For those that haven't been around as long as most of us, Travis is not the original character - there was a "Billy Jay Trotter" that posted here and on the Cuetec discussion forum (not sure why they had a forum - don't ask me). "Billy Jay" was hilarious, but was banned for comments he made to Jennifer Baretta in her forum.
Some people were outraged that the very entertaining "Billy Jay" was banned. The comments he made were ban-worthy. Good riddance.
"Travis Trotter" showed up with a similar posting style.
I believe that some of the recent posts by "Travis" have been made to give those of us that have been here a while a clue or two.
Myself, I could care less who it is or what they post. IMO, this person shouldn't be banned. The posts are harmless and made to add a little humor when other threads are getting heated. It is annoying at times, but then again, most of us get a kick out of him/her whether or not we want to admit it. In fact, I have given Travis quite a few awards recently, all in good fun.
Long live poor punctuation.

That's it, now you've convinced me. I'm going out and buying a Cuetec cue todayJoeyA said:While I have my own personal beliefs as to the identity and/or origin of Travis Trotter, I think his identity should remain as it is.
Unlike some of us, when attacked, Travis believes in little or no response. This lack of responding makes him a lightning rod for verbal abuse and ridicule but that characteristic makes him a perfect release valve for those of us who feel frustrated and who feel the need to criticize someone without suffering the wrath of their indignation.
Whether he is a simple man or a character that was coined by a unique individual, Travis plays a unique roll in AZ. He provides a safe cushion for the meanness in all of us. His ability to take a whipping is legendary. You don't have to be afraid of Travis giving you a serious tongue-lashing because you accused him of being a banger or some other derogatory term. He provides unique comedic relief and when he is being critical of someone it is of such a childlike manner that it is difficult to be angry with him.
I think that his personna should copied and used in every forum as he accepts abuse like water on a duck's back. Travis would probably say, "sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me". LOL
LET TRAVIS LIVE. LET TRAVIS LIVE. LET TRAVIS LIVE.![]()
