Can't help but notice of late, tempers are flaring, and some pretty sharp words are being traded.
We have a real mixture of personalities here..just like you would find in any "good old, hard ass" pool room or bar.
Many of our group enjoy the adversarial give and take, and some just want to learn all the X's and 0's of one pocket...the two groups don't seem to mesh well at times, so let me offer a possible solution to this dillema.
Personally, I cannot get into the WEI table as a viable way of determining what to do in ANY given situation. Too many variables, and too much disension if someone's shot is not accepted as the best manuever
I understand a complete "newbie" might derive something of value, but I don't think we have that many newbies on board...so it becomes a senseless pissing contest. (especially when balls get moved around ;) ) But thats just me...some of you seem to really get off on WEIing.
The other area (needling, hi-jacking, calling out, casting "aspersions", etc) are best left to the ones who are pro's at it. I am, no doubt the worst (or best) instigator, and constant offender in that camp.
Some like Dennis, Steve L., and at times Beardo and Ghost,.. can tolerate my verbal abuse. No needle is sharp enough to cause permanent injury, and they usually fire back in kind. (epidural thickness can be critical, at times)
To me this is a fun, healthy discourse, and a way to pass the time, while other things in life, may not be going all that well.
My solution is..if it is boring to you, just do like I do with Cocobola Cowboy...I ignore him !!!
To the group of forum member's (and you know who you are) who take exception to my (our) brand of humor, and byplay...I would like to again, steal a few words from Redd Foxx...This is how he closed his Vegas act....
"Ladie's and gentlemen. If, during the course of my trying to entertain you this evenin'...If I have hurt, or offended anyone, in any way...
I want you to know, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart...That I don't give a shit !!!:rolleyes:
