Did SBRJohn Start the Poll Just to get Posting up Because of the End of Bowl Season??
I don't know....end of football season always makes this place less visited. The only explanation I can come up with is that he either is trying to cause controversy or his "little brother" hacked into his account and made the posts for him.

I really think it happened just as Tacomax's recreation states:

Dozer: And?
John: Well I'm missing the day to day running of the company.
Dozer: But you've retired.
John: I know, I want to come back.
Dozer: You've been out of the game a long time, John.
John: I know, I've still got it though.
Dozer: Well not sure about you running the place, yet.
John: I'll do anything to prove myself.
Dozer: OK. Let me think about it. I know. What about the forum?
John: What about it?
Dozer: You manage the forum today. If that works out, we'll take it from there.
John: Sure thing. Dozer. You won't regret this!

The thought crossed my mind. But I don't think so. I don't think there is a master strategy. I think John is exactly what he showed himself to be.
It's like when I have seen him say he thinks jjgold knows betting. I always give him credit for knowing better but trying to manipulate the board for business purposes. But maybe he just really believes it. I think so.
I think a lot of people imagine John to be sharp because of his successful business. But the more I have seen, the more reason there is to believe there is a significant luck/fluke element to it. It was a pretty messy showing on his part.

Sometimes charming the right people will get you ahead in life.
Maybe John is that charmer.

He is probably a very good salesman. My dad spent his entire career as a salesman so I know you can be very successful at it and still be a bit unaware in some areas.
I don't know what happened yesterday. I really think he meant well at the start of it. He had a simplified idea about racism and thought it might look good to apply it. He was just not self-aware - as salesmen often aren't. Maybe we should give him a Mulligan.
Just thought of a concept for a comedy movie: John and The BETFIRSTCLASS guy open a Public Relations firm.

I give john one thing from yesterday , that he realized he was wrong, took a vote and stood by it. I give him credit for that, but at what cost, did he cost this forum some good posters, verdict still out

LOL. Yes Mudder you hit the nail on the head. There is tremendous luck putting years into developing a business model and growing it from ground zero.
Or as Coach Royal put it; Luck is when hard work meets opportunity.
Mud you may not like me many here do not. But I stand for what I feel is right. I am not for censoring and this forum is proof. If you want to deduce I was lucky because you did not agree with my posts be my guest. That type of logic deduction I would not have expected from you. When you start thinking your competitors, or people and even teams just got lucky you are playing the part of a fool. At least that is my opinion which luckily you can discount because afterall, I'm just lucky.

Who are you kidding John? If it wasn't for jjgold this place wouldn't have gone off the ground. He needs to me made a majority owner.

One problem with that logic....maybe Mudcat also enjoys his life very much and is doing what he wants with it such as SBRJohn.....
