" Please bring back John Barton so his wife can rest. - 09-06-2010,
07:42 AM
I havent spent a lot of time here recently because I have been busy
with a lot of things just as many here are. So when I discovered the
newest forum phenomena I must say it caused me to laugh my not
inconsequential ass off.
I guess John Barton got kicked for one reason or another. Now to my
understanding this means you dont get to post here for whatever length
of time the mods deem appropriate.
Now we all know numerous people come back here under different names.
Thats just part of the game. Sometimes the new ID's get the boot most
times not. Its the mods house so whatever they want to do is up to
them. But.....
It seems after John Bartons ban, no doubt for inciting craziness (dude
had me SERIOUSLY ready to fight him in a parking lot at SBE. His
ability to make someone temporarily insane is legendary) he lost not
only his voice on this the largest pool forum in the world but his
ability to advertise freely his wares. Luckily for John it seems his
wife has taken a new and vigorous interest in our little happy place.
Someone go tell someone just to let JB back so Karen (Ms. JB Cases)
doesn't have to spend all day posting on the internet in perfect
English grammar and punctuation. Seeing as the young lady just joined
around the same time as her husband got the boot I am sure she would
much rather look back at the archives of some of her man's more
legendary threads here than to simply shill for some cases.
At least when John was here he did provide the occasional informative
post about the history or construction of cases. It seems that if we
are going to get the JB Case spam regardless we might as well get the
occasional odd bit of information as well.
Now I know John Barton would never post under another name as that
would should show a complete lack of honor in himself and total
disrespect to the owners of this forum. Luckily for him his wife seems
to have mastered the art of online forum advertisements extremely
well. So I ask not for Johns benefit that he be allowed back as we see
he still gets all the positives of forum access thanks to his wife. I
ask that he be allowed back in order that we on occasion get some
tidbit of arcane case related knowledge.
To the powers that be please for the love of god do not ban Karen
Barton because then it would fall to their child of not more than
three or four years of age to post for sale ads for JB Cases in
perfect english and grammar at all hours of the day and night. I for
one do not want to be a party to violating child labor laws in China. "
