Back to work

Great forum, but it amazes me sometimes, the stuff that interests people here. You can post something pool-related and get no response at all, but then bring up Eddie Wheat.... No one's gotten tired of talking about him yet? All this attention does is make him seem legitimate in the eyes of some, and as he's stated - he's loving it. I don't blame him.

Who????

You got it :

Dave <-- wasn't fooled the first time

I don't live in a place that is what I call "pool friendly" so I quit when I moved here 12 yrs ago. I quit going to events (except the expo) almost 2 yrs ago when my finances got tight. Since I don't shoot pool anymore, I don't have cues, equipment, or league stuff to talk about. Since I rarely make it to a tournament, I don't know any current pool stuff to talk about. I don't reply to posts about pool very much because I've nothing to offer, nor do I get much from them since I don't shoot anymore. I am however, still friends with the folks here. I talk mostly non-pool related stuff here with my friends.

Tims <--- doesn't give two sh!ts about EW

Timberly, certainly anyone can talk about anything they want to - it just surprises me that Eddie Wheat is so interesting to so many people, and so many have lost interest in pool. Here's something for you - hope it's not a repeat:

I didn't realize that you don't play anymore. Of course, most who know me here would say that I NEVER played.

Thanks Dave...I think I was at that concert.....but I might be fooled................again!

But certainly not by any dumbass cuemaker methinks.

Dave <--- hasn't seen the Who but has listened to their albums / CDs at 11, which is nice

Eddie

I am sorry to say you are legend in your own mind.

I would not even spit on you if you were on fire.


Jimbo where is the ignore feature??

Well between the internet forum or all of the porn I am sure he views everyday....

Eddie, you are a douche to the enth degree.

Im sure this is a matter of "any publicity is good publicity?" I dunno the guy but I read enough to know something...EVERYONE cant be wrong.

The guy lives in a totally distorted world. Bad publicity is not GOOD publicity...it's BAD publicity any way you cut it. Tiger Woods' bad publicity was just that...BAD publicity. Al Gores' publicity with the masseuse is BAD publicity. Bill Clinton blowing a wad was BAD publicity. Ted Kennedy driving a car off a pier and into the water killing someone was BAD publicity. The list goes on and on. There is NOTHING GOOD regarding BAD PUBLICITY.

That is, unless a person is a total NOBODY in life and becomes a somebody from a few minutes of recognition even if it's being called and pointed out as a total douche loser.

Click on "User Control Panel" in the top right corner. In the left hand column, you'll see "User Groups" with a tab under it for "Friends and Foes". Click that. Then click "Manage Foes".

Type in his name in the little box and voilà! No more Wheat!

Thanks I can now be 'Wheat free'.

Everyone can't be right either... It's all subjective, but all this drama was NEVER really about my cuemaking ability, it was about ME personally and the immature way I attempted to handle my business after marketing the hell out of WheatCues on AZ forum that set the stage for the clowns and haters to play their role in.

Yes I screwed up spending more time trying to counter-attack my opponents and winning the matches on AZ instead of just ignoring them and getting real work done that I fell way behind on orders and that is the unfortunate summarization of the never-ending saga.

Whether you approve or not, whether you like me or not is irrelevant to my plight, I come on here NOT to advertise or market myself, but to simply post pics of my work, to share with others who like to look at custom made cues as well as fellow cuemakers who get different ideas of cue configurations just as I have from many over the years... I love building cues and repairing them as well as extensive restoration work, nothing has changed in that dept. but I am trying to correct my past by changing the present so that I will have less "haters" in the future !

We live and learn from our mistakes.... I am NO exception just as any of you are not above screwing up, I however, obviously make my screw-ups very public so I have alot more static to deal with, which is why I have to be a little more careful from now on with how I conduct myself so that I do not creat un-necessary "static" that enables my opponents to freely insult me !

As I said before, I'm over the pissing contests and fueling the fires, becasue I dedicated my life to this industry and I have to look out for my best interest instead of the immature taking-on-the-world mentality that got me into this very avoidable situation to begin with.

So with all this being said, I will continue to conduct myyself in a more tasteful non-confrontational manner and post pics of my work as the cues get completed for those who are interested to see and of couse those of you who could care less can simply ignore my posts !

Very Sincerely, Eddie Wheat
