Hello boys. Nope, I never disappeared, I just prefer to lurk. I check in regularly to read some of the threads. Anybody miss me? Maybe a couple of members, but they probably wouldn't admit it, because others wouldn't approve, lol. Matter of fact though, you'all might find it interesting that without mentioning any names, there are two members on here who have sent me pm's at times, sometimes asking me if I know the true story about certain disputes and disagreements that have gone on here on the site.
SJD, I have to take issue with your above quote. I am the #1 voice of truth on the site That's what I said when I first posted here. I can't stand bs and I said I will only post what I know is 100% the truth. Some of you don't like to hear it, but that's life. Unlike some, I tell the truth because I don't have any bias toward any part of the country, certain poolhalls, or any players above others. I could clear up some poolplayer histories and truths talked about on here, and I still might.
Most of the untruth that gets posted on here is because of personal bias and even more so, personal agendas.
And let me show you an example of my words coming true as relating to my above statement. A couple of years ago I exposed Billy's az post where he didn't put Artie on his top ten all time one pocket players list, and he didn't think Artie would see it. Then when Artie saw it because of my post and took exception to it, Billy tried to spin it and backtrack like crazy. With that in mind, read the bolded part of my copied post below from 2 years ago. And so what happened 1-1/2 years later? Billy and Artie formed a cozy little one pocket playing corporation for the purpose of relieving John Henderson of a nice portion of his $$$-cash in Galveston. Well how about that, I guess I can see into the future. People gotta keep that 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours thing going on". That will always come before the real truth, here, and in most places in life.
OldSchool said:You know, a couple of times Artie and one or two of his 'followers' have posted words to the effect of: "You don't see any champions disagreeing with Artie and what he says about himself and his great one pocket 'lessons', do you". Well that's a meaningless statement because as everybody knows, in public, people won't say what they really think or know about other people because they have relationships to keep up, or possible future business dealings to consider, or mutual admiration societies (a lot of that going on both here and over at azbilliards) etc.
I'll post another very enlightening example of 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" re. posters on here, in my next post.
