Hi Wity,

.....and this one must be a private joke, usually takes me about 12 weeks to get the punch line..

.....Don't think I've ever been on talksnooker though, but I've looked on snookertalk, not sure if same thing?, but interesting anyway, and still think tsf is the best....

And just a thought, is that Freddie Starr in your piccie?....

Lol...xx

The world of online forums is a funny one, just like emails and texts, forum postings can easily be taken in the wrong way, as intonation etc is hard to judge. Coupled with the often large egos to be found online its not surprising disagreements happen so often. Also people dont really like to be proved wrong: ie in this case that a blue diamond tip is pressed not laminated.

Hi Q,

......thought that was the case, and had a look on e-bay, they've got a pack of 3 'genuine 10mm blue diamond snooker tips' - current price £1.75 - description is an interesting one too...

And it also mentioned that a company called Brunswick, in Wisconsin, I think, USA make them. And didn't realise that they were made from water buffalo hide, plus silica.

So no-one in the UK makes them then, just supplies?

WOW....
JUST WOW....
HOW IN HELL THIS KIND OF POST COULD BE TOLERATED IN HERE???

Wity, you may have been ****ed off to be banned form Talk Snooker but this is not a reason to act like a 10 year ol' kid who doesn't have a clue about what he's talking about! You have been whispering for many days in TS and now you've been banned, you look like a kid who got spanked and want a sort of revenge by insulting other people...Bravo, class act....

I'm just stunned to see such BS ....I am a historian and I REALLY don't like people who are 'playing' with the pic of the Führer because it means a lot!! This guy has killed millions of people, I don't need to learn this to anyone....how in hell can you compare James, TS mod', to such a serial murderer?? I know it's '5th degree humour' from you part but for me, this is not humour at all when it reaches this stage !!

I've thought for a long time that you and ADR weren't the most clever guys on this forum but there, you have really crossed the red line in my opinion...

For all the people interested in the story, ADR147 and Wity had not been banned because of this "layered tip or not" story (who is seriously gonna swallow hook, line and sinker like this one???) but because of their offensive and aggresive posts. Full stop!
TalkSnooker.com is a nice forum, it is well moderated and the freedom of speech is obviously respected as far as your behavior towards the other users is fine.. I think it's the same policy on TSF. But when you come on a forum and your first post is for saying 'oh there is a lot of drivel on this forum...I'm gonna give you my massive knowledge and experience' (sic)....I'm sorry but you cannot expect people to welcome you with open arms...

So you'd better keep a low-profile attitude because you are really making yourself like a fool...

[Wity]

Yeah it's Freddy Starr, It was a toss up between him and Chubby Brown but Chubby's never been known to say a sentence without bucket mouth language, and I promised myself I wont get banned from more than one forum per week.

Talksnooker and snooker talk are different forums, neither are a patch on this. One is run by an idiot on a power trip and the other is not run at all now and is full of spam.

[Wity]

Erwen, now now mate ask your mommy to pick up the dummy you've just thrown from your pram promise her you wont tell any more porkies and giz a kiss.

preferably on my arse.

Hi Wity,

.........I agree, tsf is the best, without doubt, , and the times I've been on to snooker talk really it's just to have a look at the 'Snooker Rules and Referees section', really good posts on there, and just to keep myself up-to-speed on in-off rule, snookering behind a free ball, miss-rule, touching ball etc.

And there's some great info on here as well, I've found quite a bit in the 'Snooker Questions' section, and really informative responses from the guys. And there's probably a bit more too, but I've missed it. I always think as well that you need a masters degree in logic to understand any sort of rulings in sport, , and don't get me started on the offside rule in football, still, it would be very boring if we all understood everything, all of the time.

Think snooker referees do a great job too, having to learn all that ruling information, and being impartial with the players, and keeping the fans happy. Not an easy job, I applaud anyone that does this....

Lol.......xx

[Wity]

Yeah being a referee is not an easy job in any game. Some of them do have a sense of humor though. A mate of mine is a qualified football ref his car broke down once and i gave him a lift to the match. West Brom Ladies v Sheffield ladies it was.
There were only a handful of spectators and my son and I had one stand to ourselves. My son was only 8 at the time and was getting bored so I got him to sing "The referees a ******" After a few minuites and the occasional two fingered salute given as if scratching his back Alan the ref blew for a throw in or something gathered the players around him and spoke to them.

Next thing my son knew he was red carded and carried out of the stand by 22women.

Something no Frenchman would ever do eh Erwan? Of course not, who ever heard of one with a sense of humor?

[ADR147]

LMAO i like this post! - erwan m8 if you read my post you will see its not at all offensive or aggressive. i got banned for the following.

i said a blue diamond was not a layered tip - its not, and then i put on a photo asking how many layers you can see! this photo!



- i also said the post on tips contained a lot of drivel - it does, i don't know who these people are and i don't much care but if you are going to tout yourself as an expert it helps if you know a little! - its cheeky maybe, but offensive no, as to my level of intelligence as you mention so kindly in your post its a bit rich as i am pretty well educated and i have given no cause for anyone to imagine i might somehow be limited in faculties. so its basically an insult. As to wity's posts and your condemnation of them, its a free country and he should be allowed to express his opinion how he feels, in this case with a big pinch of salt.

since your a historian you must see why, not only do i feel that wity's post is funny, but also a pretty good frame of reference - i feel a bit like thomas mann et al myself - whats the difference between what jamesp did to me and what hitler did to them?

[atthebookies]

Nearly approaching The Beeb Forum may 2006! Though, they did not have options to add pictures!!

[Black_cat]

Wheeeeee! Scandal! Snooker fight! Diamond versus Elk Master, BCE versus Parris, green chalk versus blue chalk etc.
Disclaimer: those were just some brands randomly thrown in and I've never been nor was I meant to be a snooker expert.
Spot on, I was getting terminally bored.
Scandal!

[ADR147]

its not really a scandal, just an over zealous moderator with a bit of a napoleon complex! (note: its a joke people for those who never get it!)

[hegeland]

Can someone please enlighten me just what the heck is this thread is about?

[ADR147]

its just wity letting of steam after being subjected to some draconion enforcement on another forum!
