I'm positive that playing against me is a negative experience....
I'm very positive. WHAT THE F*(& ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY???? THAT I'M NOT??? WHO THE *(&*( ARE YOU TO SUGGEST THAT I'M NOT A MOTHER(*y&*^ POSITIVE PERSON? LOOK AT YOU, ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY!!! DO YOU PAY MY BILLS? DO YOU WALK MY DOG???? I DON'T THINK SO!!!! SO WHY DON'T YOU GET OFF YOUR HIGH-HORSE AND COME BACK DOWN TO EARTH AND LIVE MY LIFE FOR A CHANGE!!!!!
Sorry, had to vent. Have a nice day!

I think that I am a positive person but most people think that I am negative because I always analyze everything. I worked as a engineer had to look at the negative to see the positives to make sure that you were getting or making the best product.
You can twist stuff around to make anything look good or bad.
Example: My boss told someone that I was a steady employee that only missed work one day in 7 years. I said "See that I only f..ked up one time and that is all you remember." He just laughed and replied "I just said something positive and you made it a negative. That is why we get along so well. You have a good sense of humor and we are on the same page."

I posted the following two topics at the same time. Note that the negative topic received more replies and views than the positive topic...

You do the math, mountain oyster.
Image of pool - first post by mountain oyster. ok, I'll read
Image of billiards - well, the moron posted again. let's see what he said now
Image of cueing arts - I wish this dumbass would quit this. No way I'm touching this thread. It'll only encourage him.
Why, dude, would you call yourself an oyster?

I think this equates to the fact that most people on this site play pool. Less people play billiards. Noone is interested in cueing arts.
I tried "cueing arts" once, it sucks
POOL, on the other hand, kicks ass

I was just trying to be positive again by using different names for positive and negative. Organic vs. Conventional
Organic by means of positive to earth and humans and conventional for mass production while harming earth. Positive v negative in a way.
Want to know why I am called the oyster...go to my website www.cueingarts.com
Again, as I have said before, Randy at Cue-Tech also uses Cueing Arts and has been for over 20 years, as well as Cue Sport, both BCA Master Academies. This term is perfect as they saw it for explaining the differences in the intellectual approach to the sport of billiards. One who becomes a true student of the game can be known as a cueing artist, one who merely plays for social reasons may be just a pool player.
One can certainly choose which one fits thier own personal perspective. No worries here which one they choose. Just that we all know there is a clear separation between the two is all that matters.
As I see it, pool can be very positive in ones own sence of the word, just as Cueing Arts can be very positive in another. Facts are clear that "pool" has a negative image and Cueing Arts for the most has a very positive image approach toward a new vision. I am sure many would like to consider themselves a true Cueing Artist vs. just a pool player.
Cheers,

Easy tiger that was almost a little "Zen-ish"
I don't know what Mr. White is up to exactly with these posts/questions, but I do know that "image" so far as commercial products goes is very very important to companies.
Some companies spend millions of dollars doing product research, finding the right name for a product, and even which colors to use on the packaging.
So I think this type of information could be of value to those on this forum who are instructors or have billiard related businesses.
If the business is instruction, then it might matter where the business is located...
My area is "low class" or "no class". Beer and whiskey is what they drink at my house. They drive high-rise pick-up trucks and 4x4's. It is not uncommon for visitors to my house to pee in my front yard (I think they are marking their territory) or leave beer cans on my lawn. So I think the name "Pool School" might fly better around here.
However in an upscale area, I suppose "School of Cueing Arts" might be a better choice.

the cheese still thinks you are insincere and/or double faced.
