this. You have done the one thing that no one else has, in the long history of AZB, and the RSB board before that..... you have gotten a group of people including Neil, PJ, Lou, Keeb, Sean, Scott and many, many others to agree on something. So I suppose you have accomplished something.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna regret posting this. :p

***edit*** I've been "full-rep' for years, and I can't make three balls. Getting rep from someone who is "full-rep" means very, very little.

yea right....its always funny....i cant believe he bragged about rep. I mean I just said about the 4 in 1 because he was all little miss priss hands on here hips and shakin em

"i gots rep!"

and you know what....your very right, because none of us have ever had consensus.....maybe if we would get together and cook we would alll like the food but yea.....rick the destroyer really forged a new bond and brother hood between us all i think....lol

and i dont really think its a crusade that captain insaneo is going to see through.....

i mean he says people are making threats, and then does the same exact thing and acts like tommy boy.....huh mee nooooooooo

Rick,
You're right about greyghost's reply to post # 40 and you're reply to him that set things off and prevented me from posting, for the simple reason that it was obvious you two had a history which I'm not privy to.

Greyghost says, " You can't give new students the whole world. You can't scare the shit out of them." That makes sense to me.

Rick, I suspect what you have a problem with is when greyghost's says that sometimes he and his fellow instructors withhold information from students "For their own good."

OK Rick.....if it's reasonable to withhold information from beginners for their own good, I'll assume there is a point in the development of the student where you believe they should be educated in their options of how and what they want to learn, and you believe that grey ghost and some of his colleagues are making these decisions for them, to the detriment of the student.

The thing is, I can't make a judgement as to who is right or wrong because both of you are making references to having already argued out the issues in MUCH more detail in previous threads.

I, and other posters, who might have some thoughts on these issues, are forced to stay on the sidelines, because we may not have read these previous threads, and hence, don't really know where the battle lines are drawn.

I just can't seem to get a handle on exactly WHAT is being argued about!

So Rick; if you'd tell us WHAT type of information you believe instructors such as grey ghost are withholding from students, and WHEN this information should be given to students, I'll listen to greyghost's reply and maybe I'll have an opportunity to chime in.

As I said, I agree with you on most things. I think it's a shame you're getting attacked mercilessly. Maybe if more posters had the issues and points of division clearly mapped out before them, they'd discover you are justified in your opinions more often then they believed

here ya go buddy. If you go to the actual channel of mine there are the psr stuff. the videos from quite some time before i met scott, there were two parts, both videos were lost off the net around the time i moved to oregon and Mr. English joined this site.....Ingo had #1 downloaded on his PC over in germany, and sent it to me.....wonder if english is some schmuck i beat in new orleans prior...you know how the dead bodies stack up over the years, especially the cheap ones lol....that stalked me out on the net, deleted the vids off youtube, then came after this very board to destroy it too......

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1cbNaD96M4&ab_channel=GreyghostPool

by the way before this video just fell of the faceof the earth......the number of views for its age was kind of stupid....when we first released it, for a pool video....it kind of went viral. I've been all around the country and been sheepishly embarrassed in a good way many times with people at pool halls "HEY....arent you the greyghost".....some i make laugh if they have been on here long enough with "how could i be, isnt he black?" lol Last i knew it was seen in over 60 countries and i forget how many languages, it was kind of silly.........i got and get emails and calls from people from all over the world, no joke.....and it all started with thatvideo.

Another thing you dnt know is that my compatriot, who is also EXTREMELY WELL KNOWN....my best friend, whos learned tons from me and he and his whole family are a billiards family today, grandma, grnadpa, mom dad son daughter.......he was forcefollow on here....and on youtube. He got tons of info from myself and others on here and he would make some great videos....his site went down but he was kicking the living hell out of everyone, inside pools stuff was paltry compared.....he is cuestudent now.....you know how many people he's helped?

You probably dont know who he is becuse it all against probably what ya pappy said.....and pappy aint never wrong y'eard lol

I can send you a private link (elroy or anyone else who wants it....except for voldemort obviously) to a video where a brand new player, been playing i think just over a month (ever) and in 15:45 went from doing a basic spot shot like a dog.....to learning some new walk in and slide techniques and many other things....to stroke the spot shot for position blind.....eyes closed after a set position......PENDULUM stroke..... v grip.....and you can see his progression in 15:45......missses bad bad, then less and less and less....each time im looking and watching and then telling him new stuff....i'll need your email because i'm not posting it to the board for arsewipe to watch.



regards,
Keebie

You may be the most adept at displaying blind hypocrisy.

How's that?

How about one that lives in a glass house with skeletons in his glass closets for all to see should not throw stones?

Perhaps some of you should follow the advice of Satorie & just "Let E be!".

your level of ignorance is adept....if this site were the libraries of alexandria for pool information......your bull had some great philosophers whole dedicated wing burned to ashes....by the author, and i dont blame him.




i dont even think Eddie Wheat was nearly as bad as you....he just stole peoples money. Your like the hillary clinton of this board and that was your benghazi.....

you should be proud. and I'm sure you really am.

Sadly Rick, it appears that anyone who dares disagree with you automatically becomes labelled "a bully".

If you knew anything about me, you would know that being a bully is about the last thing I will ever be.

I listed off several notable forum members here, all of whom have contributed to this community for over a decade. Many of them disagree with each other on a variety of subjects, sometimes rather vehemently. Yet you would consider them to all be part of some super secret click here.....that is, shall we say....unlikely.

You also note that my little list is a small percentage of the readership here. That is true. I could very well have generated a rather large list of forum regulars over the years for you, I was simply highlighting but a few of the more prominent participants of our community. The one thing about that list of folks is that no matter how much they disagree on specific topics here, I firmly believe they all understand and respect each others love of this game. These folks all are respected members of this community. I have learned a lot from them, and value them and their generous advice greatly.

I do not believe anything that I have pointed out here would show traits of being a bully. Even if it isn't to your particular liking.

As far as respected, longtime members of the community go, whose participation I personally value, I would add your name, dub.

As to whatever else is going on in this thread, it's very much like the one guy in the pool room who has to interrupt every conversation because he knows more than anyone else and has to always be right, yet can never match up with anyone -- no matter how outrageous the spot offered -- because "people are always trying to rob him."

It's not worth the effort.

It is YOU that shows YOUR .... well... certain things are not allowed to be said on AZB.

The totally illogical & irrational & very time consuming process of going back & erasing what I would think were posts in the thousands had NOTHING to do with me & was done prior to me being a member of AZB.

The motive for doing that was... well again... certain things are not allowed to be said on AZB.

So do not try to saddle that on me.

I'll just stop there because as I said certain things are not allowed to be said on AZB.

Are you sure you are not related to him... as you exhibit very many of the same traits & what seems to be habits.

You know Rick, you keep bringing up me erasing a lot of posts like it has some merit or something to some non-point you are trying to make. Funny part is, you have thousands of post that are just dots or arrows. Posts that never have said anything. At least the ones I erased had good content at one time. :rolleyes:

Thanks Lou. I appreciate that.

On the rest of your post, I completely agree.

By this point, he's probably done that more than the number of posts you erased. :D
 
As I said before Neil, I think your erased posts still contain better content than Ricks novels.

Note to Rick, no green text.

Searching my posts, I can only see the last 1,000 anyways. So, it doesn't matter if they are erased or not. But, if someone can get to the old threads, a lot of my erased posts can still be seen in quotes from someone else in the same thread. Can't say that for posts that never said anything to start with.

You can choose reverse-time sort order, so only the oldest 1000 will appear, I think, and use various other tricks such as search words to get past the 1000 limit.

Who are you, At Large version 2.0?

You know the best part of that thread is Jay "quoting" Neil when he predicted the future.

Don't worry Neil, I memorized all your old posts. :wink:
Did you want the one from July 2, 2008 or perhaps the one from Feb. 4, 2007?
I particularly liked your post of April 16, 2006 where you said, "Abundant english is redundant english." Remember that one. :rolleyes:
