My New Wheat Cue...

While I stand by my feeling that something is FISHY about this whole deal.

I have no way to actually prove that the smell is factual, I don't have a FBI girlfreind!!

Mike, since "thekid" admitted that he is in fact a freind of EW's, please send the 10K to me asap!!! J/K :)

Seriously though.........I am also done with this thread!!!!!!

My apologies to EW, JB, the kid, mike and to whoever else I missed.

Enjoy your one week old "EW" cue !!

Sincerely,

Russ....

Is Wheat cues also known as East Coast Cue Repair ?

I'm sorry but something isn't right here.

East Coast Cue Repair is the name he used for repairs then came out with Wheat Custom Cues when he launched his" going national " campaign.
When Ed came on the board, he signed on in Dec 2006, but didn't really post until Dec 2007, when he then started his 'agenda' It followed the same lines as these 2 people, Make statements then end up looking like the victim of a mob mentality, therefore getting alot of sympathy greenies very early on. The rest of that story is now history. IMHO, I see the same thing starting all over again. I know Ed planned his appearance/campaign/ statements and who to attack first, very carefully, for a full year before he started it, as he had emailed me that statement back in roughly Feb of this year during an exchange of pms. I firmly believe he is capable of doing what has been suggested in this thread, from his own statements to me, andthe fact he never gives up easily. I do believe that there are too many discrepicies and coincidences about all this and feel that in the near future there will be a "told ya so" coming, but for now, I'm done with this.
With all that being said, I don't feel that I have done anything more than pointing out very obvious gaps, or problems with the stories from these '2' posters, and did nothing against either party(red rep) so therefore, no apology is forthcoming. If my opinion is grounds for banning, etc. then so be it.
I sincerly hope my opinion is incorrect, as I really do want to believe we are 'Wheat' free, and the forum isn't being suckkered, but my gut tells me otherwise.

farewell to this thread...

Thanks to all who have posted kind comments in response to my original post on this thread, and to everyone who has begun to come around..

To everyone else who has tried to do nothing but demoralize and bash my best friend and I from post #1, consider this, as I am sure that many of you already have: either I am Ed Wheat or I am not.

If I am EW, then congrats and my hats off to you for "figuring" me out...

If I am not EW, consider the fact that you negative posters have UNSUCCESSFULLY attempted to ruin a young kid's experience with his very first cue. An experience that was meant to be shared and enjoyed with others--something that was supposed to be fun. You people have tried to cheapen a good thing, but have failed. While you guys are in the forum harboring negativity against the innocent, he is out enjoying his brand new Wheat cue that he bought with his own hard-earned cash.

I pray that you all will find positivity and encouragement in this forum in the future, and that you will continue to give newcomers a warm welcome unless given reason to do otherwise.

This will be my final post in this thread..
Thanks again to Mr. Wilson, and much respect to everyone. :)

Kid I saw your cue, I held it in my hands along with Charlie Edwards' cue. I know you are not Eddie and I sure didn't want to get involved in any of this but I had to say something.......
I know Eddie messed up here but I do not think it's fair how you have been treated just because you bough a cue from EW.
Let it go and I hope you win a lot of games with the cue Eddie built for you.
I'll probably get bashed for this but I really don't care.
Leave him alone guys he is not Eddie Wheat.....
Have a wonderful evening.

Yes, I do occasionally refer to myself in the third person. It's a habit that comes from years of writing in APA (American Psychological Association) format for research papers.

In this particular format, everything must be written from the third person to remove bias...

What I wrote, however, was obviously not an APA style research paper, it was a brief note--the intent of which was: 1). to thank many people on this forum for the kind messages that I have received, and 2). to address one particular individual whom I felt offended me personally with a very unthoughtful and insensitive comment...

For all those negative posters out there on this forum, remember why I started this thread: to share the truth about my personal experience with Ed Wheat.....

Okay, I was following this not quite sure what to make of things at first.

I was VERY suspicious of the timing, wording and coincidences in the beginning. I decided to wait for more info.

My opinion is that the kidd is NOT EW , he also is not the owner of the EW cue. He oviously was invovled with the sale of this cue as a third party ( from EW to a friend of his (JB) ).

The problem is that the kidd did misrepresent himself as the buyer?owner of this cue. I do not know why.

I mean you are trying to speak out about a very notorious cuemaker. You are trying to vouch for honesty and integrity all the while not coming out honestly with your real part in the deal. This was not a good move to help out anyones image on here.

My guess is that you are a friend of EW, that is why you were involved with the cue instead of the owner of the cue dealing directly with EW. And that you may have been encouraged by EW to post on here to help him out. EW even mentions this thread during his meltdown. Maybe he called you to ask a favor.

I am sorry that you got as much flak as you did for posting on here. I do think that some (or most) could have been avoided if you would have simply been more straight up from the beginning. You could have just as easily said " I helped a friend of mine order a cue from EW, and he loves it, etc". I don't know why you chose too misrepresent yourself as the owner, especially with a cue with initials on it.

So while this situation is regrettable, I think that it was combination of errors. You have to admit that all of it was VERY fishy, and even a little bit of dishonesty or misrepresentation was all that was needed to keep the fire going.

I'm sorry to break my word of being done with this, but going from 'a friend since I ordered the cue' to ' best friend'???????
Hello everyone, see any hand writing on the wall??? Unless I'm missinterpeting who he's calling his best friend as being the builder, or could it be the actual owner?:confused: :confused: :confused:
 
It sure sounds like the father is posting as/for his son. Which is not realy the same as trying to decieve anybody. Dave you need to have some fun. I have read many of your posts from the last few months and I have to wonder if any of them were posative? you could suck the fun out of Disnyland !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(yeah thats right I used a bunch of these -!!!!- Am I Eddie to? Ha Ha)

I am curious. What gives you this idea? I missed ANY references of this nature.

He starts a thread called " MY new wheat cue", it turns out that the cue is not his and does not appear to be all that new. I do believe that at least some misrepresentation did occur here. Again, not the best move when standing up for honesty and integity, while defending someone's less than honest activities. jmho.

I also do not feel that everybody should automatically jump all over anyone who says anything positive about an EW cue. I bet there are a couple of decent cues that came out of there ( I hate to admit it, but it seems probable). I personally don't have a problem with, or dispute the cues quality ( I have zero experience with them). My problem is, and has always been with the actions of the cuemaker.

This whole mentality comes from a good place. People on here looking out for others. The timing of this was bad. It totally sounded like an ad, and people were right to be suspicious.

I hope that we can be on our gaurd ( I really do not think we have heard the last from EW, he will find some way to make a statement) , while treating others ( especially new members) with at least a little benefit of the doubt. I think I am done with this, and hope we all can let it die. I know a lot of you already have, I hope to join you.:smile:
