By that logic, I shouldn't bag on Charles Manson because it wasn't my family he had killed.

Here is my take..... I have bought 7 cues using Dean directly and as part of his special cue projects.
I was and still am very pleased with my business dealings with Dean and especially, my cue-makers.
Regardless of the criticism being expressed, I would do business with Dean again in a friggin’ heartbeat.
How ironic it is these attacks on Dean’s integrity are essentially from folks that never did business with him.
The only time to really pay attention to this topic is if and when you read criticism of Dean from former customers.
So far I’ve only read positive comments and Dean’s i rating attests to it as Cocobolo Cowboy has previously posted.
Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion. The only ones that truly matter are those expressed by Dean’s actual customers.
NUF CED!

Excellent reading comprehensive skills
But.....were you wronged or injured? Working on my reading comprehensiveness...
He should have had Joss build him the line of Jackpot cues.
That is what Buddy Hall did with a line of Derby cues that he had Joss build for him, and those cues were super nice, and hit better then any other Joss I ever played with. Half of the line (the higher end line) were made by Samsara though. I had models 3 and 5, and they hit amazing. They were super solid hitting cues, and very high quality, in my opinion.

I wonder though, even if it turned out that Joss was the maker of the Jackpot cues, would some still be upset, and feel deceived? Who knows.
Only about your own experience buying a cue from Dean has any significance.
If you were never wronged or injured, then your opinion has diminutive value.
You have poor reading comprehensive skills; practice more with you dic..tionary.
That matters NOT to anyone that was hoodwinked today.
I'm starting to show some sympathy towards him even though what he did was deceitful but as more people keep bashing him then he will make out to be the better man. It's starting to happen where those that disagree with him are starting to support him.
Nobody reads a 20 plus page thread in it's entirety so all this bashing of him will eventually turn support from others.
Blah, Blah, Blah...Unless there is proof why should
we be attacking people on a pool forum anyway? Blah, blah, blah...
I haven't read any of the criticism. I was of the opinion the man was passing along some nice pieces for a portion of what they were worth.
In any situation people deserve the benefit of a doubt even Glen Hancock. I still think there's something wrong there that's not known. I know Glen well
enough that he'll stand back and let them bash regardless. The bashing comes under the heading of personal attack. Unless there is proof why should
we be attacking people on a pool forum anyway? Aren't we supposed to be here for fun? Deano is nice fella. I'd enjoy playing and getting to know him.
There is tons of proof. On both accounts, for that matter.
I thought there was plenty of proof in both cases you allude to above and the criticism is also justified. Can't ignore the history of both posters and I am not surprised at the reaction they are receiving.
PS... you also give the impression Glen never attacked anyone on a forum and he's now being attacked all of a sudden.
All I've seen were personal statements and opinions. I've not seen a contract or a receipt.
I never even alluded to your ps, that's putting words in my mouth I didn't say.
All I'm saying here is that people took a guy at his word on an accusation that had 0 history on this forum over a guy that had been here for years.
If there is real bonafide proof post it.

I don't want to derail this thread and I'm not criticizing your post in any manner but I'm curious as to why you think something must be wrong and not known about the rail/money situation with RKC.
1. OP posts that he gave money and rails to RKC and has not heard from him in months.
2. After that initial post, RKC continued to visit this site but stopped posting on threads...but continued log in on to this site daily.
3. RKC has been made aware of this thread by a forum member and has not defending these allegations.
In my world, if you're accused of being a thief on a world wide public forum, you.....
A. Defend yourself.
B. Make the situation right
What do you think could be wrong?
Um, Dean admitted to going with Schmelke since his other choices wouldn't do the work cheaply enough.
After saying repeatedly that Jack built the cues.
Textbook fraud, only admitted to after everyone already knew the truth.
He then completely rewrote his post, claiming he edited for punctuation. That particular move showed tons of integrity and bravery. Also great intelligence, since the post was quoted several times prior to the edit.
I was unaware of any of that. Did he ask for more money than the cue was worth? or less or same amount?
