It takes man balls to apologize publicly for something that was said privately. There are a lot of people on this forum that would not even own up to it, let alone apologize. I, for one, commend you on this.
Hope all is well.

Somehow it doesn't wow me quite as much since it came only after a public shaming but then again my cues are in the $300 range and I have no dog in this fight.
There are MANY people that belong here that has acted way worst than this that would never even admit they did any thing wrong, so the fact Robert apologized publicly for something we can't even read anymore and it was said in private to begin with,...says something about that person. Now it's on the OP to show if he accepts the apology or not, but the rest of the peanut gallery should shut up and see what happens before piling on for no reason.

Mr. Harris publishd an apology.....it was well composed.......and sounded very sincere to my reading.......NUF CED!
It takes a lot of fortitude to write something that does not portray the writer as a good guy.......in fact, it takes a lot to resist denial and quarreling with your attackers........I think I probably caught Mr. harris on a bad day when I wrote to him about the logo........and all of us have had bad days........and it's tough losing a parent.........and the passage of time takes awhile for the hurt & sorrow to diminish.
Mr. Harris, you jumped up several rungs on my ladder of respect with your post. Thank you for coming forth to comment and your post was entirely well recived by this reader and I encourage.....I beseech....your other critics to calm down and let's just get back to the business of cue-making and Mr. Harris has created some dazzling cue butt designs.
On another note, I notice that you seem to prefer to use Juma in your cue construction, instead of ivory. which is one of the reasons I've resisted getting one of your cues. I realize you can build a cue using ivory and just wondered whether you have found that Juma plays similar to ivory? Personally, my thinking is that a lot of the cues I've seen on the Forum made by Mr. Harris would be even more top notch if Ivory was used instead of Juma........there's been a couple that I was really attracted to but the Juma diminished my interest.
Mr. Harris has expressed an apology and that should be adequate to quiet the ruckus and like I wrote earlier, he elevated his image with me by doing so.

If he is truly sorry, then he will refrain from such attacks in the future... but past apologies have only been followed by more attacks. Those apologies may not have been public, but that should not matter. I wouldn't jump to quick conclusions Matt.
So the OP and the Cue Maker are in one group, the rest of is are the peanut gallery... and you are what?
Robert did apologize to me and l accepted. It doesn't mean I still don't have a bad taste in my mouth. Two of the top and most respected cuemakers on the planet along with myself were highly insulted. I hope he has learned from his mistake and things will become good in his life.

He steals all his designs and he's a jerk. I'll stay away from him.
Harris
You have seen his cues, we all have and I think we all can agree he
makes some really nice cues.

I don't no if he's a jerk or not, but to say he steals designs that just foolish.
The man makes some beautiful cues at good prices.
