Bruce (Coco)-
Please direct me to my post that you took as criticizing you for NOT PLAYING. I believe ALL of my posts are about you supporting the tour either as a spectator/player, which by the way as a spectator is free. All I ask is if you are going to participate in every Desert Classic Tour thread, promote a little positive behind it, or offer some constructive criticism. It just seems like it's a bombardment of negativity when it comes to you and the Desert Classic Tour, as if you're on a mission to see it fail.
I do not know you on a personal level; therefore, i can't understand your reasoning to want us to fail. I do, however, know the facade you wear. I know the people you consider your friends, who feed you information about pool around the valley, which most of the time is negative. So, my guess is they are the people who either are not affiliated with the tour and/or are upset because they were not asked to participate in any way this season. If they want facts as to why, feel free to have them call me and i will let them know why they were not asked.
In the meantime, your apology is accepted. All we ask is for constructive criticism, which typically is negative, to help us improve the tour. That is fine and understandable. But, to inundate us with constant negativity, or futile posts is not necessary, so please put it to a halt.
BVal/Ken-
Your apologies are not needed. You all have done your part to support the tour, and not to mention, this was BVal's thread to begin with. I'm sure everyone is guilty of getting off topic on some threads, including myself (for instance, the "Baconator".

). Jimmy and I appreciate your honesty and constructive criticism on how to continue to improve our tour. I just wish some others had the same tact as the two of you.
Neil-
You should consider doing some research before criticizing someone you don't know, but more importantly, about something that never happened. I'm sure if you had all of the facts, perhaps you would see it differently. I don't know you, or anything about you. I'm sure you are a gentleman and a great supporter of pool, otherwise, you wouldn't be here on the forums.
Take care and i apologize for the long post (that was off topic).
