Is anyone on here close friends with jjollie?

This has gotten way out of hand. All I wanted was for someone that knew him to give him a call for me, so that I could find out what was going on. No need to post our private conversation on the public forum. That is just wrong I think.

Dude what's wrong is saying you have a deal that you THINK is going bad and then associating this man's name with the alleged deal you say is going sideways. Around here it leads to a lot of expected skepticism .

In negotiations it's best to present your case and wait for the other party to come to you....in other words Be Patient...

Okay, so you have over 30 years in the business. How often has it taken you longer then 24 hours to reply to an email? I did not hear back from him for around 36 hours. He said that he received my 1st PM, but was too busy to reply back to me. I was not trying to stalk the guy. I just wanted to give him a call (1 call). That is all. What is the big deal? I just wanted to make sure we were still all good on our trade agreement. Most business people have cell phones on them at all times, and for me, when I receive a PM, it goes to my email, and then I get alerted directly to my cell phone. Are some people really so busy that it takes them over a day to take a minute to reply to an email or PM?

Are you looking to marry this guy or buy a cue from him??

Again ....stupid can't be fixed.

Okay, so I am stupid for simply wanting to give the guy 1 phone call, to ask 1 question? I really do feel stupid now, because I regret not just shipping the items out and being patient in waiting for a reply. No need to insult me. You think insulting me is going to help me? You are just a nasty rude person.

And just because I want to give him a call means that I want to marry him? I understand that was a joke, but very far fetched.

I am curious, what needs to be done to have this thread deleted by a mod? I wish that a mod would delete it, so that it would get forgotten about asap. I guess that would be pointless though, because you guys remember everything forever. You are always bringing up threads that I created years ago, that should have been long forgotten

Yes.Some people actually get off their phones and do stuff for relaxation and also have pretty demanding jobs.

yea when i hapen to be at work on a platform 95% of the time i dont even get online for anything.....sometimes its not even an option lol.
 
I agree that the threads and posts can get tiresome, and that some are silly or have obvious answers (to me). But lately at least (I think it may have been a little different in the past but can't recall for sure if it was him or not) all he is really doing is trying to learn, even if they are awful basic and sometimes borderline silly questions. I would rather deal with fifty guys on the forum who are trying to learn, even if they asks tons of questions and silly ones at that, over even one guy who is here to just endlessly plug the product he is selling or even just one guy that doesn't know what he is talking about half the time but insists on passing off his misinformation to everyone else as the absolute gospel truth and absolutely refuses to ever be willing to listen to any evidence that says he could be wrong.

As far as this particular thread, no, he didn't handle the situation the best way. But it is obvious the guy has some deep rooted issues that most of us don't have and that are likely at least partially out of his control. I try to keep those things in mind when reading the posts and threads. Just my thoughts and I could possibly have it pegged all wrong although I would be surprised if it were totally wrong.

Yeah, and I thought that is what forums were meant for, to ask questions. Someone said on here a while back that no question is a stupid question. But i continue to get made fun of on here about anything I ask about or talk about. Was this forum ever a nice friendly forum, for the most part? Why do the mods allow all of the rude, insulting comments from people. It is not right.

The only reason I created this thread was to ask if anyone could give jjollie a call for me.

I really should have left out all of the details about why I wanted to contact him. That is what I really regret the most. Also regret telling him that I have trust issues. The fact that I was (am) willing to ship at the same time means that I did (do) trust him. I just did not want any more delays on the cue being shipped. I really been wanting a cue, but there are no reasonable deals in my local area.

I'm just amazed that you're this helpless at age 36. At 36, I owned a car. Had a mortgage. A wife. A kid. Just had my second kid. And I didn't need to track down someone regarding an Internet cue deal if I hadn't heard from them in a day.

I'm sorry we don't treat your communications with the same urgency that you do. You aren't our most important concern on here. And your ramblings aren't all that important, in the cosmic scheme of things. You didn't get a cue. Your life will go on. The sun will rise in the morning.

You need to find a mentor. Someone that can help you with life decisions. That's not me being mean. That's me giving you some much needed advice. Go buy the book "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff". And read it.

when I play a match and lose with it being my fault, and a lesson can be taken from it, then I figure it wasn't a complete loss. ;)

I have had the pleasure of having had a good amount of exposure to people who are autistic or mentally retarded or have had other serious mental 'disabilities' in my lifetime. Some of them are semi-functional in the world and some even manage to live independently but all have social or other cognitive struggles that are still very serious and evident. Almost without exception they are good intentioned and have great hearts even though their limitations can sometimes be very aggravating to others.

I am not suggesting something like that is the case here. I don't know. But I certainly couldn't rule it out. Too much adds up. When you are of that age without a car, and have the types of questions that we see, and issues that are evident even through a computer, and lacking that much social awareness, I think it is worth keeping the above in mind and being a bit more tolerant rather than insulting. There might be a really good reason that is truly beyond control. And maybe it is nothing like that but there are enough indications that it could be that in my mind it isn't worth the risk of being hurtful. Just another perspective for what its worth.

The man need psychiatric care...maybe inpatient.

I really wish that I had not answered the question about my age. It just gives all of you guys more reason to pick on me, and make fun of me.

Maybe I am the way I am because I lot of bad things (that I will not mention on here) happened to me as a child. Many things can affect the way a persons life turns out by things like the type of parents we have, and many other things (the type of education we were offered, the type of people we had to deal with growing up, and many other things).

Maybe you had great supportive parents, and had good teachers, and a good education. I do not know, but I believe that what we go through as children (and teens) makes us what we turn into as adults.

Everyone is different. We are all flawed in one way or another. To rub in a persons issues, and make fun of that person is not going to help them.

Sounds like everything turned out great for you, and I understand that you probably worked really hard to become successful (at what ever it is that you did / do).

I can't change the way I am, and calling me names and being nasty to me is not going to help me. You guys just hurt me, and it is very clear that you do not care, or think about the way the things you say affect a person.

I do not know what else to say.

Just posting some thoughts.

Please no more insults, or nasty comments.

Read up on Keanu Reeves. His life and what he went through. And where he is now. Everyone has something, Justin. Keep making excuses as to why you act the way you do. Or get some serious help, and become better. The choice is yours.

I'm done with you, dude. You join coocoocowboy in my ignore list.

Yeah Justin, the guys are really giving you the business this time around.
You might want to lay low for a while.

I'll tell you what son....it's guys like you that make me worry at night that someday we'll be under the control of a foreign power.

Just letting you know that people can be succesful without the help of teachers and schools. You can educate yourself. I left school when I was 15, I can speak 5 languages, I learned how to program and now I have a succesful app business.
 
Come on guys...lighten up on him...

Some of us were telling him to be patient, in a nice manner. He turned around and lashed out at us. So, he can be an out of control child on here, yet when we decide he needs a spanking, we're supposed to go easy on him? Sorry....spare the rod, spoil the child. And he's proven he's a child.

The reason I initially asked Justin what his age was; with all things being equal, was because his comments / phrasing / mentality seemed to be that of a teenager. However, I did think him to be older though. I asked so that I could respond appropriately if in fact he was older. Know what I'm saying? Justin, this is in no way a dig at you brother - it's just me trying to make sure I said whatever I had to say in an appropriate manner.

Anything you say, aside from validating his opinion, will be seen by him as offensive. He doesn't want a discussion board. He wants a friendship board. I'm not friends with everyone. Especially victims that feel like I hate them or am mean to them if I disagree with them. Heck, if that was the case, my wife should have stopped talking with me 16 years ago....
