Posting Pet Peeves Par Tous
Fred Agnir
be none. So, I decided to throw another one of my posting pet peeves on the
board. Actually I've got a few.
1. Blanket Statements
I think its human nature to post a sweeping statement like "whippy shafts on
Meuccis deflects more", or "you need to use inside english to make frozen
rail shots" , but without some kind of back up to that statement, it
becomes useless. This is a discussion board. Contribution is great, but
blanket statements without attempt of proof just doesn't work.
which leads me to:
2. Trust me; Believe me
Lately, I've been really irked with these two decrees. "Trust me, Meucci
cues suck" or "you don't want to buy a Brunswick, believe me". Why should I
believe or trust you? Give me some fat to chew on, please.
and
3. In my years of playing this game...
Never ever is "years of play" a requisite for knowledge of this game. We all
know people who have played this game for a zillion years who suck.
Therefore, if the backup to your side of the debate starts off with "I've
been playing for 30 years and...", then you obviously don't respect the
notion that others on this group have enough knowledge and years of the game
themselves.
That's it for now.
This helped, trust me.
Regards,
Fred Agnir

You must have. Every one knows that is how lawyers say trust me. And with
all my years of experience practicing law, I should know, so fuck you,
err.... I mean trust me ;-)
Pollock - isn't that a fresh water fish - like a mullet or pike or
something????

I guess the reason I'm reluctant to believe anything you say is that
you don't have enough sense to get rid of that Meucci. You should really
unload that thing. Trust me, I knew a guy once that lost his eye when a
pointy inlay on his Meucci popped out. These are truly awful, dangerous
cues. I've been playing this game since the Johnson administration and
I can honestly say that these cues are the real reason this game can't
get ahead. Don't believe me? You don't see snooker players using them,
do you? Look how much they get paid! I'd burn that thing if I were
you, were it not for the guy that accidentally burned down his whole
house in a terrible Meucci-burning incident. Better to jump on your
horse and flog him with that Meucci (God knows it whippy enough) to the
nearest landfill and dump it out. Believe me, you're game will improve.
I agree with you that these things are annoying-almost as annoying as
that guy who grabs for the chalk just after he misses, only to slam it
back down in the rail upside down.
