where's mark tad???

[JAM]

If I may interpose a thought about Mark, I had complete empathy for him when he first posted on the forum. He may have jumped into the forum with both feet, eager to participate and enjoy the pool-related topics. He was greeted with some good posts, and some not so very good. I'm sorry to see that he's not posting anymore and think it is a loss to some folks who may be friends with him as well as to those who may be interested to hear what makes a pool player tick from his own words.

Maybe he'll come back someday and receive a good welcome. As one who has suffered at the hands of a repository of sucker-punchers and bullies on the Internet, it's not easy being a "Newbie," and it's even worse if you're a Newbie with the celebrity status of a player like Mark. He was a main figure in the pool world in his time, which is noteworthy AND worthy of respect (IMO).

Definitely JMHO, FWIW!

What???....More important than visiting all of his good buddies on AZ?? Sounds like he might need an overhaul of his priorities, who wants to go on the record books as just a "fair weather friend"?

Well Drivmaker, you know what they say; with friends like this…

 

[MrLucky]

many more....

You may just be right; I would bet that he has more important things to do but that’s only a guess also.

many many more Important things hopefully !

 

[MrLucky]

being friends?

Ahhh yes...a man so full of advice, yet a man with no real answers. I already am influencing you since you continue to respond LOL, but trust me when I say this...we ain't EVER gonna become friends and I think there's a mutual desire for that result, wouldn't you agree? Oooops...that sets you up for a direct answer, that ain't gonna happen either, will it?

I did not come to a internet bulletin board to make "friends" nor did I come here to make enemies! though you seem to try hard to do both I have a life in the real world with enough real friends to suit me, I think as long as you stick to your "FLAME" threads and I stick to my Pool related threads it won't matter much so on that I will leave you to drivel on! I'm sure that a malcontent like yourself that believes his power and mark in life is his ability to screw with others will make at least two or more post in response to try and feel in control LOL! But sir I am done so talk to the hand as they say!

 

[drivermaker]

I think as long as you stick to your "FLAME" threads and I stick to my Pool related threads it won't matter much

Why don't you stick your thumb up your ass, pull it out slowly, and then insert it back into your big mouth like a baby pacifier and suck on it for the rest of the day. Somebody that I respect on this forum PM'd me and said that you might possibly be a decent guy. All I see is a big troublemaking worthless POS. Another stalker that seems to hold a fascination with me and wants to start crap, which you did on one of my first posts since being away for 7 weeks. And now, you have me all figured out as far as who I am and what I need to do. I didn't know you from the man in the moon, yet you come on with the know-it-all highbrow attitude.

First of all, you joined this forum on March 9...5 whole days ago. Approximately 1/4 of your 39 posts or more have been directed to me or on this Mark Tadd subject. Other than the thread which you started today on the cue, you've said basically nothing in your posts. There's no content. When you speak of drivel, you're definitely a man with expertise, that's all that drools out of your mouth. And you want to go back to pool threads??? What a joke...go back then and say something for Chrissake. Additionally, I despise stalkers...and you're making it pretty evident with your first post and subsequent ones in only 4 days. I'm not stalking you, but I am answering your horseshit.

You're not done...you'll be posting back because you can't help yourself. I've seen that obsession too many times with losers in the past on here and you're one of them, or an alias from the past coming back for more. Either way let 'er fly, I fully expect it. And I know you won't be proving me wrong.

Guys, can you two please hug and make up?

 

[Jimmy M.]

Now, he wants to go back on the road to gamble and do what he once did. Again, who knows. I'd be surprised if he ever came back and told.

He doesn't want to go back on the road to gamble. He's done gambling on pool. After so many years of not gambling on pool, he does have me convinced that he's really quit for good. I talk to him every now and then still. Unless he took off again, he's here in Phoenix playing cards.

HA, that's what you should do Jimmy, quit pool and play cards! If I ever bet my V-cash on you again I hope Mike kicks me outta the forum. How could you lose in that soft field? Jeez, get over here to Kingman where the "REAL" players play and take a lesson.

Then why was it reported on here that HE was looking for a road partner to travel with to play. Is it going to be a national sight-seeing tour? When was the last time you spoke to him?

Rude Dog, a good friend called me today, a guy who's probably one of the best one-pocket players in this area. He's quit pool for good, stating he's been dealing AND playing cards, making 2 dimes a week at a local card house.

According to him, he doesn't have to give up any weight, and when one guy quits, there's always another one to take their place. He said he used looked at pool as a means to make money, and now he's stuffing his pockets with greenbacks playing cards. Sad to say, he has definitely lost his passion for the game of pool, but has developed a strong desire to continue playing cards.

HMMM, that's my kinda job, where do I sign up? Yeah, I'll take you too Jimmy, as long as you give me my V-cash back.

Then how do you explain the post at onepocket.org (one pocket forums) under Road partner wanted by Mark Tademy, is that not the same person or is that posting a phony? Curious

 

[Jimmy M.]

Then why was it reported on here that HE was looking for a road partner to travel with to play. Is it going to be a national sight-seeing tour? When was the last time you spoke to him?

I talked to him last week. I wouldn't take any of that talk too seriously. If he did want to go out "on the road" to play pool, I'm certain that he's talking strictly about tournament play. Since he was so open about whatever was on his mind when he was posting here, I'm sure he won't mind my saying this, but the main reason that he doesn't gamble is a religious one. I don't know why he sees poker as something different, but hey, everyone has their own individual beliefs concerning religion. Who knows? Maybe he's right. There are a lot of religious beliefs out there, all of which are "right" in the minds of the people that those beliefs belong to.

 

[Jimmy M.]

HA, that's what you should do Jimmy, quit pool and play cards! If I ever bet my V-cash on you again I hope Mike kicks me outta the forum. How could you lose in that soft field? Jeez, get over here to Kingman where the "REAL" players play and take a lesson.

You'd think I would just quit them both (I don't play cards, but I figure quitting before I even start might save me a lot of money) and just be satisfied working. If I quit my job now, I might be able to gross at least $1500 playing pool by the end of the year! The cool thing about that is, since I will have only made $1500 for the year, I might not even have to pay taxes. Hell, I'll be so broke I won't be able to pay them anyway, so right there I'm already saving money!

I think I'm on to something here.

Hey Jimmy, dont be sharing shit like that on a public forum, you'll have everybody quiting there jobs!

;-)

Um, excuse me Mr. Rude Dog, but you need not worry .... you have no V-CASH

Dave, couldn't resist.

But think how easy it would be to make money on the road, playing all the local champions and pros on their own equipment in their own rooms in a hostile environment with their backers. Yeessh!

If I may interpose a thought about Mark, I had complete empathy for him when he first posted on the forum. He may have jumped into the forum with both feet, eager to participate and enjoy the pool-related topics. He was greeted with some good posts, and some not so very good. I'm sorry to see that he's not posting anymore and think it is a loss to some folks who may be friends with him as well as to those who may be interested to hear what makes a pool player tick from his own words. Maybe he'll come back someday and receive a good welcome.

JAM, it is rare that I disagree with you, but this time it seems to me you don't remember his early posts.

Mark was welcomed by most, but he made a major error when he made it clear he intended to share his knowledge and expereinces with the forum and, with only minimal exception, doing an about face, never opening up, and making what surely stand out as some of the worst posts ever seen on this forum, posts having no direction and, ultimately, almost no meaningful content. He also insulted the intelligence of forum members with his "Am I the Real Mark Tadd?" thread.

Now I've been around long enough to have known Mark and socialized with him. I have seen him play, and I know what kind of player he was. But so what?

I said it then and I'll say it again now. When it comes to the main forum, I'd much rather have guys like Rude Dog and Jimmy M around here. They, and others like them, are part of the pro scene and they enjoy sharing their knowledge and experiences in top competition with those on the forum.

SJM, I'm all ears -- or eyes, I should say!

I'm going to be honest here and say that some posters have the gift of being able to communicate their thoughts in print better than others. I don't believe Mark has the capability to express his thoughts as well as some -- like you, SJM -- which sometimes can lead to unintelligible posts, posts that can be misinterpreted because of the style of the writer.

He also insulted the intelligence of forum members with his "Am I the Real Mark Tadd?" thread....

I didn't catch the whole thread, but I saw it was quite active.

Now I've been around long enough to have known Mark and socialized with him. I have seen him play, and I know what kind of player he was. But so what?...I said it then and I'll say it again now. When it comes to the main forum, I'd much rather have guys like Rude Dog and Jimmy M around here. They, and others like them, are part of the pro scene and they enjoy sharing their knowledge and experiences in top competition with those on the forum.

I agree that Rude Dog and Jimmy M really add to the spirit here at AzBililards Discussion Forum, but couldn't it also be a good reading experience if there were contributions from a diversified group of posters, too? I've learned quite a bit from reading some of these posts on this forum.

I empathize with the guy because I've seen players in the past make a first-time post and sometimes end up getting sucker-punched in print on the pool-related forums FOR NO REASON other than they are who they are. When it gets personal and/or it isn't a pleasant experience anymore, it's time to take a hiatus, which is most likely what Mark Tadd did. JMHO, FWIW!
