Jimbo...come on, man! You're exaggerating. The photos weren't great, that much is true...
If I'm exaggerating then you're underplaying it. The point is the pictures were blurry, it was a digital camera, not film there is no reason why anyone would take a blurry pic. I am not claiming to be a photographer, all I'm saying is that it's not hard to take a CLEAR shot, it doesn't have to be the quality of Icon's pics, but CLEAR so we can see the cue. I don't think that's a lot to ask of anyone, I doubt you'd post pics like that and I wouldn't either, to me it's common sense.
the guy's not a photographer. He admitted that right up front. But, they aren't so bad that you can't get the idea of what the cue looks like.
I think they are, I think they are very bad, and I'm no photographer either.
Not everybody is the be-all end-all of photography that you are.
I never claimed to be any such thing, all I said was post clear pics, not 1 of them was clear.
Yeah, I could tell it's a nice cue, and you could too if you weren't so set on acting like a jerk.
I'm glad you could see threw the blur and you knew it was good, It gave me a headache.BTW I wasn't the only one, just the only one willing to post it.
And, yes...your post was, in fact, mean in spirit (not unusual...in fact, quite expected of you).
I'm sorry you have such thin skin and I'm sorry you're the spokesman for the group, but I'm not hear to kill you with kindness, if you don't like the tone of my posts then just scroll past them, I'm sure your mouse works right??? BTW Maybe if you didn't read the name on top and just read my posts without prejudice you'd have a different opinion.
It's not a Ginacue, but you know what? It's what Woody likes, it's his cue and he's as proud of it as you would be of a Gina. You have a problem with that?
I never commented on the cue because I couldn't see it clear enough to judge it. I'm no cue snob and I wasn't trying to disparage the man's cue, I just commented on his blurry photos. I understand that you trying to put words in my mouth helps your case that I'm just a mean and evil dude, but it's just not the case.
He also SAID that the inlays weren't Ivory (the part you apparently failed to read).
He asked if certain parts were ivory, if I were the evil person you make me out to be I would have said that nobody on this board can tell from pics (specially not his) if something is real ivory. In today’s world of synthetics the fake stuff is very hard to tell from the real stuff.
Yeah, you're right..this is a forum for information sharing. It's not a forum for ripping on people because you don't like their photography skills.
I didn't rip on the guy I ripped on his pictures, NOT HIS CUE, NOT HIM, His pictures, try to get it right, I know you want so bad to make me out to be some evil menace to the world.
The comments were NOT well deserved and it's not your place to decide who can post what photos.
You start this by claiming I exaggerate and all you did this whole post was exaggerate and try to villainize me, I've never told anyone they shouldn't post pictures of their personal cues, I've never told anyone they should only post ginacues, you my friend are the one who exaggerates.
If you don't like them, don't look at them. It's simple...I assume the back button on your keyboard works?
