its just a question about the us open and i was wondering if anyone could clear it up, i never asked any names i just wanted to know if the rumors were true.
last time i checked forums are for asking questions and debates about pool related matters.
hiding behind my username? not really i just pop on every now and then to follow certain players results in events. there is really no point in posting my esername as i never been to an event and only my friends will know who i am.
so rigger (who ever you are) before branding someone "pathetic" have a think as you may not know the person who you are calling and it could land you in trouble
can anyone please tell me when the next big event is please?? is it the mosconi?
The next event in the UK is GB9 in Daventry this weekend.
incidentally, Riggers' attitude towards me, in which he demanded to know my name after I pointed out a failure in his scoring system, is the very reason I'll not be joining the tour - now or ever. His god-complex is disturbing.
I'll PM you with where you can find the answers to your perfectly reasonable questions. But there wa no failure in the scoring system n never has been. At the time people pointed out there wa nowt wrong wi it n it wa just you

I was completely correct, as riggers confirmed in a later post (albeit without contrition or apology, I might add). It wasn't working on Friday night or Saturday morning. You could only see the results as they happened, not the results from the earlier matches. A lot of people piled in without understanding the issue. Tis the nature of the beast, though innit?

Some people just like to moan (admittedly its usually me). Just taking the Michael now the serial GB9 wingers... GB9 best run tour I know of and 99% of people that have ever played on it will agree... live scoring - different class. Loads of class players and good lads! If people don't want to play on GB9 because of issues with system or staff then they're, quite frankly, crazy. [ This message was edited by: The_Lunn on 2012-11-06 15:02 ]

spot on mark, on youtube people saying he knew, but watch his eyes after the jump shot at 1:20, they are focused on the cue ball, he never saw it hit the 7

BMW's question about the so called rumour on Facebook was not because he wanted to ask a perfectly reasonable question it was because he knows perfectly well what happened and wanted to stir up a silly thread on here, which is exactly what this has become.

How you're spoken to, and how the organisers conduct themselves, is very important. It sends out strong messages. What else is someone contemplating joining the tour going to base their judgments on? Demanding to know someone's name, then belittling them by labeling valid questions as 'childish' and 'pathetic' is probably not the best way to encourage new blood, is it?

Still don't want to say who you are? Says it all really.
You can come and talk to me face to face if you have issues with how I conduct myself. I'm quite reasonable and willing to accept when I'm wrong. But I won't talk to a faceless screen name. Goodbye.

LOL You STILL don't get it do you? This is NOT Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. We have this wonderful concept called 'free speech'. We have things called the 'internet' and 'social media'. Quite why you think you're so important to demand names and 'face to face' conversations about something so trivial is beyond parody. Dude, you MUST learn to separate the professional from the personal. You come across as bullying, threatening and paranoid. I understand you are protective of what you have achieved, but don't take things so personally - it's counterproductive. Let people think what they want to think.
