I guess I'd agree with you if by staying on topic you mean the only thing we can do here is kiss each others ass. What have we learned from you telling bill how great he is and how great the cues are. I guess since I don't do that after every one of my pals posts I am adding nothing to the group. I don't want you to leave I just want you to know I get the fact that you love Bill, I get you guys are friends, I really don't need to see it after every one of his posts. I guess I should apologize and beg you not to leave, I mean if you aren't here to be nice to Bill who will, and then the whole group loses out;-)
That was a joke Bret, lighten up after all I hear this cue world is a small one.

Dear Jim,
Your point is duly noted concerning the perceived boring nature some of my replies. I will endeavor to work on that.
Regarding 'kiss ass'. Jim, I have seen you stereoptype many of us members with that label. I would like you to take just a moment, and think about this concept. I have enjoyed many of your posts, and have gotten a kick out of them. You are to be commended for your debate skills, and I appreciate your mind set. The fact is, my personality is different from yours. My nature is genuine, but you view that as kiss ass. I think that if you respect others,
and even if you view as timid or 'K.A.', understand, that it is their nature, as they understand that your more abrasive approach is your nature, but still respect and absorb the points that you and they, are making.
I do agree with you Jim, in that these forums would sure be 'boring' if they were nothing more than back & forth 'feel goods' between members. In some ways I wish I did have some of the Jimbo aggressiveness, cause it makes for fun viewing...
I will work toward 'lightening up' and hopefully you can work on respecting
the disposition of others.......but don't view ones disposition as an inability to debate. Try me on something meaningful, not something insignificant like..
'I get the fact that you love Bill'.... ye-gods, how does one reply to that?
As a first step in the lightening up and not being so 'K.A.' process,
let me say this.. GET SOME CUES MAN, and post em, then you'd be legit..
you see, we're a bunch of cue addicts in this forum, and we understand that mind set, and know the time, work & energy involved in acquiring and staying atop of those collections! If you don't buy, trade cues, how can you possibly contribute to this forum?? (how'd I do??). Kind Regards, Brett
