Fred, the unproductive stuff was the insults and misquotes from Jimbo...period. I don't appreciate that stuff and I won't respond to it in the future.
You might as well not respond because this is all just lies and since you have no proof the best thing for you to do is lie and run and hide.
As I have said repeatedly, I'm thankful for all the advice I've gotten, both on this board, and from others that I've shown the cue to, and contrary to your beliefs, I have been listening since the very first post - I'm here to learn and I'm surprised you think I was sleeping the entire time and needed Jimbo's insults to "wake me up". I don't need anyone's insults.
You said I insulted you, that was a lie the proof you tried to use came from a post that was made AFTER you made that claim. The fact is you took things the wrong way and you are stubborn. I really don't mind giving advice here and sometimes I do it in a way that comes across poorly (I can admit this) but the fact is when someone who is less educated comes here and asks for advice and then blows people off it's insulting, and that's just what you did, believe it or not. I knew how you were from the post where I wished you luck in life. I should have opted out then because it was clear from then that you are one of those people who are unable to learn and take advice, I just hope Jerry also sees it and charges you, you deserve it. Keep claiming you were insulting and ignore me all you want the thread will be here and anyone who wants to see the proof can read it for themselves.
After hearing enough advice and understanding the situation, I completely agree that the cue has a problem, but I also think it's minor, it doesn't affect playability, and the cue is not going to "fall apart" as some have hinted. Agreed, I would not have called Jerry about it any time soon if I had not been participating in these board exchanges, but I felt that this "conversation" wasn't going to be resolved until I sent it in, and I needed to either do that or walk away from this thread. I think several people here were interested (at least slightly) in an outcome, and I had the "new shaft" excuse for mailing off the butt anyway. So it's done, and I'll report back when I have more information.
More proof that you just don't care to educate yourself, buying a new shaft doesn't require the butt to be sent, but since it was *YOUR* excuse you can hide behind it all you want and you can feel smart. I'm not sure what it is in your personality that doesn't allow you to take people's advice and just go into something with an open mind, but it will cost you down the line. I'm sure you'll think this is all an insult, Do with it what you will and please continue not to respond because so far your responses have been lies.
As far as "misrepresenting" this board - I don't lie about anything. I also have participated on enough public forums to know that none are troublemaker-free, and I'll do my best not to be one of those. If I didn't enjoy this forum and think it was exceptional, I wouldn't be here.
