Well the pictures I took sure dont do the cue justice!

If you don't have manual focus, then I'm guessing there's a macro feature on your camera. It should look like a little flower. Try that.

Well put!

Stop insulting me. Why do you have to be so snide. Just because you don't like my cue doesn't mean you have to rip me apart. Get a life, you big bully.

I assume you realize that your opinion means no more or less then mine and the fact that you love or hate a cue has no effect on me or what I think of it. I suggest you continue to post your opinion and skip over mine if you feel it's something you can't handle. I can assure you that mine will be honest and I'll stand behind it
Jim

Yes...I realize that my opinion means no more or less THAN yours (then is not the correct word here). I don't love or hate cues to begin with, they are inanimate objects and don't require or respond to either of those emotions. I may like or dislike the design of a cue, but love and hate don't enter into the picture. However, if I did, then (NOW it's the correct word) I certainly would not expect nor want it to have any effect on you or your opinion of said cue. You haven't posted anything yet that I can't handle. You aren't capable of that. You HAVE posted some things that have "rubbed me the wrong way" a little (and believe me...I'm am definitely NOT the only one), mostly because you tend to have an abrasive "holier-than-thou", know-it-all, self-righteous attitude and you tend to post these unprovoked smartass comments. That's OK. I'll just point it out to you when you're being a smartass....that's my job just as much as pointing out to Woody that his photos are out of focus is your job. He already knew his photos were out of focus and you already knew you were being a smartass. When I feel that I need to post my opinion, I can assure you I will..be it about a cue or be it about something you have posted....it will be honest and I will stand behind it. I can get along with anybody, but I don't suffer fools or smartasses.

Well.... let's recap:



to which JimBo replies:



Anything snide in that? Looks like a confirmation to me.

and furthermore:



to which DawgAndy replied:


Both looked ribbing, but certainly not out of the question. The pictures are fuzzy.

Words are words. Just read them and move on.

Fred

Fred,

I respectfully disagree with your assessment of the post in question....not that it really matters. I believe that Jimbo was trying to be a smartass....it's kind of the way he works from what I've seen in the past.

"Words are words. Just read them and move on."

Yep...I FULLY agree. And, pictures are just pictures...look at them and move on.

One final note. It's not what you say, it's how you say it. It would have been just as easy to say something like:

"It looks like a nice cue, but it's hard to tell from the photos. Maybe you could try to make some clearer photos and repost."

Or, just ignore the whole damned thread and move on if you don't feel like being a civil adult.


But...

"The inlays aren't Ivory and please learn to focus your camera, I have a headache from looking.

Jim"


...is just being snide, no matter how you slice it. I dunno....maybe where you guys come from people talk to each other that way. Here we have a little respect for each other.

Fred, I happen to LOVE your cue, as if you couldn't tell from my posts I LOVE Pink Ivory Wood, the contrast in that cue is great (for a chick) If you ever want to Move that Girly cue please post it in the for sale section and let me know first, I'd love to own it.

Now you're the grammar police?? Shit that will take up more of your stalking time then your assessment of my posts and what *I* meant by them. I don't spel verry gewd and I don't punctiate wel either, neither matters much to me, when I get graded or paid I'll work on it, until then I'm pretty sure you got the message (specially since you corrected it).

I don't love or hate cues to begin with, they are inanimate objects and don't require or respond to either of those emotions. I may like or dislike the design of a cue, but love and hate don't enter into the picture.

WOW Nice attempt to change the focus of this topic an object being inanimate has little do do if you love it or hate it, love or hate are just words in this case, please don't get all emotional on us. If you were to take every post this literal you'd have to believe that many people here have a drooling problem and that some would even sell their first born for some cues, it's just words Gerry. But since you are being so literal here I'll add that cues are made of Ivory, Leather, Abalone, MOP, And Wood all of which were animate objects at one point, some cues I love, plants are also animate objects and I've Never loved one of those.

However, if I did, then (NOW it's the correct word) I certainly would not expect nor want it to have any effect on you or your opinion of said cue.

Why not? You're important Gerry, your opinion should matter. ;-)

You haven't posted anything yet that I can't handle. You aren't capable of that. You HAVE posted some things that have "rubbed me the wrong way" a little

Want a tissue?? It's just words Ger, don't take it so personal, I feel you're a very emotional guy and you may need to be sheltered from the harsh world, I suggest the CCB for you, it's a little more tame.

(and believe me...I'm am definitely NOT the only one),

Sorry I've effected so many in such a bad way, also thanks for taking the reins on this and being the AZ group spokesperson, believe it or not there have been a few who claim to like what I write (how can that be??) Which group should I be more concerned about?? it's a good question isn't it?

mostly because you tend to have an abrasive "holier-than-thou", know-it-all,

I'll accept your abrasive tag, but the other 2 just aren't right I never ever claim to know anything, I'm downright clueless, I do have some strong opinions that I am willing to fight for and I do often have real life experience and proof to back up what I say. I'm sure I'd be a lot smarter if I just agreed with you on every topic though right?

self-righteous attitude and you tend to post these unprovoked smartass comments.

Unprovoked is a real funny word here, you see this is a forum where people are Encouraged to post, when you create a post you are inviting others to comment, in a way you are asking for people to do what I do, like it or not. You put a post out there and it's open to debate and comment, if you only want praise then I think posting in a public place isn't the right thing to do, although I somehow feel that you and others think that's the way it should be. No where is it written that this is a place for people to post pics of cues and ONLY nice things can be posted. Often times people say "What do you think?" or "Let me know how you like it" It's unfortunate but sometimes what people think isn't always nice, shoulod they shut up?? I'm sure in your world they should, but I don't like that world, I like this one where we have freedom of speech. "If you don't have anything nice to say..." is a very nice way to raise your kids, but I'm pretty sure it's not written in the Constitution or in the rules here at AZ.

That's OK. I'll just point it out to you when you're being a smartass....

That's fine, you're opinion is welcome by me, I support freedom of speech (even for you) but try to make it your opinion next time and stop trying to be the group spokesman and all around AZ nice guy. Also when you tell people to ignore me you might want to set a good example and do it yourself, can't you see where your behavior may be interpreted as hypocritical??

that's my job just as much as pointing out to Woody that his photos are out of focus is your job. He already knew his photos were out of focus and you already knew you were being a smartass. When I feel that I need to post my opinion, I can assure you I will..be it about a cue or be it about something you have posted....it will be honest and I will stand behind it. I can get along with anybody, but I don't suffer fools or smartasses.

I get along with most people also, a good reason why is because I'm honest and I am what I am, believe it or not people don't mind it. I'm sure that I could have lots more "friends" here if all I did was say nice things about every cue and picture posted here, but that gets old fast, don't ya think??

Change the color of your font, it gives me a headache to read, just one step beyond what the words actually say themselves....

LOL Glad to hear I still have an effect on you also, I really do love you guys, maybe you should all join up a 12 step JimBo support group.

You don't have any effect on me whatsoever. You talk big because you think you have the ultimate end-all opinion and that's the way it is. As I have said before, I think you are a cock, but a cock with some valid points 1 out of 100 posts that you make, which I have also mentioned in the past.

So with that said............ party on, Jimbo. :D

Now I'm confused, first you claim I gave you a headache and now you claim I have no effect on you, which is it?
Also you guys keep saying I think I have the ultimate opinion, yet I continue to say mine is worth no more or less then yours, are you just mad that you can't form an intelligent opinion or that you can't back one up? Or is it that you just don't have the balls to give one?
Calling me a male rooster isn't really bringing much to the table as far as I'm concerned, but it does show some tiny balls on your part (I guess?).
Trust me the party is going on, some day we may party in the same room, I hope you don't lose your opinion of me then.

Ok, Jim. I especially loved the nice subtle threat at the end. I can have the "battle of wits" with you, but quite honestly, you aren't worth the time.

Criticize, cut down all you want, I don't care. Have a good one.

ps - I'll never lose my opinion of you, because I really don't have one.....

Not surprised you missed my point, there was no threat there, I don't make online threats they are pointless, about as pointless as name calling. I'm also glad that you now claim I'm not worth your time yet you've tried to attack and bait me numerous times. I didn't drag you in this thread and I sure as heck didn't call you names and bring you up to give you a reason to jump in. Sorry that I made that ball comment it's now clear you have none, you came in and called me a name and now you want to spin it blame me and run. You have the nice day.

I haven't baited nor have I attacked any more than you have. I didn't miss your point, I just don't care.

Runalong, now.... almost time for your shift to start... the beers don't pour themselves, you know...

Thanks for the suggestion Fred. It is auto focus. There is a flower on it, but it was already on that setting when I took the last pictures (not intentionaly LOL). I am going to get the book out that came with the camera and see if there are any good suggestions in it.

Thanks again, any other helpful tips?

I have no beef with you, you seem to be the one with the grudge, I have never searched out one of your posts and called you names or commented about what a moron you are, you on the other hand...

I didn't miss your point, I just don't care.

No you missed it, but again, no shocker, you ain't that bright, and you do care or you wouldn't stalk so much. You're trying waaay to hard.

Runalong, now.... almost time for your shift to start... the beers don't pour themselves, you know...

No they don't, stop in some night I'll pour you one, then maybe I'll take your cash in a 1 hole game. LOL wait another threat LOL. O wait that was an insult because I have a job right?? LOL Good one.

Jim

PS We don't sell Shlitz lite, or any other $3 a case beer you prolly drink.

Yes put the LCD screen on, push the button 1/2 way in till it focuses (you should be able to tell in the screen), then press all the way. Try taking the pics in good light (outside on a sunny overcast day) without a flash. If you're too close take them further away and crop the picture (take at high res). But try not to use the flash it gives to much glare. Also you should be able to view the pic after you take it and zoom in (the screen is small) when you zoom in if it's blurred PLEASE DELETE and try again.

Good Luck I can't wait to see your cue.

Jim <---Hoping this wasn't to mean spirited ;-)

Wow, you're way off the mark, buddy.... I have no beef with you either. If you'll notice, my original post was said in a humorous tone, however I notice that you didn't take it that way... No grudge, sorry you think there is.... you must have one with me based upon the threat as mentioned above, commenting on my supposed "lack of balls" - for what, I have no idea...

and for the record, it's either Heineken, Dos Equis, or a Black & Tan..... sorry, but I prefer good beer, hope that doesn't make you think anything different of me.

Have a good one, Jim. It's 6am and I've gotta get out of here and get to work.... I have a job too.

That was a good response. Good information...friendly...a worthwhile post! I knew you had to have that in you, Jimbo. :)
