dz cue even you guys will like

[GeraldG]

I've decided NOT to post pics here because some of you have opinion issues you need to work out. some of you have left messages where you really shouldn't have. I was only giving mine and alot of other people's opinions on someone else's cues. OPINIONS...that's it!! you don't need to go and contact someone else over it. I don't (I have an idea) know who you are...but what you did was (is) wrong. if everyone here did what you did to you, you wouldn't be happy either. sorry to those who this doesn't concern, but 1 bad apple....

WTF??? What happened now? Everything was going along nicely (for a change)...waiting for photos of this cue...then Duke goes off again. Soooo...now you're going to try to punish the forum (by not showing photos) because someone sent somebody else a message over something apparently not even related to this thread (I didn't see anything in this thread that would explain this tantrum) ? Did you forget your medication today?

Oh, well...I don't even care. There's plenty of other cues to look at in here...

why would you think I was the one who "went off"??? it was someone else...the message bearer. my "not posting pics" is because someone else can't keep their mouth shut, and have to tell everyone my opinions. no...it's not from THIS thread, but it's definitely someone from this site, or multiple people. I'm not on any medication gerald...but thanks for asking . if someone could learn to keep their mouth shut, everyone else would be able to enjoy the pics. noooo.....let's ruin it for everyone else, and make a comment where it don't belong. thanks guy(s)...now I have learned (again) what some of you are really about, and you'll never read another opinion like that from me because my luck, it'll happen again. someone has NOTHING better to do than ruin it for someone else.

OK...maybe you're just not explaining clearly. In the first place, what in the world does one thing have to do with the other?

It sounds like you posted an opinion on a cue or cues or a cuemaker (or something) somewhere in this forum or some other forum and someone either read it on their own or somebody sent them a link or told them about it or something...anyway, someone that you didn't want to see your opinion saw it and took you to task over it.

OK, well....let that be a lesson to you. Don't post anything in here that you don't want someone to see. The forums are open to everyone (except banned people) and ANYONE can see what you've written. If you've written something in a public forum, then you have to EXPECT that people are going to read it, even people that you don't want to read it. It's also possible that someone would either tell someone else about the post or send them a link to it or something like that, if for whatever reason they thought that person would be interested. If it wasn't something you posted, but rather something you told someone via PM or email or word-of-mouth or whatever...that's also a lesson to be learned. Don't say anything about anyone behind their back that you wouldn't want to say to their face. It WILL eventually get back to them, almost every time.

Don't even tell people things in confidence that you don't want to get back to a particular person. Very, very few people can actually keep something in confidence. They don't mean to betray it usually, but they end up "just letting it slip".

I still fail to see what that has to do with posting photos of this cue.

I don't believe that you aren't going to post the pics for one second. At the VERY least you'll be posting the pics when you try to sell it.

well...

maybe Zeeder...you can believe what you want. I don't care.

 

[Koop]

I was telling someone what I thought of Rauenzahn cues, and word got back to someone else. I'd tell Jerry to his face...you can count on that. anyway, word got back to someone else and they asked me not to defend their cues to you guys, so I won''t. it's obviously making him look bad to you guys, and I did not mean or don't mean to do that.

OK. Why does that keep you from posting pics of this cue?

because I refuse to give some of these guys, or one of these guys, something to look at because of doing so. I'm sorry to everyone else, but he ruined it for ya'. whoever he is...you can thank him, if you were waiting to see this cue. I don't know why some people HAVE to open their mouth on such things, but is life. take it for what it is. for the record...the other cue dealer I was trying to recommend, has nothing to do with me selling anything, nor should he be tied into all this. it's ME selling it, ME recommending him, ME you should have left a message for...not him. why does something I say give ANY cuemaker a "bad image" in the minds (or lack there of) of you guys? also...I only meant that toward the one (or more) saying something to whomever...not everyone. to everyone else...SORRY!!

Well I dont really know whats going on but from the description it seems like it would be a pretty nice cue. Id really like to see it but its not up to me to show it to everyone else. Ive always liked the way Bob's cues looked and if there werent so many other damn cuemakers out there I wouldnt hesitate to get one. He is a very nice guy to deal with, and I may still but indecision, as always, has gotten the best of me. Oh well, duke I hope you enjoy the cue.

pm me

anyone wanting pics of this cue is free to pm me, and I'll send them to whom I feel appropriate. I'm sorry it has come down to this...but someone made it this way. thanks for looking, Jeff ps. pics won't be ready for at least 1 mo. I'm sure, as I think he started it somewhat. too bad I'm not sure if he actually has. I'll keep you posted.

 

[Hal]

You don't need to go and contact someone else over it.

Well, Well, Well. Isn't this the pot calling the kettle black?

Wow...while all of us here love to look at cues, I think I can speak for most here saying that we won't lose sleep over you deciding not to post pics of your cue...lol. We've seen Bob's Bushka rings on DZilla's cue and a hoppe ring is pretty much a hoppe ring! I'm sure it will be a very nice cue, but I know I'm not going to lose sleep because you're depriving us of the priviledge of looking at your cue...lol. Perhaps I'll order a copy of your cue from Bob and post pictures of mine.

Lithium, give it a try.

Interesting. I love my Rauenzahn cue, but certainly everyone has a right to their opinion. Personally, if I heard something bad about a particular cue that conflicted with what I knew (or had heard from people I respected), I would look to see if that person had a habit of saying things of questionable truth/value. I just purchased another Rauenzahn, so we'll see if it's of the same high quality as my first.

 

[GeraldG]

Duke, why are you mad at everyone else? You did it! I just found and read the thread (and sequence of events) that lead to your tantrum in here.

Dude...YOU did that to yourself! You hijacked a thread where someone was asking about RZ cues and you tried to sell your own cue by badmouthing Jerry's cues to make your DZ cue appear superior (by making Jerry's appear inferior).

Then, when the sh!t started hitting the fan, you tried to undo it by deleting some of your posts...problem is that they had already been quoted by other people so you couldn't get rid of them. I'll bet THAT sucked, didn't it?

So then you decided to try to punish the whole forum by not posting pictures of your new cue? Did it occur to you that nobody gives a sh1t? Why do you think that's going to punish anyone? I don't really care AT ALL whether you EVER post any pictures of this cue, the only reason I followed this thread at all was to see what the hell was going to happen next.

This is sort of along the same lines as the deal where you blasted the guy in Ebay on his feedback because you jumped to an incorrect conclusion. You jump and open your mouth without any thought whatsoever as to whether you are right or wrong, then you end up letting your alligator mouth overload your puppydog ass, and then all of a sudden it's everyone else's fault and you're having another temper tantrum.

You have nobody to blame for this except yourself.
