Ray,
Your posts in regards to CW continue to be inflammatory and full of innuendos. I don't know what you or anyone else thinks that accomplishes. Thanks for the nice words about me being a great commentator. We're still buds but we just differ on the way and manner of how to resolve problems.
It is apparent that there are two schools of thought on how you get things done and how you get problems corrected.
It has always been my school of thought is that if you have a legitimate complaint about something you are involved in, you go to the source and do the complaining or the expressing of your opinion and try to have it resolved there.
You do it in private, you do it with respect to the other person or company. It seems that you and many other posters make every attempt to condemn CW and DP at every turn. It may just be my perspective and no one else's but if I were as concerned about the goings on as you and other posters seem to be, I would be requesting audiences with the parties or at least writing respectful letters condemning the things you see as unjust. THEN-MAYBE, just maybe, the parties might consider what you are saying.
To think that the pocket billiard industry is mainly about excellence in pocket billiard skills is myopic at best.
I'm not disagreeing with anyone about the way any tournament is run including this one. I'm just saying that there are many more things that have to be considered to run a successful enterprise.
Without the hard work of Cindy Lee, Charlie Williams and all of the players in their stable there would not be any money being earned by anyone.
There will always be ways to improve the way tournaments are promoted and held but constructive criticism applied to where it will do some good is far more important to change than shouting off the roof top of some large building.
Sarah is a great gal but she does herself no good (even though her complaints seem something to complain about), nor do we by attempting to denigrate those who are making an effort to improve the lot of pool.
If there is a better way, let those who complain the loudest get off their duffs and do it better.
Look, I fully understand everyone's frustration and everyone has a right to complain about whatever bothers them but jumping on CW, DP or any other pool entity at every turn makes about as much sense as cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Maybe the incessant public condemnations might bring about change or maybe an end to CW and DP's work in the pool world. I believe change is more easily brought about by discussion with the parties involved, interaction with them and hard work.
Maybe you and others think the pool world would be better off without CW and DP and maybe that is what you would like to see. If so, then I personally think you are misjudging what is best for the pool world.
Sincerely,
JoeyA
. I am not saying that I could do it perfectly, but I am a decent enough person to not do it as opposed to doing it this poorly. But hey, this is jmo.
