I would publickly like to say that written WORDS are very powerful and have an affect on the mind, and are more likely to be remembered and BELIEVED above someones own words, so if you are going to accuse someone of dishonesty on these forums please be VERY VERY ACCURATE, peoples reputations are at stake, this is a very dishonest world we live in and building a credible reputation on a forum is not easy especially if people just say what they want without investigating and being thorough....

This forum is a great venue for trading cues and buying cues and I have seen many a people jump the gun in accusing people of dishonesty on the public forum, this should not be happening unless you are directly involved OR have the facts straight and can PROVE your accusations.....many of you make a honest extra income on these threads and MORE people should TAKE a STAND against unresearched, false accusations, even if you KNOW something to be true you should be able to prove it somehow if you are going to accuse someone....

Honest mistakes happen to the best of the best....So please think about what you say before you put it in writing about someone on a forum...........
 
What is important I believe is that the message gets heard and people respect each others reputations on these forums, and if it just so happens that an incident and dispute comes up and others need to be warned about a certain individual, then the issue should be investigated accurately and have some solid proof before smearing or accusing on a public forum where peoples reputations are at the mercy of POSTS By OTHERS for credibility.......

There seems to be a misunderstanding about my cue for the record THE CUE IS NOT DAMAGED NOR WAS IT EVER DAMAGED.. 1 OF the 2 shafts has slight nick on the joint collar.....

Best I know cues don't have magic healing powers. So you wanna explain this one?

I think Pletho was a little out of line when he stated he damaged the cue. His words were the shaft fell in the snow and put a TINY NICK in the collar. I don't know about you guys but when I hear DAMAGED I think of a broken cue or big chunks taken out of the cue. Something along those lines. I really don't consider a TINY NICK in the collar to be damaged. As for I think he was out of line when he said the cue was damaged and realized that. So that is why he is now saying the cue was never damaged. Do you guys seriously consider a tiny nick to be a damaged cue? Just my thoughts..



And Pletho, If you would have better explained yourself on that note of damaged than you wouldn't be having this problem. If you would of said, Well when I said damaged all that happened was the shaft fell and got a tiny nick in the collar, I really don't think this would be an issue right now. You were over the top when you called the tiny nick damaged. You did use the word damage and then said it was never damaged so that is where the problem is. Since they don't know you it could come off sounding like a cover up, Even though that is not what it is.

Why put words in his mouth? He was given many chances to explain and didn't do a good job of it. No point in attempting to explain it for him.
