It's no wonder that well established & respected CMs don't post here any more. I mean, who in their right mind wants to find themselves in the middle of a pissing match or have some clueless nit taking shots at their integrity?
The problem isn't because two different CMs have differing opinions. Of course there will be difference of opinion, people do things differently. What I see is the MAJOR source of the ugliness is the influx of a small, select group of individuals that have nothing better to do than to come here and take shots at notable CMs. They have no interest in asking relevant questions or making a positive contribution to any ongoing discussion. I'm at a loss to understand why they do this or what they hope to gain for their efforts as nothing in the threads that they appear in has anything to do with them. To me, they are nothing more than parasitic instigators whose only purpose here is to see who they can 'fire-up'. Their life must be so pitifully absent of any joy or reward that the only 'jollies' they receive in their life is to see their name in the same thread as someone who actually has a life. To those 'select individuals' I say : FIND THE DOOR & USE IT. You're about as welcome here as breast cancer. And to one in particular, go clean your litter-box. It's starting to get RANK.
The 'cue makers' section should be one of the premier areas of this great forum. The wealth of talent here and the vast data-base of information that's available is mind-boggling. If anyone has a legitimate question or is experiencing problems with a particular task, there are (and were) many here who will take the time to share their knowledge freely, for nothing more than promoting the art of cue building. That free exchange of information is at risk if we allow the parasitic instigators to tear down the well earned reputations of those that share good knowledge. 'Posers' & instigators have no place here and should be 'outted' for the vermin they are. They need to go. Sooner the better. Look, this is your forum, the cue maker's forum. How long are you willing to tolerate the crap?
