Quoted from vid1900:

Donalt Trump acts like a prick, millions still watch his show and sleep in his hotels.
Gene Simmons acts like a prick, millions of fans listen to his music and collect his stuff.
Katherine Heigl is the biggest bitch you have ever met, yet we still go and see her movies.
Many very successful people do not have a warm & fuzzy personalty. Time to get over it.

Quoted from PismoArcade:

This thread blows...
I've spoken with Tim a half dozen times through the years. He's always been courteous to me.... I dunno, maybe it's the way I approach him. I've also seen him in a-hole mode. The guy just doesn't suffer fools. If you're rude, allow you're kids to run rampant, or mistreat the pins, he'll have no problem going off on you.
On a side note, I'm thinking of starting a thread called "Jack Guarnieri, Jersey Jack Pinball", documenting all the classless things he's said and done throughout the years (he loves trashing Gary Stern at pinball shows) , mixing in names like "prick", "douche", "autistic" and counting the minutes until the thread gets shut down.
....which, IMO, should happen to this thread.
