I don't think your knocking Brent, But I do know for a fact you're knock the OP's opinion, and other people's opinions. That is basically what a troll does on a forum.
Enough said.
Dave.
Forums are here for people to share ideas and opinions, you may disagree or agree but once all the opinions are the same the forum will die.
I don't believe you have made any issues to support the opinion that got me to post, so does that mean you agree with me?
Maybe you'd feel better if we had more people posting like Busboy, yeah he's no troll, we need more of them around here.
If a person feels something said is a lie or misleading where is the harm in pointing it out? What are you affraid of? Do you agree with the original statement? I have not made one derogatory comment about Brent or his cues, yet somehow everyone feels I somehow attacked the guy. Is it only cool if we kiss everyone's ass and lie?
As far as derailing the thread, well that was not my intent, I've been attacked now and responded to those attacks because my comments are being painted in the wrong light.
Nothing said was anti Brent yet you've all assumed that or somehow read that in what I wrote and it couldn't be further from the truth. There has yet to be one person to say or prove that what I am saying is wrong, or even someone to disagree with me, yet plenty of outrage. I don't understand that mentality, if I am wrong just prove me wrong, or in the least tell me you agree with the statement that "Brent builds cues almost better than anyone."
If you want to brag about your cue or your cuemaker that's fine, but when you want to make a claim that drags in all other cuemakers then you need to be accurate or expect to be called on it.
Brent makes a great cue.
I believe Brent's cues are the best out there.
I choose Brent's cues over all others
I think Brent's cues hit the best.
Brent is a great guy.
All ok to say and post, but the minute you say.
Brent makes better cues than anyone.
Brent's cue hits better then ________(fill in the blank)
Brent does ________ (fill in the blank) better than everyone
Give some proof or be called out. "Better than most" IMO is a strong term, one I doubt I would use with any name. But hey that's just me, you guys all seem fine with it. Except I have still not seen one person tell me I am wrong, or that they agree.
