I'm sorry John but you have it wrong. When I received the email from Marty this morning I simply stated that I didn't want to sell him the cue because of his reputation. The exact wording was "sorry but I do not want to sell you this cue because your reputation precedes you.
And you thought what would happen? So you know the guy's rep and you rub his face in it and you expected what? That he would reply with something like, "I see, sorry you feel that way, have a nice day." ????
Within minutes I received the response I posted in the first post of this thread. In hindsight I should have just ignored him but seeing as how he tried to rob a friend (see cuemaker03's post in this thread) several years ago I wanted to let him know that treating people like that doesn't go un-noticed.
Oh I see, so you figured that you'd get a little revenge by antagonizing him and then publishing the results. Well good job, you succeeded in telling us what we already know.
Regardless of how you feel about me, I try to treat people honestly and fairly which is why I stood up initially for tasaddics in the counterfeit thread.
Like you treated Matt Carter, the general manager of Sterling Gaming, fairly and honestly by calling him a liar? Which by the way you have not yet apologized for. You're an instigator that's all.
As I have told you more than once now, I did not post after it was proven that the case in question was indeed counterfeit thread but yet you still felt it necessary to leave me a neg rep.
You got negative rep because your initial post was asinine. Do I care that you slunk away once MORE evidence came out that Jason Lee was indeed a thief? The fact is that you acted hypocritically and by your own admission you are still acting like a hypocrite.
I'm curious how many people you left a negative for that basically did the same thing I did and stick up for a long standing member before the truth came out. It's kind of funny, I received a positive rep for that same post. I wonder why that was?
Only you got a negative rep from me because you started in with the calling Matt and Sterling liars. You introduced that negativity plus the big red herring about the brand name. And do I care if some other numbnuts who likes thieves gave you positive rep? So what? I don't care if you got a 1000 positive reps for it. You got a red rep from me because I felt that your post deserved it. And what did you do, you whined to me about it and asked me why I red repped you. Then you cried about my answer.
If you were an honorable man, you would have considered seining me a pm asking me to retract the post but no, you have to send me a bunch of pm's acting like a little child and leave me a neg rep.
Oh, so you receiving extra information and directing you contact myself or Matt wasn't enough for you to, oh I don't know, may CONTACT us to get the rest of the story???? And please get your story straight. I red repped you and THEN you contacted me. Not the other way around.
Oh, and you're right, I typed the wrong thing. You did not send me emails, you sent me pm's. My mistake but you did send me about 6-7 in less than an hour. Three of which were continued into each other because you were ranting so long.
I answered your questions. Here is the whole thing in case you don't remember: http://forums.azbilliards.com/blog.php?b=521
And yes, I did send the first pm to you right after I had discovered that you left me the neg rep. I asked you why you felt it necessary to leave me the neg rep.
And I answered you. And your attitude about it and complete lack of sense as to how you were wrong in this situation is why I have zero sympathy for you having to endure Marty Hermann's attacks. You could have chosen to ignore Marty's email or found another way to decline dealing with him but you went out of your way to instigate him. So don't cry when he does what you expected him to do.
