Now we're on the same page, Dave. You had me fooled, though.

Rich Reheard said:Drivermaker you really make me laugh. I went back and I did look at the posts made by Mark and You. You did your fair shrare to stir the pot and he never gave in, as a matter of fact he avoided YOUR posts most frequently. Did you ask questions ? Yes you did and a bigger man didn't answer you. Like the post you started Pool Secrets Of Mark tadd I'm sure you were just being your wonderful self in starting that thread![]()
I think the whole thing got magnified because he's almighty Mark Tadd. It was obvious he was putting a little bit of con, but, you know, you'd expect something like that to make its way into a public forum. Even a great forum like this one. That's why I never bothered to read his posts... it was clearly just forum blather.sjm said:He wasn't in control ...... of his senses. All the guy did was waste people's time and create false expectations. It isn't hilarious and and would only seem like genius to a road player who thought that finding new ways to waste people's time evidences intellect.

Growing up, when chess was my life, I got to know many extremely (and I mean extremely) talented players with a similar attitude and psychological neediness. Some of them, like Giovanni Vescovi, are among the top 100 players in the world today. He hated me. Mostly because I was a "shut up and play" kind of guy. I couldn't be bothered with his superstar antics.
Hopefully Mark Tadd has found something more productive to do. And if he chooses to be a part of the forum (any forum), he'll either have to contribute with genuine thoughts and opinions or he'll have to thicken his skin up a little bit.
It is, MrLucky. I get a kick out of these controversial threads...MrLucky said:I simply find it amazing that so many profess to not like or read this guys post but you all are still talking about where he is? why he left? and what he must have been thinking?
For someone no longer here (on this site) this post ...WHERE IS MARK..." ,is the longest and most read post on the site!
This is hilarious!

You may also notice that the New Flame Wars thread is running pretty high...drivermaker said:What it really is, is a bunch of grown men that think they're still kids on a playground where we all learned to jerk each others ass around, pull chains, trash talk, and have pissing contests amongst ourselves.
I think you might be missing that point. It's Mark Tadd this week, it'll be something else next week, and something after that. Mark Tadd surely isn't the biggest or greatest thing that's ever come down the pike, but it sure beats boredom or beating something else.![]()
Since you brought that up, I have a question, again I am new but isn't there a forum for non pool related issues / post? Most Forums I usually post on will not allow bad language, racist comments or general non pool related post in the Pool Forum! .... am I missing something?lewdo26 said:You may also notice that the New Flame Wars thread is running pretty high...

DaveK said:Sure, AZ has a forum for non-pool related posts. You should find it in the drop-down at the bottom of the page, or as a link on the Forums page. It's near the bottom of the list in both, not far from the TEST forum.

I think I'm entitled to them.
You want answers?
I want the truth!
You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Did you order the code red?
I did the job you sent me to do.

You're goddamn right I did!!

Yes, MrLucky, humor has a large part in making threads such as this one linger. Political correctedness and loose position play have made us old of spirit and weary of heart. Posts by Drivermaker are the answer!MrLucky said:This was both funny and apropo!!!! Someone on here has a good sense of humor
