Id been hearing about this thread for a bit on a few other sites.. Best I can see is somehow Mason and Skalansky claim they made the poll as a joke. Nearly every poster called BS.. And for some reason somebody had to dig down into the muck and bring up poor Brandi who's been dead for years because of mental illness issues and doesn't really deserve to have her name dragged through the mud again. I know a guy who dated her actually and while he admits she had issues he'd also agree she doesn't deserve to have her name dragged into this thread, other then for some ugly attempt to take a pot shot at Skalansky.. Theres plenty of other ways to do so without crapping on the memory of some gal who had issues and ultimately took her own life guys just saying..

fwiw, its pretty obviously a joke. This is basically textbook sklansky humor.

I voted to keep the apology letter stickied for another two years ONLY IF Dutch is given the opportunity to buy out 2+2 for $60,000.

Yeah you're right. Dutch has done SO much more for the poker community than 2+2 books or this particular web site has. Oh wait...

I wonder if somebody posted this in the thread about why people gave away poker strategy and got so little in return, whether it'd have an impact on the poll?

You could surely recruit a couple of the zealots from over there into the Keep it Up party.

I suggest that a poll be conducted every year (during "Apology Week") to verify that the will of the members is still being followed on this issue.

Take it down..

Would only laugh at this thread if it turned out this was all a huge level to get prop bet action on lie detector tests

That's a truly scary thought. But I might read it, once it's in the discount bin.

Anyone notice or mention in the thread yet that the apology letter has already apparently been taken down?

Can't find it anywhere anymore; early one-month severance, it seems.

Now this thread wil be deleted and the dutch boyd incident will be over. Thanks poker forum gods!
