Words

I thought I read Jam's post pretty well. Did I miss the part where she said she was not going to post on AZB any longer??
 
One of the best

I'm not even sure what to title this thread; thus, "Words" is the only word I can think of at the time of this writing. I write this with a heavy heart.

I was going to wait until tomorrow morning to create this thread, giving myself a day to think about what to say overnight, being able to pick my words gingerly so as not to offend anyone, but I kind of wanted to get this over with so I don't have to face it in the morning.

I woke up today at 4 a.m., which is when I begin my workday, and I immediately noticed that I had four PMs in my mailbox. It was then, reading several of them, that I discovered that Juice had been banned. Thereafter, I read the multiple threads on the Main Forum about the banning and the outrage that it had caused to members, as well as how my participation on some threads have been offensive, even detrimental to the climate of the environment.

I would be lying if I said that none of what I have read today bothered me, because I've been deeply saddened by it all day long. In fact, it is hurting me pretty badly. I had no idea that I was disliked this much. I know this is not the sentiment of the entire forum, but it seems as if it is the sentiment of the majority of this forum.

I had not asked for Juice to be banned, FWIW. I have read some things written about me today that are not true, but I won't hash them out in this thread. That's not the purpose of me writing here tonight.

I apologize for posting words that have been abrasive to AzBilliards members. I also am sorry for any thread drifts I created in the past. I had only meant to add levity to some threads by adding links to videos, music, and pictures. I was not aware that it was disruptive to the flow of things. I never meant for that to happen.

I hope the moderators allow Juice to return. It would bring good cheer to many who value his forum friendship.

Thank you for reading my thread. I'm not sure what else I can say, but I didn't want to just stop posting and not say something after this recent turn of events. I just wanted to express my thoughts.

I can't think of anything witty to close with, other than to say may all your balls fall in the pockets. Thanks for reading my words.

Oh, and I hope Team USA brings home the Mosconi Cup! :smile:

Your one of the finest JAM.............:smile:
 
JAM,

You were one of the first people to be nice to me on this forum, and we've had a pretty pleasant back and forth relationship over the years.

Obviously, the word used against you was uncalled for, but you haven't exactly been yourself lately. I've noticed a certain snappiness and yes, even condescension in your posts in your latest incarnation. I've read a lot of threads lately where you've been having it out with someone, and haven't noticed as many fun posts.

Bring back the kinder, gentler JAM, because honestly, when you're at your best, few can compete with your contributions here.

JMHO, FWIW ;)

OMG!!! I go to play some fool - errr POOL, and come back to Kumbaya???

Who'd a thunk it... :)

Life is a tug of war. Seek the spoils dear to you and yours.
 
Jam since your good at expressing yourself on a key board, it's only a matter of time something will happen. You went at me only One time a few yrs back about a minnesota fats thread, I dug my heals in because of my experience with him growing in So. IL and playing him in college and then seeing him around the country and then doing a one on one biography of the mans LIFE with his wife of 40+ yrs Evelyn, six weeks after he passed, other wise....it's all good. We all get attacked, those that write more get more action good or bad, it's difficult to be as sweet as Ether ;) that's why you two are such a good match, and I say this with good meaning as Mr. Costa Mesa HTimes and I go back a ways.

As in any relationship, be it with keyboard & other posters, family, roommate, or lover we learn about our strengths and weaknesses when we are around and interacting. Those that realize this will adapt because of their mistakes, inadequacies, lack of knowlege or knowing somethings not right and fix it to make life better for themselves and all others in their lives. What your experiencing is what happens in everyones life and we grow.

When I see you posting, I want to hear what your saying because you express yourself better than 90% of all of us on this key board, If I liked every post that was made here, I probably wouldn't visit as often.

You two have a wonderful Xmas and a great New Years.

Bill M.

My favorite Bee Gees song.
This forum, and communication in general, is all about words....
...they can hurt, and they can help.

Hang in there, JAM.
