now I just fired up another thread there to torment the mods and their admin.

this one is titled: "Rafa: The Strokes of Genius".

we will see how long it lasts before the mods and the admin rush to remove it.

Now you know you were inciting those people, LOL.

of course I was. you know exactly what I was doing:

1. I want to throw bait out there for those professional and pathetic rafa haters. so my rafa threads were the bait and sure enough the trolls started to gather to insult and attack me as well as to trash rafa.

2. I wanted the mods to delete those pro rafa threads fairly quickly and they did. it worked out perfectly.

3. I also try keep the name of Camelot alive but usually it is subliminal advertising since my avatar clearly states that my location is "Camelot Elite Tennis Society".

so it is working like a charm. the first 2 objectives anyway. those professional rafa haters waste little or no time to do their thing. that exposes them to some extent so the wise folks can see what they are really like and how they have destroyed that forum.

it is amusing and detestable at the same time:

they cant stop talking about rafa and his fans 24 hours a day and yet they cant stand him.

now with respect to the 3rd objective, I don't think we are going to have much luck there. I think Michael nadal lied to you. he has no intention of coming here. he cant even get himself to join, let alone stop by here and say hello.

like I said before, some of these people there have 18,000 posts or better. we are not going to have much luck with them.

and if they care so little or don't really give a damn then how much longer will it be before I dont give a damn about them either.

that is why I said that I can take it or leave it there. I don't have that much time to waste on that pathetic forum anyway. it really has a massive stench to be honest with you.

"the order" is not going to make it here. Michael nadal has issues evidently. mustard is comfortable there.

that forum has well over 100,000 members. those people over there have a place already built up and they have built up audiences so there is fairly rapid response.

we will just have to di it the hard way. cool thing is that we get to learn along the way and it is such a cool challenge.

this brings me to RAFA Nation. this is why I founded RAFA Nation:

1. to try to unite Rafa fans and Rafa supporters all over the world

2. to promote and facilitate experiences and interactions that entertain and inspire.

ultimately there will be spill over benefits to Camelot Elite Tennis Society because of RAFA Nation.

this too will take some time but it is a noble project that is going to be fun.

tomorrow I will try to figure out how to approach this and how to proceed.

I guess it's as you say, they enjoy the gratification of an instant audience.

Their loss.

uncle tony is signing autographs in Rio:

I'd take one. Uncle Toni is the bomb. A master.

I would not mind having a few beers with uncle tony. and I know that is never going to happen.

he would be quite interesting to talk to.

if you could sit down with uncle tony, what kind of questions would you ask him?

Clay Death · « **Reply #393 on:** February 19, 2014, 01:20:24 am »

I am wondering if there is a way to move your center up. you have so many different departments.

well we will think about it tomorrow.

Clay Death · « **Reply #394 on:** February 19, 2014, 10:50:32 am »

they banned me at tennis warehouse which is a good thing. I was actually trying to get banned there last night.

while amusing at times, those hate riddled and hate infested trolls are really unbearable at times.

they have made a mockery of that place. the mods and the admin must love them because they keep them and let them pedal their trade.

nadal fans are the only ones who get banned there.

my effort to recruit there has not resulted in a sufficient return for my time. it is far more valuable and it needs to be put to better use elsewhere.

they said I was recruiting for Camelot. that was the reason for the ban. its really a relief. I wasted more time there than I needed to.

crisstti must be sick of that place as they keep attacking her there also. they never give tdk a break. never. no wonder he has to go away for a while from time to time.

I gave that place a proper name: its a toxic dump just like MTF. both places are overrun with bitter trolls who are allowed to pedal their reckless hate for Rafa around the clock.

I think Uncle Ton is a fascinating character. I'd ask him:

1. What made him take his approach to training Rafa so strictly? Was it because he was privileged and he wanted him to understand his blessing, and to know that those blessings came at a price to someone else, and that he too must pay his due?

2. Would he ever coach another player besides Rafa, in the event that Rafa retired?

3. Is he training his sons to become the next Rafas?

4. Does he advise Rafa not to marry yet?

5. How does Rafa's parents feel about his methods now?

What would be nicer is it they could all be incorporated into one thread called Tidbits, or something like that.

I hear his sons are playing tennis but I don't have any details.

as for his methods, they all worked out. rafa is worth around $250 million. his 8 RG crowns will net him another $500 million over a lifetime in endorsement income. some of his records can never ever be broken as the sport is just too demanding. his domination of clay for a decade cannot be equaled. it is something only a superhuman armed with ridiculous will could do.

he is one of the greatest to have ever played the sport. he has a chance to go after the slam record. he has his bouts with injuries and his setbacks but it does not really get much better than this. he has a chance to stare down history if he can stay healthy and cut back on his hard court activity to some extent going forward.

so I am not sure if I would work tony over too much but I would probably ask him why he did not get rafa some help with the sliced backhand and his volleys when he was a kid.

probably not possible with this forum software design.

we can try to streamline it further as we learn more about these things.

also having a few more people here will take care of most everything. and we know that is going to happen sooner or later.

the progress we have made is nothing short of astonishing so far. I never thought we would be this further along a few months ago.

Oh no, I'm definitely not working Toni over. I think what he did was phenomenal and you're darn right, it worked out well.

But what interests me is the fact that Rafa was born with privilege and it is not often that those who don't have to worry about money and careers, and choose whatever they'd like to do, would have this approach.

Gulbis comes to mind. How difficult must it be for him to strive, compete, and keep plugging along when the money that he makes is probably peanuts to him.

Rafa, though nowhere near as wealthy as Gulbis, still hasn't had to face the hunger of competition like those who came from middle or lower class families. Those people may have a lot of different motivations and strive forever to get there.

But, when you already have money, I'm curious as to how you also get the eye of the tiger.

I think Toni's strategy is genius. He knew to erase so many negative factors such as: status, prestige, wealth, arrogance, conceit, etc., and replace them with positive qualities such as: humbleness, work ethic, never taking anything for granted, not vaunting himself over others, and acceptance.

This is what I find most intriguing about their partnership. I can't understand how Rafa pulled it off.

another thing tony did for rafa:

he was able to keep rafa grounded and to earth so to speak.

rafa is one of he greatest global sports superstars ever and yet he is still a humble, shy, and down to earth dude away from the tennis court.

he got his 800th win last night:

I moved your center up a little bit.

your center and Emma's center seem to have most of the activity so this seems to make sense anyway.

Clay Death · « **Reply #403 on:** February 19, 2014, 12:58:45 pm »

just 30 more posts and we hit a cool milestone: 10,000 posts.

vamosssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

Exactly. I would be freaking out it posters and billboards were there to meet me in obscure cities and countries that I go to compete. If sports writers always wanted to write about me. That dolls were made in my likeness, clothes and shoes bought because of my name. People traveled for miles to see me. I can't even imagine it, and to take it all in stride and care only about the competition. Just phenomenal.

On Twitter, this 88 y.o had a sign up saying "I traveled 1284 (?) miles to see you at Rio. OMG, how must that feel?
