Unknown to you, the two top figures at the PPA had told us on several occasions that they would never use Annie Duke again for anything. (We first voiced our concerns to them went I met with D'Amato and Pappas in the summer of 2008 at the WSOP.) Yet they continued to use her, including her testimony before Congress. So when this went up, it was our way of saying to the PPA that we would not tolerate any more and that we meant business.
Fortunately, thanks to help from TheEngineer, the PPA quickly corrected this and we have been able to maintain a good working relationship with them, and TheEngineer, Skallagrim, PokerXanadu, and a couple of others have been important contributors to 2+2.

I do agree that you should never get into a business deals that are associated to Annie Duke .
But you went on complete monkey tilt because of a raised fist picture which in your mind = communist russia ready to nuke america and take over the world Darth Vader style. Not because of Annie Duke.
If you made a thread that said : PPA, remove all connections to Annie Duke or we are terminating your forum.
That would be 100% ok due to her shadiness .
So your logic is as follows:
*Mason does not want to be associated with anything Annie Duke related
*PPA uses Annie Duke in their campaign
*Mason tells them to quit Annie
*PPA uses Annie again
*Mason does nothing
*PPA puts raised fist picture on their web
*Mason goes on monkey tilt
I just dont get the connection between Annie and a perfectly fine picture that represents "fight for your right"
And this response of yours even makes it look worse.
You were not satisfied with their business connection with Annie so you threaten them on an unrelated thing ????
DUCY ppl think you are weird/hate you ?
