OK,today, this evening, I ran out of patience.
« on: June 28, 2006, 12:02:05 PM »
Most time, I give people enough rope to hang themselves. Today, sorry, but I ran completely out of patience. I took some people to task for STUPID, DUMB, not thought-out comments. I apologize, in advance, for being so ... frank and abrupt.

I have seen, recently, too many, FAR too many really stupid, amateur (read: zero experience) comments on balls, drillings and the like. I have held my tongue, solely because I am a bad typist and people get too easily offended and seem unwilling to learn from their mistakes (Ego problem??). Today, I have had my limit and I posted some potential (?) corrections in probably not the most polite manner.

For this I apologize in advance. Again.

Folks, please learn, then insure what what you have learned; then correct or post corrections when you are sure.

Sigh ...

doc,

You are the sanity in the midst of insanity. My props to you!

OK, I'll see if I can dig up some examples:

1. http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=128732&ForumID=87&CategoryID=2
Ths guy is sanding a super early grabbing lane ball baacuse it's not hooking early epough. The bal is 99 times outof 100 grabbing too early and hooking out. Observe what's happening, XXXX!

2. http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=128727&ForumID=77&CategoryID=2

Guy doesn't recognize the diff between a skid/flip light  Ebonite pearl and a RG solid/pearl medium oil polished solid/pearl combo. Large diff between thes two balls FOR ALL BOWLERS!

3. All storm posters seem clueless in difference between ball: solids, paricles pearls and solid partilces. Guys. Get a clue!

The bolwer's delivery PLUS the ball speed Plus the oil Pattern are a MAJOR difference.

Does anyone out there have their thinking caps on???
Duh???
I am getting so tired.

then there's the freaking morons that think or believe, like the MAJOR MORON, T-GOD (about thme I said this) because Legends cores are lighter and higher RG because of their 14 lb core, tha they lack hitting power. as if any stupid, moron with any knowledge of the least little bit would assume there was zero relationship between the core and the cover, like the MORON, T-God! How anyone could assume such is far,far beyond me.

Nuff said! I give up. I surrender. Let stupidity and Republican reigns,

I case oyu're thinking otherwise. Doc.

I have have had it. See you on the other side!!

CharlesT, even the most level headed people can have a breakdown now and again.  Being the poster you are, and responding to quite a bit as people ask for your help, you are able to provide answers that you might find basic but some people don't think about regularly.  You have apologized for the lapse, but I wouldn't fret on it too much.

Charlest.. You have helped a lot of people,including this bowling hack, thru the years here at BR.  I do feel your pain as the devolution of the site goes own (Hmm in some sci-fi movies, this is a reason why the God and Elves left eh..)... and if you were anywhere near me, I go and look you up to have a couple of beer.

Hang on in there buddy.. someone has to keep the faith.. I would if I could but I'm just a grasshopper here.. LOL!!

good day man!!

Dude, you are awesome.

I think some people are a little inexperienced, and they talk about things... that they think they know... but they really don't understand.

It's gonna be okay, brother. It WILL be alright.

He seems to understand quite well the difference.  Perhaps you didn't read his reply at 7:43AM (for me, at least).  Maybe you ignored it after your ravings.  Frankly, I think you did fly off the handle on this one.  And you definitely didn't read his profile, a big goof on your part.

The other, you're right.  It's burning up and that guy is still of the mindset that he simply needs to make the ball stronger.  Doesn't get it at all.

I don't know what the deal is with the 14# L/LM stuff, nor why it's such a big deal in the first place.  It's getting old, and will remain "old" until whatshisname gets a reply from them.
