onepocketchump said:Yeah, well I only play in the same league as my colleagues. Like when Lou and his cohorts ambushed me during Eric's video. Oh, gee I didn't bother to mention that in the middle of my BUSINESS day they came to MY PLACE OF WORK to stir shit with me.
They came to my trade show booth for the express reason to cause trouble.
Isn't this the same thing that Eric PUNCHED an old man for?
Trust me though, I wouldn't really do it. Lou wants to duck me then so be it. He ducked me last year when he had three days to come and play me. If he wants to be petty then let him.
What he is NOT telling you is that we were cool with each other until he started in AGAIN with all the insults about being delusional for using CTE.
That's the history you don't know.
OK, so I get another email... emails or not, I'm tried of responding to John. And when I explain why you'll all understand:
I have no idea when the thing with Eric happened *but I had nothing to do with it.* My first SBE trip was last year and I did stop by to say hi to John at his booth and he and I and some old RSBers spent some time together, chatting cordially, until John went "off line." If you care to read it, here is my account of that trip in its entirety:

If you don't, here is the passage that pertains to John:
"Back at the SBE I wander around all the booths again, doing a slow pass. Of course the one thing I wanted to buy -- some super-fine 2600 grit sandpaper -- not a single vendor in this pool Merkato had. Somehow I had missed the "Fury Pavilion," tucked back in a corner on the second floor, and decide I’ll see if John Barton is in. And he is. In fact, he’s sitting at the entrance to his booth next to Jimbo, with Fred hovering nearby, and it’s sort of like a mini-RSB reunion. And so we all talk about various things for an hour, until John gets hot talking about cue cases (in particular, about past discussions concerning cue case protection), walks away, and that’s that. Jimbo informs me about a gathering planned later that night. And I break for dinner at Legal Seafood down at the mall. A good dinner was had by all."
So the only "delusional" one is John -- either that or he is now so desperate for attention that he is making things up out of thin air.
