Jimbo: I think it's clear to see why trying to argue with you is pointless, it's implied to anyone who can read that the post is about people other then those you put on your list. The implication would be that you put those people on the list because you order from them and want to push them. I can't believe you are this dumb, but maybe it shouldn't be a shocker. And if you didn't understand the question why didn't you put down the cues you ordered from the two OTHER guys on your list?
No, this is what you asked...
Of course you can make me look real dumb, just give a list of guys who YOU ( you not Mark) have ordered more then 1 or 2 cues in the last 5 years.
Nowhere here or in that post can you even say you “implied” something other than you wrote. You know what you should do, change your signature to say “if you want to debate me you must have the mind of the great Cresskin” because now we all have to be mind readers. BTW I did say what I ordered from the other guys. But that doesn’t mean CRAP. Do you think everyone who posted an opinion ordered a cue from everyone on his or her list? Why hold me to a higher standard? Outside of your obsession? But go back to your new question.. the other two guys? I believe I said I ordered alot of Skips, but that just qualifies what I said. Not what you said. Mottey? I haven't ordered any, and he is still on my list. Oh well, there goes your arguement.
Jimbo: I'm glad you went on and on about something that has nothing to do with what I said, you added 2 cues that you said you were partners with, that's not you Joe, that's Mark, and if you went partners it's not Just you and you keep wanting to be separate from him so why bring him up here?? O yeah I forgot it's because in this case you feel it helps you out LOL.
Not quite, I answered the question you ASKED. Yes they are also MINE. I mentioned him because you asked about the cues I ordered. You’re right the fact Mark and I are partners is irrelevant, but God knows I didn’t want that bought up a next week that I “hid” this fact from our discussion. But hey since you know our business, you probably knew that already anyways.
Jimbo: Or it's your opinion, but you seem to have trouble differentiating the two and always have.
Well all I can say is you should get out the house more. It could be my opinion but having seen enough cues, I can comfortably call it a fact.
Jimbo:How is Skip's inlays better the Barry's, Joel's or Andy Gilberts?? And I can post a few pictures of Skip's work with crappy rounded inlays just from the last few years.
Yes you can. BUT you cannot now. A few years ago he wouldn’t have been on my list for that very same reason. Hey maybe you’re getting it now. How are they better, get a couple a compare them. Ask anyone who has seen his new cues. Ask Tom Gallager, he just took delivery. I would put them up against ANY cue. You got that now? I know you’ll say.. well he is my friend bla.. bla.. but I have a way around that. Icon is a friend of a friend of Toms. This person saw the Skip. Now I will run the risk because this person thinks I don’t like him, that’s not true but it’s a risk I will take. He posts here under Max06. Ask him for his honest opinion.
Jimbo: I like Skip's point work and that's about it, I don't believe that can put you in the top 3 when there are many people out there who do all things well and many better then Skip including design work which I think we all know is one of the biggies in my mind.
Well see design work is part of YOUR criteria, but it’s not mine. Surely that wasn’t part of the poll either. If the poll was best designed cue, artistically, Skip wouldn’t have been on my list because he don’t build those kind of cues. But it was a general poll of what you thought were the top three cuemakers. I posted mine, where are yours you classless jerkwad? But in the case of design, his slotted diamond upgrade to the classic patterns, as simple as it was, made it heads and shoulders above the traditional. IMHO of course.
Jimbo: And guess what? That's my opinion and I don't care what you think LOL. And since you seem to want to keep twisting the argument I think I'm as big a supporter of Skip and I know I'm a bigger supporter of Paul's then you are, twist that. LOL
Good for you, you are entitled to your opinions, and to give mine obviously. Twist what? You might be as “big” a supporter of both, but only in weight. But a bigger supprter of Pauls? LOL Yeah I can count the times I have slammed him on a digit less hand, for you I would need all my extremities. With friends like you, who needs enemas?
