>>And I said if you don't see that those are the same design then you are either blind or clueless when it comes to cue designs. I suspect you can see what I'm talking about yet you are to proud to admit it, so stick to your story Joe it makes you look very intelligent.<<
But you called them copies and continue to call them copies when they are not. Here: copy - An imitation or reproduction of an original; a duplicate: a copy of a painting; made two copies of the letter. Are the cues duplicates? Are they identical? No they are not. They are still inspired.. thats it.
>>I have gone after anyone who has stolen a design, Thomas Wayne being one of them with his SW knockoffs, as well as many production Asian makers and Coker, how you claim that I am ignoring some people is still nonsense but you keep trying to use it.<<
This is the first time in the thread you used Waynes name in an accusation of a knockoff.. woohoo
>>I have told you many times show me the cue and the copy and I will speak on it. You also claim I am afraid of big names yet I've spoken out against Mottey several times and IMO he is one of the top makers working now, your lies make no sense and don't add up.<<
One guy in a pool of 300. Also you are not exactly friends with Paul either. But I know you hung and bought cues from Schick. But you convienently forget that link all the time.
>>That is not the best that can be said, you obviously have no eye for what a design entails and you don't put any credence behind the work that is involved in coming up with a look and being an original.<<
And I have posted the definition of copy and albeit the look is the same, they are not copies.
>>you are a clown Joe, you can't have it both ways. You make claims that I don't go after big names, I point out Mottey and Phillippi are big names, you claim I won't go after people I'll face both Mottey and Phillippi go to VF were I've seen and talked to them many times. <<
Phillippi is not that big a name. You and I both know that. But before this thread, sure you went to Mottey. But the year the feathers copy came out, and you saw it, damn I don't remember seeing you get into Pauls face. I must have missed that part. BTW its you that cannot have it both ways, like I said before, copying is copying, an single inlay, a 4 piece inlay, a whole cue. You cannot dictate that some copying is ok, and some isn't. So try and be more decisive, I know its hard for you.
>>The fact is the guys you claim I am afraid to face don't go to the shows, I won't see Ernie or TW at VF this year I will see Phillippi and Mottey, your wrong once more Joe (no surprise). Try a new angle maybe you should go back to the 30th anniversary thing, it has nothing to do with the debate. But at least you got that one right after you took a few days to research it.<<
