What is wrong with charlest??
« on: August 09, 2004, 04:54:32 PM »
I don't know what's up with him, but he has become even more rude in his postings about other people's bowling;

Seems to be biting people's heads off faster than normal?

No i don't wish to see charlest stop posting. usually he is frank and to the point. keeping it simple.

i don't have time to read every post on this board, and heck i usually only read about 1 out of every 5 topics in the misc forum. usually if the head line is interesting or i see a poster i know( not personally but recognize they are a frequent and quality poster) i will read it.

I've had a very good experience with Charlest in regards to a ball he sold me. He actually gave me some good advise in terms of buying and selling on the FS/W forum. From what I've read of his reviews they are very well written and chock full of information.

I also agree that unless your house shot changes daily, more than 3 balls for a league night is overkill.

Personally I never hardly post on this site anymore. If its a young or new bowler asking a question I simply send him an IM. He can listen to everyones suggestion and do what he thinks is logical. I got tired of some posters on here trying to out do or bash another suggestion so I quit posting all together. I only answer the person that posts the question. It has nothing to do with charlest

my father passed away back in december and have found myself snapping at people that i usually don't. it's entirely possible there's going on in his personal life we don't know about. i don't take his or anyone elses remarks personally. some of his statements aren't entirely accurate so their importance in negated.

part of what steven has said isn't that accurate anymore either. that's partly my fault as i haven't updated my profile in a while. my ajustments to lane conditions still work whether i'm throwing hard and straight from the outside or looping it from the inside. again, THIS is my fault as i haven't updated my profile in some time. since my father passed away i have made an effort to try and get along with people better. charlest is entitled to his opinion as am i.

I have not read through all the post, don't have time, but do want to say that when I see a post by charlest I generally read it. He has helped me a lot and I have come to respect, and trust him.

My apologies to all, esp. Greg Hoppe and 15poundballs.
I have removed the offending texts but left the empty posts.
Greg was mostly right about some personal concerns affecting my judgement and the extreme lateness of the hour also contributed to my lack of "filtering".

Steven, Please do not presume anything by my lack of reply.

Dude, Please lock this topic, as it has distracted far too much from the actual business of this website.

Folks, I will attempt to insure such happens as infrequently as possible in the future.

Again,my apologies for causing so much unnecessary trouble.
